Roberts Launches The General Knee Kicker, Ideal for Tight Spaces

By FLOOR Trends & Installation Editors
Roberts The General Knee Kicker 2023
November 8, 2023

The General Knee Kicker by Roberts is a rugged, high-performance tool for carpet installation, and ideal to apply tension to carpet when installing in smaller spaces like closets, staircases and other hard to reach places. The aluminum die-cast construction makes this knee kicker tough, sturdy, and durable. 

The General is designed with an extra wide 5" head, and thick 2" gel core bumper pad to better absorb shock and protect the knees. It features four strips of napping grips, five rows of steel pins and an adjustable dial that calibrates seven depth settings for use with various types of carpet, as well as a telescoping handle that extends length from 17.5" to 21.5" for better reach and efficiency. It is designed with a high-contour neck for use over a stretcher head and poles.
