Gorilla Gripper - the Handyman's Best Friend!

Anyone who has worked with materials such as plywood, wallboard, or melamine knows that lifting and safely transporting these materials can be difficult at best. At worst, it physically strains your body and you run the risk of potentially dropping or marring expensive building materials. In the case of materials like glass, granite or marble, it can be difficult to grasp these heavy sheet goods without risking potential injury. Fortunately, there is an inexpensive hand tool on the market that can solve all these potential complications for you.

The Gorilla Gripper, like all useful tools, is a model of simplicity and ingenuity. Instead of straining your hands, arms, or chest, you can simply slip the Gorilla Gripper over any panels between 3/8" - 1 1/8" and lift. As you lift the handle, the gripping plates pivot parallel to the surface; moving together to grip the panel tightly. Just lift with your arm bent fully at the elbow and hold the Gorilla Gripper at shoulder's height, and you'll be amazed at how easily you can lift the heaviest sheet goods. Thanks to its unique design, the Gorilla Gripper actually tightens according to the material's weight. The Gorilla Gripper is even suitable for furniture grade wood thanks to the rubber gripping pads that protect against marring most materials. With a bit of caution, any fine wood or finished material can be safely transported with the Gorilla Gripper. The Gorilla Gripper enables you to lift most types of material that are otherwise impractical to carry by yourself.

The Gorilla Gripper is only available in select retail outlets, but largely available online. You can purchase the Gorilla Gripper directly from the manufacturer at www.gorillagripper.com and through www.mcfeelys.com or www.amazon.com.

But, the best buy I've found on the Gorilla Gripper is on eBay. An authorized reseller has a website set-up, complete with a great demonstration video, at www.gorillagrippersales.com. While this method of purchase does require an eBay and Paypal account, I've found customer response time and shipping to be incredibly efficient. A look at the seller's feedback was all I needed to feel assured that I was buying from a competent and reputable source. According to my communications with gorilla_gripper_sales on eBay, all Gorilla Grippers ship directly from the manufacturer, however they come with the seller's personal guarantee of satisfaction as well as direct support for shipping and user-related questions. There is even FAQ on the website for pre-purchase decisions. For my money, it was the best one on one communication I've experienced and a nice way to save a couple of dollars in the process.
