Vent: I always thought a knee kicker was fine for small rooms, but a job in a Denver split-level changed my mind.
Had to choose between using my old knee kicker or renting a power stretcher for a 12x15 living room with a tricky angled wall. I went with the kicker to save the rental fee... but after two hours of fighting wrinkles and a sore knee, I went and got the power stretcher. The difference was night and day, got the rest of the room tight and flat in under 30 minutes. Wasted half a morning being stubborn. For rooms over 10 feet wide, do you guys always use a power stretcher, or is there a trick with a kicker I'm missing?
