Cheap, very. When I was looking at carpet stretchers not that long ago y= ou didn't get change from =A370 but that was for a profesional grade/qualit= y tool.
If you are only into a room every year or so it may well do the biz, I'd= want adjustable pentration of the spikes and adjustable length but most =
important a well padded, but firm, knee end.
DIY group? Tush! I made one years ago from scrap plywood, tacks & some foam.
Plywood? Foam? Eeh, thee 'ad it soft. When I 'prenticed at t' tender age of three un'arf to t' village carpet fitter we used to 'ammer six inch nails through us kneecaps an be grateful fur it.
An' when carpet fitting went quiet like us used to earn bob on t' side by aerating t' lawns of t' rich folk in t' big 'ouses.
Owain
Luxury!
