    Ahh. My dad was briefly in the trade in the 70s/80s and still has the tools (kicker included) from the era.

    Watched him install a carpet once as a kid (as DIY, not a job…he had long moved on since then) and I couldn’t believe people could put that much trauma on their knees day in/day out for decades. Then a few years ago he installed another and just decided to rent the damn power stretcher. World of difference, he said.
