PSA: Knee kickers are not for long hallways

Was helping a buddy install carpet in a 30-foot hallway last week and my knee is still killing me. Borrowed his power stretcher for my next job and it took half the time. Anyone else swear by one over a kicker for big rooms?

Disagree with @robins83 on this one. I've been using a knee kicker for 20 years on runs way longer than 30 feet and my knees are fine (well, as fine as a roofer's can be). Power stretchers are heavy, need two hands to adjust, and you waste time setting them up when a good knee kicker rhythm gets the job done just as fast.

30 foot hallway and ur still sore? @victor779 i mean if ur body's fine after 20 years maybe it's not that serious for everyone else either

Dude yes, once I switched to a power stretcher for anything over like 15 feet I never looked back. My knees actually thanked me lol.
