Just saw this at our (brand new) local Lowe's store on Sunday. They were $30 here! Looks like a great helper!

 

[omgsideburns]

$38 on Amazon. Might have to get one for my home projects...

I've had one for a couple years- great for a old phart with arthritis in
his hands. Spent 35 years pulling wrenches and working on Corvettes-
my hands are shot. Can still type better than my daughter tho. I modified
mine for gripping 3mm dibond.

Great lookin' tool, but isn't that what employees are for ??

 

[SignManiac]

Gino I thought the same thing to myself. Only problem with employees is they break easily at the first sound of a sneeze

 

[Mike Paul]

Looks like another cool tool to misplace.

i'm pretty sure i remember seeing the two guys who invented the Gorilla Grip, years ago, on the tv show American Inventors!

did it really take this long for it to show up in stores?

I had three of those Juan, Chavo, and Nando...

My dad didn't need this - he had the Popeye look - forearms bigger than his upper arms.
After a few drinks we needed to be out of reach - he liked to show us kids just how strong his grip was.
At 76 he does not drink anymore but still has a pretty good grip.

I modified
mine for gripping 3mm dibond.

1. What did you do to modify it?
2. Unmodified, is it able to carry multiple sheets of dibond at once?

I'm thinking of getting one for my old man. He has a side job delivering sign supplies by himself.

Thanks for the post....I will be getting one for sure.

I added a .5 inch piece of rubber from an old floormat which conveniently
has semi-soft round 'bumps' for extra grip.
