PSA: I stopped using a power stretcher for every single room and it's been fine.
Everyone says you absolutely need one for every install, but on a small 10x12 bedroom last week, I just used a knee kicker and a ton of careful tack strips. The carpet is tight as a drum and the homeowner was thrilled. Has anyone else found a power stretcher is overkill for small, simple spaces?

What happens when that drum-tight carpet relaxes in six months? You're risking callbacks and unhappy customers by skipping the proper tool.

Have you ever had a callback from that?

My buddy tried that on a sunroom once. Got a callback eight months later for a huge wrinkle right down the middle.
