Switched to tackless strips after hating them for 10 years

That commercial job last month where the concrete slab was so hard I broke 3 hammer tacker springs finally convinced me to try power stretcher and tackless strips and I cut my install time by 45 minutes on that 12x15 room, anybody else fight with glue-down before coming around?

Broke 3 springs" sounds like a NIGHTMARE, I've been there with a slab that ate my staples for lunch. I finally gave in and used a power stretcher with tackless strips on a similar job and it cut my time way down too. That glue-down fight is real, but once I switched I never looked back.

Wait, you broke 3 springs on one slab? That is insane, lmao. What kind of concrete was that, diamond-infused?
