Talked to an old timer who changed my mind on power stretchers

Had a guy named Dave at the supply house tell me he only uses knee kickers for everything, even big rooms. Said power stretchers wreck your back over time and he's been at it 35 years with no issues. Makes me wonder if I'm overcomplicating things - anyone else ditch the power stretcher?

Power stretchers wreck your back" - that's what my buddy Carl told me after his first year running one. He switched back to knee kicker and never looked back. Now he's 50, still crawling around on floors with no complaints. I tried his way once, took forever on a big living room, but he was done in half the time I'd have taken with the power stretcher. Makes you think all that fancy gear ain't always the answer.

Carl had it right. My back is way happier with the knee kicker too.
