Absolutely worth it. But you want to get the 2-handed version instead, with which it will be easier to turn over instead. https://www.amazon.com/LoTech-Compost-Crank-Aerator/dp/B00JHRH7EE/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Lotech+Products+LLC&qid=1569382741&s=gateway&sr=8-6
This year I used this for the cover crop seed: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07NBTV4TZ/
There are several different ones on Amazon - they're all pretty similar. I'm in zone 7 in the Northeast US.
I do both an outdoor compost bin and an indoor vermicompost bin. Have found these very helpful:

Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System
you say you're storing it, where does it go after storage?
I keep my compost in a repurposed asparagus steamer under my sink, stuff stays there for a couple of weeks sometimes before I take it out and it's fine. I line the bottom with half of a cardboard egg carton to absorb the liquid. They also make special containers for this with super heavy lids to contain odors like this but I rarely have issues with odors even living in a hot climate. There are fulling self contained small compost bins for indoors like theis
Even simpler than palettes is to just use a slightly more durable version of “chicken wire,” like this:

Just cut off 10 feet of it and stand it up in a circle. Boom. You have a 3-foot cylinder. Sew up the ends with a zip ties or wire and that’s all you need to do. Even better, when it’s time to turn the pile you just undo your ties and peel the metal cloth away. Your pile will stick together in place. Set up your cylinder right next to it and shovel it all in. This works so much better than an uncontained pile on the ground, due to the low angle of repose that finished compost has.

I got this shredder for my compost adventures. It handles pizza box / shipping box thickness, wouldn't do well with anything thicker, though.
I have one very similar to this:
https://www.amazon.com/Gardeners-Supply-Company-Recycled-Plastic/dp/B00J33B15I
and when I first got it, I found that it stayed too wet because there were no drain holes. The water just stayed there and it got soupy. I drilled a bunch of holes to provide drainage and it works a lot better.
Meh. I'd never get that, let alone pay $280 for it. If I were to splurge on composting, I'd get a good reliable paper shredder. All you need is a 10Gal bin with lid and a saucer to collect leachate if space is limited...

Fits on top of a five gallon bucket. I just have a small tumbler so I don't have to use it for a whole lot. It's probably not ideal if you have a bigger pile but I've seen a few bigger DIY versions on YouTube that do basically the same thing.
We have been using this, we buy new carbon filters every few months, works great and no smells

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/REOTEMP-FG20P-Backyard-Compost-Thermometer/dp/B002P5RGMI
The only real way of keeping it is to get a cheap air pump (http://www.amazon.com/Tetra-77851-Whisper-Pump-10-Gallon/dp/B0009YJ4N6/ref=zg_bs_2975471011_1) an constantly have it running in the bucket.
Here you go.
