Abstract
A carpet stretching apparatus includes a sleeve that has a first end and a second end. The first end is open. A carpet stretcher extends outwardly of the first end and is rotatable with respect to the sleeve. A locking member releasably engages the sleeve to the carpet stretcher in a first position or a second position. The first and second positions are orientated 90° with respect to each other. An anchor is attached to the second end of the sleeve and releasably engages the carpet.
