Knee kicker broke mid job yesterday, had to improvise with a rubber mallet and a 2x4
Ngl I was about 60% through a 12x15 bedroom in a house out in Oakdale when my knee kicker just snapped right at the adjustment screw. Customer was home and I didn't have a spare in the truck. Ended up grabbing a scrap 2x4 and using a rubber mallet to tap the carpet tight along the walls, then switched to my power stretcher for the long runs. It took me an extra 45 minutes and my back still hurts today. Anyone else ever have a tool fail on a job and have to MacGyver something together?

How'd you explain the noise to the customer?

Just told them I was testing out my new "quiet hammers" ericp67. Spoiler: they don't work.
