Update: I was wrong about using a power stretcher on stairs

I always hand-kicked stairs for 8 years, thought power stretchers would mess up the pattern. Finally tried one on a tricky set of 14 steps in a townhouse last week. Used a Roberts 10-45 with the stair attachment, saved me like 2 hours easy. No ripples, pattern stayed straight, I was dead wrong. Anybody else stubbornly avoid a tool and then feel dumb after?

Honestly, I feel that. I fought using a laser level for way too long because I thought my bubble level was good enough. Felt like a real dummy the first time I used one.

I fought using a power stretcher on stairs too, kinda like what graytores said about the laser level. My buddy spent half a day re-doing a stair job cause he refused to try the stair attachment and ended up with wrinkles everywhere.
