Broke my back at the shipping dock until I found a $5 trick for lifting boxes

I work at a warehouse in Tulsa and spent 6 months moving heavy boxes the hard way. Then I noticed a guy at my job using a simple webbing strap with a handle to grab boxes off high shelves. I got one for $5 at a hardware store near 11th street and it saved my shoulders completely. Now I use it every shift and my lower back doesn't ache anymore. Has anyone else found a cheap tool that saved your body at work?

Heard a guy at my gym use a similar strap for deadlifts.

Pulling straps are a game changer for grip.
