Dropped $180 on a power stretcher and it paid for itself in one week

I finally caved and bought a quality power stretcher after using a knee kicker for three years straight. The first big living room I did with it took half the time and the seams came out perfect. Anyone else put off buying the good gear only to kick yourself later?

Saved you what, an hour maybe?

You ever seen a guy try to fix a sagging floor with a kneeler? Buddy of mine rented a cheap power stretcher once, figured he'd save cash. Spent four hours fighting it, seams gaping everywhere. Ended up ripping out half the carpet and ordering a proper one overnight. That week cost him two weekends and his wife's patience. Now he buys good gear first thing, no questions asked.
