    I would say you are well prepared. Will they run you through your house to get the rest of your stuff when you get your truck?

    Do they make a big difference? I've never used one, though sometimes i've had to hook the release with a chain to gain leverage.....

    ya i dont have to bend over or reach if i have it, also the handle gives you something to yank on while your back is straight so you dont hurt your back, you would seriouly hurt yourself doing that by hand.
