Switched from a manual stretcher to a power stretcher about a year ago on a big job in Phoenix.

I used to fight with a knee kicker for hours on big rooms, especially with that thick 80 oz. commercial stuff. Now I use a Roberts 10-500 power stretcher and it's a total game changer, my back thanks me every day. Anyone else made that switch and have tips on keeping the adjustment pins from sticking in dry heat?

Nah, I gotta disagree. My tools hold up fine out here. It's all about the prep. Keep those pins clean, a little dry lube before you start. The heat just means you gotta wipe them down more often. My old kicker warped way worse than any power stretcher parts ever have.

Man, that dry heat is brutal on tools.
