Chose a knee kicker over a power stretcher on a staircase in Reno, learned my lesson fast

Got a job last week redoing the stairs and hall of a house up in Reno. It was a tight space, so I grabbed my knee kicker instead of hauling the power stretcher up there. Figured the kicker was quicker and I could stretch it by feel. Wound up with a wrinkle on the second landing that showed up two days later. Client called me back out and I had to pull the whole run and redo it with the stretcher anyway. Anyone else get burned trying to save time on stairs?
