Spent $180 on a really nice knee kicker and it saved my back after 2 weeks

I always used the cheapo $40 ones from the hardware store and just dealt with the pain. Finally grabbed a Crain 600 after my buddy let me test his on a job. That extra reach and the padded head make such a difference. I do more stairs now and it's way easier on the knees. Anyone else find the expensive tools actually pay off quick or am I just getting old?

Hold up, is the Crain 600 the one with the big padded bumper? I thought that was the 660 model or something. The 600 is the standard one without the big kneepad on the head. But I get what you mean, the quality difference is night and day. I had a cheap one snap on me mid stretch once, almost went straight through a window. The heavier base on the higher end ones keeps it planted way better.

Is it crazy how much difference a good tool makes though? I picked up a higher end trim puller last year and felt stupid for all the years I fought with the cheap one.
