Hey Keith, Excellent "How To" video!! I like the way you split the room into 1/4's . that is very important especially when stretching large rooms. Great job!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks Pete🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙😀

[@jeffbrownbbccarpetcare]

I have it. Now I better understand how it works and can use it more often. Thanks for breaking it down to an understandable way to visualize the process!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Jeff thanks for watching 👍👍👍👍

[@jeffbrownbbccarpetcare]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet I primarily re-stretch . Could you do a vid on that please sir?

[@garyatkin851]

Had mine for over a month, great bit of kit.

[@MrGoodCompany]

Interesting. I'll have to try one of these out. Thanks for sharing!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Good job Keith, I appreciate you making this video I have people ask all the time about how to stretch with it, while I do not feel comfortable stretching in rooms with it I will not recommend that so since you have made this I now have have somewhere to send them So they can learn the technique

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks brother appreciate that!😀😀😀😀😀

[@marioeddenalvarez4771]

Keith,Great video Had the kneeless stretcher for several months now and only used it once since things didn’t go as smoothly,after watching this video I have to give it another go with a better understanding of technique,thanks for sharing.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Good luck!

[@waltbee6333]

Thanks for the demonstration!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks Walt

[@ReinSman100]

I like your method. I plan on using it for restreaching. I also clean carpets. Thank you for the video.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks for watching😀😀😀😀😀

[@jeorgealmanza1286]

Yeah I got to play with it more. Just got one. Did like it as a second hand to my power.. stretcher

[@jaredanderson3848]

Awesome its nice not having too use poles. Gotta get me 1.i use my power stretcher same way makes sense thanks man

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks Jared!🤙🤙🤙

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Hello Keith, anxious to watch it should be a good video

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Hey bud thanks nothing special just my technique 😀😀😀😀😀🤙🤙🤙

[@johnplayer8474]

Very informative, looks well,don't seem to able to purchase it in Northern Ireland..but sure I will keep trying....cheers keith

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Kneeless won’t ship to Ireland?

[@luisvasallo3646]

I have install many thousands of yards over the years with my kneeless with out a call back. The only different is I use the spreder i round the corner wish makes it slide in the carpet. Works much better and install much faster.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

🤙🤙🤙

[@JMorris216]

I've seen southern boy use one of these in his video. So I don't know what he's talking bout. That thing looks pretty cool. I bet it does hallways pretty nice.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Yeah we like it 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@adamnunan6105]

Lol there was still a bubble in that corner you did on left of sliding door. Good little tool to replace a kicker, but id never use this over the crain stretcherfor a full room 👍.

[@4hiscause238]

Agreed Adam. There is no way this is an adequate stretch (especially for commercial carpet over pad). Yes , it may be okay for "setting", but it opposes itself too much to allow the carpet to stretch adequately. Your technically only stretching the carpet for the length of the tool itself.

[@maximusoxf]

Hi Keith, enjoy your videos! Ive got a kneeless and like it (although im a lot slower with it lol) feel like i get a better stretch with it than with the knee kicker. My only concern is with the pins on the stretcher being so long. Ive bent a couple on concrete floor and wandered how you get around this? As you don’t seem to have this problem. Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I’ve had that problem for years and I am going to make a video about it! The soloist ion is to take a pair of players or snips and cut off the tips then they don’t bend and snag🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@maximusoxf]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet that’s great thanks for the reply makes sense a video on that would be good . Look forward to your next vids 👍👍👍

[@corvoattano8113]

Hi Keith, what are your top 3 or 4 carpet picks (brand+product line)?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I like Anderson Tuftex / Mohawk/ Shaw

[@yorktowngreen4023]

Keith, is it possible to remove an old wall to wall carpet (about 30' x 15'), take it outside, clean and dry it, then bring it back in and reinstall it. I could get new carpet but I really like the style of the old carpet.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I’ve never heard of that before/ the only problem I see with that is 30x15 will probably have a seam running through and you could possibly disrupt it / but if you want to try to for it and let me know how it went!

[@kofiannoh7086]

Very useful . I am a beginner in carpet fitting and how can I find one stretcher like that in the Uk . Cheers

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Those stretchers come from Canada www.kneeless.com ask for Pete tell ‘‘em keith sent ya 😀

[@MrVibeless]

Does it come with cotton teeth as well? Those spikes seem really extreme for loop piles and velvets.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I do cut off the tips so they don’t pull loops and berbers

[@luisbolanos5604]

What brand are your boots?? They look comfortable and sturdy.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Just work boots 😀

[@candidotorres8041]

Hey Keith where may I buy the tri force stair stretcher.please tell me

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Talk to Pete at kneeless.com

[@MG-wp4gl]

Liked video, but towards the end you forgot to `engage` carpet onto smoothedge by using stair tool to `iron`!!!

[@juliuscaesar8801]

Will this tool work on removing buckles?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

It does for me

[@pienash6187]

What's the name of the spatula looking tool

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I think you mean carpet tucker or stair tool?

[@Southern612]

I gotta order me one of these kneeless much easier on the knees than kicking good video you just made me order one

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

🤙

[@jsballeck]

How long is it ? Just wondering about stairs

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Fits across stairs great!

[@freddyvazquez5043]

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

[@brandonaugust8899]

Where can I order one?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

[@markhernandez3860]

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

🤙

[@joehollah6911]

But this is literally not stretching the carpet it's only stretching the width of the kicker

[@jamesharder5107]

I'm surprised you could stretch that low pile carpet, and I'm guessing home depot? Guessing by gold pad But no I'm honestly impressed every time working with that style of carpet, not easy to stretch

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Commercial carpet 20 ounce from our supplier Beauliu carpet manufacturing

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

Still not near as tight as a regular power stretcher
