Tried a seam roller with a longer handle on a commercial job in Chicago last month

Had this huge open office floor to do and my regular roller was killing my back after the first hour. That extra 6 inches of reach made a world of difference for keeping pressure even across the seams without crawling around. Anybody else modify their tools for bigger rooms?

... and I just taped a broom handle to mine. Not the prettiest fix, but it saved me from hunching over for two days straight. Honestly, even just those extra few inches changes your whole body position. You end up with way less strain in your lower back. It's one of those simple tricks that feels dumb until you actually try it.

Ha, @carter.hugo that broom handle hack sounds janky but I bet it works fine. Did you notice the extra length messing with your balance at all or was it pretty smooth once you got used to it?
