Took me 5 years to stop stretching carpet the old way

I used to kick everything in with a knee kicker for years, thinking power stretchers were unnecessary for small rooms until I got called back to a bedroom in Austin where the carpet had rippled after 3 months. That 45 minute fix taught me more than any manual ever did - now I power stretch everything over 8 feet wide, even closets. Who else switched tools late in the game and felt dumb about it?

Heard a buddy say power stretchers saved his knees more than his carpets, made me reconsider.

Man, how bad were his knees before he tried one? Was it like an immediate difference or did it take a few jobs to really feel it?
