Used to stretch carpet with a knee kicker for everything, now I use a power stretcher for almost all my residential jobs

Back when I started 8 years ago I thought a knee kicker was fine for a 12x15 room because that's what the old timer who taught me used. Three years ago I finally bought a power stretcher after dealing with a wrinkle call back on a hallway in Phoenix where the customer pointed at a ripple that was maybe an inch long. Now I use the power stretcher for any room wider than 10 feet and I only touch the knee kicker for closets and little landings. My lower back is way happier too. What's your go to for tight spots where a power stretcher won't fit?

Oh yeah it's funny how once you upgrade you can never go back...

Is it really that clear cut though? I upgraded my phone two years ago and honestly I still miss the headphone jack and the physical home button from my old one. Some of the newer features feel like they're solving problems I never had.
