Shoutout to the guy who showed me a trick with a knee kicker

I used to stretch carpet by hand and pray it didn't wrinkle after a day. Last summer, an old timer in Denver taught me to use my knee kicker at a 45 degree angle instead of straight on, and it's made a huge difference. Has anyone else tried adjusting their kicker angle like that?

Game changer" for real... totally saved my knees too.

Learned that trick when I got tired of busting my knuckles on the baseboard.

Used to think the angle didn't matter that much, but after trying it at 45 degrees the carpet stays put way better. It takes some practice to get the feel right without slipping. Definitely a game changer for keeping the edges tight without fighting the tool.
