My power stretcher was backwards for 2 years, a homeowner spotted it in Boise
I've been installing for about 6 years and always set up my power stretcher with the head facing the wall, flipping it around for long runs. Last month a homeowner watched me work and asked why I was pushing instead of pulling. I checked the manual that night and yeah, I had the grain wrong the whole time. The kicker is my seams were always a bit wavy near the edges, I just blamed the pad. Has anyone else had a tool that you used wrong for way longer than you want to admit?

Wait, you had the head facing the wall for six years? That's wild. I've seen guys mess up a lot of stuff on the job, but never the whole direction of the tool. Honestly, it makes sense why your edges were wavy, that thing was fighting you the whole time.
