Just watched a guy in my crew try to stretch a whole room without a knee kicker first
He was fighting the carpet for an hour before I showed him how to set the center with a kicker to take out the main wrinkles. It makes the power stretcher work way better and saves so much time. Anyone else have a basic step they see people skip that causes big problems later?

Skipping the knee kicker is a classic rookie move. It just leaves you fighting the carpet instead of controlling it. Getting that center set right first makes the whole job go smooth.

Ugh, that's everywhere though! People skip the basic setup to save five minutes and then waste an hour fixing the mess. It's like trying to pressure wash a driveway without even sweeping it first, you're just moving the dirt around.
