Finally switched from a standard knee kicker to a power stretcher for long rooms

Used to fight with the knee kicker on anything over 15 feet, but after pulling a muscle in my hip last month I broke down and got a power stretcher from Home Depot. Has anyone else noticed how much faster seams look with one or is that just me?

Oh man, I hear you loud and clear on that hip thing. I was in the same boat, kept using the knee kicker for rooms because I thought power stretchers were overkill. But after a 20 foot living room left me limping for two days, I finally made the switch. The seams really do lay down nicer and faster with a power stretcher. I noticed right away that I wasn't fighting the carpet to get it tight in the middle of the room. And honestly, my body thanks me every time I set it up now.

Man I swear my knee still clicks from the old days before I got smart about power stretchers. It's like my body was trying to tell me something but I was too stubborn to listen until I couldn't walk right for a week. Now I just set that thing up and let it do the heavy lifting while I stand there feeling REAL smart.
