Hit 1,000 wheel trues and my hands finally told me why the old guys use a stand

I tallied up my service log from the past 14 months at the co-op and it came to exactly 1,012 wheels trued, mostly on a cheap Park stand with the same worn spoke wrench. My right thumb is shot and I keep catching myself gripping the wrench way too hard on the last quarter turn. Did it take you guys this long to figure out a decent tension gauge was worth it?
