Microjig Gripper 100

If you use a table saw, router etc then this is a must purchase. This product is very well made and easy to put together. it allows the work to be pushed though the cutting tool with little to no risk of kick back (table saw). Obviously this isn't fool proof and normal safe working practices should be adopted. This is better than any other push stick device I have used. There are lots of you tube videos showing the uses of this device and many makers use them everyday. Yes its at a high price point but I think its worth the money given the control and safe operation you get with its use. Look youtube to see it in action and make you decision. I don't think you will regret it. But be safe with any cutting machine you use. Here ends the lecture!

Undoubtedly the best push block out there in terms of effectiveness and design. But by god is it pricey for a few bits of 3D Printed plastic and rubber pads. The design allows you to open the block up to let the blade pass under (if on a saw) which is helpful and safe. The rubber feet pads give good resistance when pushing stock through allowing for pressure forward and against the fence at the same time. Which is what is so good about it. I have two now but buying each ome made me flinch at the price. Could be cheaper but then why would the company reduce the price if they sell as well as they do?

This is a very useful tool which, if used correctly, makes using large workshop tools (table saw, table router, jointer, etc.) LESS dangerous - they will always be dangerous. It is well made and functions very well. However it is very expensive for what it is and particularly if you want any of the upgrades or need two of them. There are alternatives that can be made from scrap wood which appear to be effective (see Steve Ramsey on a certain video streamer - unfortunately I saw it after buying my gripper).

Excellent product. I have been longing for one (and maybe two) of these for some time. Having had a push stick shatter when it hit a high speed router cutter, I decide that it was time. I do not regret it. Well made, easily assembled and adjusted, and far safer than any sort of push stick. Anyone with a tablesaw who does not have one or even two of these is playing russian roulette with their finger.

Typical American Tooling, expensive , but very good quality.

easy assembly sturdy and good enough i plan to buy the upgrade kit

They're right, every table saw owner should have one, but why on earth is it so expensive? This is a ridiculous price for a bit of plastic and some screws I wasn't sure if this should be 3 stars or 4 because of the price, but in the end I think its 3 because this is over priced. It should be £30 maximum and could probably be cheaper again. The good sides? It's a very well designed bit of kit. They've really tried to give this a quality feel. For example, all three screws come with little rubber retainer washers so the screws don't fall out when you take it apart. The manual is printed well and is full of tips. The best part? It really does improve your cuts. It's significantly easier to use then a push stick and provides even grip and pushing force against the wood. Unfortunately you pay a premium for this quality because they've managed to corner the market, and no one makes an item quite like this.

I had been pondering whether or not to buy one of these for a while now, as I was concerned it was a little overpriced. Having finally taken the plunge though, I am very happy with my purchase. I can now use my table saw much more safely and make consistent reliable passes, securely holding the material. I would recommend this to anyone who knows (like I did) that they could be using their table saw more safely.
