Knew my power stretcher was acting up, got the full repair bill anyway
My old power stretcher started making this grinding noise on a Tuesday job last month and I figured I could push through the day. By Wednesday it completely seized up on me while I was trying to stretch a bedroom in a split level house. Had to call around to three different shops before finding someone who could fix it same day, cost me $175 total. Has anyone else had a power stretcher fail mid job and had to scramble for a replacement?

Hate to say it but $175 sounds pretty fair for a same day fix on a power stretcher. Those things are beasts to work on and most shops won't even touch them.

Right, because nothing says "fair price" like a giant floor-stretcher that could double as a medieval torture device...

And honestly $175 is a steal when you consider how much of a nightmare those power stretchers are to repair. I had one jam up on me a few months back and spent two hours just getting the stupid housing screws off without stripping them. Have you ever had to take a whole one apart just to fix a single spring?
