That $200 power stretcher was a total waste for me
Bought a top-of-the-line power stretcher off the truck last spring, figured it'd speed up my installs. First few jobs went okay, but then I hit a rippled living room in Dayton and the thing just wouldn't get the tension right. Took me twice as long to fix with a knee kicker, and I ended up having to rent a different one anyway. Anyone else find the cheap models are fine for most residential work, or am I just missing a technique?
