Just found a trick for lining up tube sheets that saved my back

Been fighting with tube sheet alignment on a big project near Gary, IN. Tried using the overhead crane with straps but it kept swinging and I wasted like 2 hours. An old timer told me to use a come-along with a chain binder on one side to pull it square. Worked first try and I didn't have to bend over a hundred times. Anyone else got a go-to method for getting those sheets to sit right?

Wait hold on @craig.john I think you're mixing up tools there... a come-along pulls and a chain binder locks, two different things entirely. You definitely meant chain binder if you're squaring it up.

Come-along works fine but you meant chain binder, right?
