The difference between a power stretcher and a knee kicker on long runs

I used to knee kick everything because that's how my old man taught me. Tried a power stretcher on a 30 foot bedroom last month and it saved me at least an hour plus the seams actually stayed flat. Has anyone else made the switch and not gone back?

Fell asleep on the job with a knee kicker once, woke up with carpet burns on my chin.

Had a buddy who nodded off mid-install once, leaned into a baseboard and cracked a tooth right in half. Took him three tries to get the angle right on the next piece cause he was still half asleep and spitting blood. Carpet work is brutal when you're running on no sleep, I don't miss those 14-hour days at all.
