An engaging head for a carpet stretcher is disclosed. The engaging head comprises a body, having a leading edge, a carpet-facing side extending in a trailing direction from the leading edge, and an upper side opposite to the carpet-facing side. A leading cotton-head is disposed on the carpet-facing side parallel and adjacent to the leading edge. Trailing cotton-heads are disposed on the carpet-facing side behind the leading cotton-head and transverse to the leading edge, and pin-teeth are disposed on the carpet-facing side and interspersed between the trailing cotton-heads. In an embodiment of the invention, a portion of the body adjacent to the leading cotton-head is substantially wider in a direction parallel to the leading edge than a trailing portion of the body whereon the trailing cotton-heads and the pin teeth are disposed. The body of the engaging head, when viewed in a direction looking towards the carpet-facing side, may be T-shaped. Optionally, an adjustment mechanism is mounted to the body and connected to the trailing cotton-heads, operative to extend the trailing cotton-heads from the body. A further option is to provide adjustment mechanism mounted to the body and connected to the leading cotton-head, to retract the leading cotton-head into the body.
