Watching a new crew try to stretch a Berber in a Denver condo without a power stretcher

They were trying to knee kick it into place, and you could see the ripples forming from the door. I had to stop and show them how to set the pins and use a proper stretcher, even on a small job. That tight stretch is the difference between a call back in six months and a floor that stays put for a decade. What's the one tool you won't start a job without anymore?

What's my non-negotiable tool? A power stretcher. You can't fake a proper stretch, and knee-kicking just won't cut it. It saves your body and saves the job.

Right, @casey_campbell, but how many guys wreck their backs before they finally buy one?
