- What is included in the Roberts 10-752 kit?
- It is a 22-piece carpet installation kit built around a 24-inch knee kicker and a power stretcher with extension poles, plus a seaming iron, stair tool, trimmer, tack strip setter and other fitting tools, all in a tool box.
- Is this kit enough to install carpet in a whole room?
- Yes for a typical room. The knee kicker and power stretcher handle stretching, and the seaming iron and trimmer cover seams and edges. Very large or complex jobs may call for extra pro-grade tools.
- Is it suitable for a first-time DIY installer?
- It gives you the main tools in one purchase, which helps a first-timer. Carpet stretching still takes practice, so watch a few install videos before starting.
- How heavy and large is the kit?
- It weighs about 28 lb and stands around 25 inches tall in its box, so plan for storage space and a two-handed carry.
- Are the tools professional grade?
- They are general-duty tools that suit home and light commercial installs. Working installers often prefer separate pro-grade kickers and stretchers for daily use.
- Does it work for stairs as well as floors?
- Yes. The kit includes a stair tool for fitting carpet on steps, along with the trimmer and knee kicker used on landings and rooms.
