Insert your junior power stretcher head into the frame’s rear rubber pad. Place the front steel plate snugly into the gap under the tackless strip and against the wall.

Best For Carpet installers needing edge stretching without extending rods Projects with limited wall clearance Commercial or residential installs needing precision at perimeters Installers who prefer less handling and fewer components on site Safety: Always reinforce the wall’s tackless strip before use to avoid damage.
