That job at a Chicago condo changed my mind about stretch-in

I was installing carpet in a high rise near the Loop and the owner demanded no power stretcher, just knee kicker. After seeing the wrinkles show up three days later, I realized I was wrong about getting away without a full stretch every time. Any of you guys run into clients who insist on skipping the power stretcher?

Nah man, knee kickers work fine if you know what you're doing and the padding's good. Sounds like the real issue was the installer's technique, not the tool.

Power stretcher saved my knees and time on a big job last month.
