That time I laughed at a guy for using a bull float with a handle extender

About six years ago, I watched a concrete finisher use a bull float with a 12 foot handle extender on a small driveway pour. I thought he was just being lazy or showing off. But after my third pour of the season left me with a sore lower back and uneven surface, I tried his method. It actually gave me way better reach and let me keep a consistent angle across the slab. Have any of you guys had a tool trick that looked silly but actually worked?

oh man i told my buddy about that trick and he was like "no way that works" but then he tried it last summer on his parent's patio. said it totally saved his back and the finish came out way more even. guess some stuff just looks dumber than it actually is lol

Yeah it's wild how often the janky looking fix ends up working better than the fancy one.
