Old timer told me to trash my power stretcher for a knee kicker on stairs. I shoulda listened.

Guy named Pete with 30 years in the trade told me to use a knee kicker for winding stairs on a $2,800 job in Cleveland. I thought he was crazy, so I dragged my power stretcher up there and it took me 4 hours extra trying to get it to seat right. Ended up ripping the carpet in three spots and had to order a new piece for $180. Next time I tried the knee kicker like he said and it took half the time with zero issues. Anyone else here stubborn like me and refuse to switch methods on stairs?
