Big stretcher vs. knee kicker for long hallways... heard a guy at the supply house swear by knee kickers only
He said power stretchers mess up the seams on longer runs over 30 feet. But I've been using my big stretcher for years and never had issues. What do you all think?

My old boss swore by the big stretcher for years until we did a 50-foot hallway that looked terrible. Tried a knee kicker on the next one and honestly the seams came out way better.

Knee kicker all day for hallways. That big stretcher just pulls everything loose in long runs and you get those wavy seams every time. The kicker lets you work section by section and actually feel when the carpet locks in right. Plus you can really dial in the tension on each row instead of hoping the big pull worked.
