I switched from a standard knee kicker to a power stretcher for a 400 sq ft job in Phoenix last month.
The difference in tension after a week was night and day, no puckering at all. Anyone else find the old method just doesn't hold up in dry heat?

Yeah, my old knee kicker would just surrender to the Arizona sun!

Actually think the main issue is humidity, not just heat. Dry air lets carpet fibers relax way faster. A power stretcher just locks in more tension to fight that.

Totally agree about humidity. Saw a job last summer where a brand new install went slack in two days because the AC died and the house turned into a swamp. That power stretcher tension is the only thing holding the line against the weather.
