Had to pick between a drop-down power stretcher and a standard one for my new setup

I got a big job installing carpet in a new house in Nashville last week and needed a good power stretcher. I went with the drop-down model because it seemed easier on my knees for long runs, but now I am struggling to get it to grip on tight corners. Should I have just stuck with the standard head for this kind of work?

Man, my buddy had the exact same issue last month on a house in Smyrna. He ended up switching back to the standard head after day two and said it was way better for the corners.

Did you try just kicking it harder?
