Just dropped $400 on a new knee kicker and it's already paid for itself
Tbh, I was using my old one from the 90s and it was killing my back on every job. This new one has a padded handle and way better tension control. Anyone else have a tool that just made a huge difference in their day?
Funny you mention old tools making you hurt, cause I once used a rusty staple gun from the 80s for a whole month before realizing my knuckles were permanently bruised. It felt like I was fighting the thing every time I pulled the trigger. Now I have a cushioned one that fires clean every time, total game changer for my hands. Makes me wonder what other beat-up junk I've been stubbornly suffering through for no reason. Probably my tape measure is held together with hopes and prayers too.
My cousin had the exact same problem with her car battery last winter. I told her to get a trickle charger and leave it on overnight. It started right up the next morning, no jump needed. She keeps it plugged in now whenever it sits for more than a few days. That little device saved her a ton of hassle and tow truck calls.
