He usado muy poco el gripper, pero las sensaciones son muy buenas. Muy seguro y versátil para una diversidad de situaciones al cortar en la sierra. Viene desensamblado, y para armarlo, te recomiendo que lo hagas con mucho cuidado y siguiendo los pasos del manual. Un aspecto que me llamó la atención cuando lo ensamblé fue la calidad del manual y las instrucciones para armarlo. El documento está impreso en papel de muy buena calidad y los dibujos y pasos están a color, muy precisos y descriptivos; super profesional el diseño. Ya no se ven manuales así; la mayoría de los equipos que compro, incluso los de buenas marcas, ya solo imprimen un manual en blanco y negro en formato muy pequeño donde las figuras apenas se aprecian y no puedes ver los detalles que te describen las instrucciones. A veces ni la versión electrónica del manual sirve para eso. El manual de este gripper es lo mejor que he visto en ese rubro. Ya solo por eso tengo una opinión favorable del producto y la compañía.

Excellent price, easy to assemble and use. Makes using a table saw so much safer

Well worth the money.

Produkt wie beschrieben.

What every woodworker needs or would use if someone gifted them. Excellent safety and accuracy device.

Estoy muy satisfecho.Muy buen material.Entrega muy rápida en 2 días.

very safe to use

This is ridiculously well made. Even the quality of the manual is awesome. It just looks and feels like quality all the way through. I do not generally write reviews, but I was so impressed to see something made in the USA of the quality that everything used to be when I was growing up (you know, just after they got rid of dinosaurs) that I had to write. If nothing else, I want to see the guys who came up with this be super successful.I have been running a table saw since I was a teen. Had all kinds. Took the safety guards off every one of them and threw them away.I have also used everything imaginable as a push stick, and every time I fire up the saw I am hoping I don't lose a finger or get kicked in the head by a stray board.Long story short, had a friend lose the tip of his finger last Fall to a 10" monster. I was researching various safety push devices when I came across this one. I got him this for Christmas. After watching the video and seeing the quality, I bought several more for relatives and friends who woodwork or remodel. Then I got one for myself! Merry Christmas Me!Works as advertised. Is incredible ingenious, and, I cannot get over how well made this thing is.Maybe one day they will ship the plans over the China to save money and the thing will be a piece of crap and get knocked off 50 times in succession, but I truly hope not.If you run a saw you understand everything I've written here so BUY IT. If you don't know jack diddly about woodworking but have a loved one who does - BUY IT. You will not be disappointed.Happy woodworking.

I am a occasional user of those lethal weapons called power tools. As a result I must "relearn" their use each time that I use them. I especially have a major concern over the use of my table saw since being made aware that a successful orthopedic surgeon acquaintance, and experienced wood worker, sliced off the tips of his forefinger and middle finger using his table saw, thus effectively ending his career. So when I encountered these GRR-Ripper push blocks on Amazon, and after reading positive posts on their design and construction, I figured that it was a no brainer to purchase them. I agree that they are overly expensive; but then again, they are about 1/10th the cost of an emergency room visit. These blocks are well constructed-- takes me back to a time when ALL tools were well constructed and not made of cheap steel or flimsy plastic! I suppose that there are viable alternatives to this product-- push sticks, or long blocks of wood-- I have read the posts of proponents of these methods. It seems that most of these alternatives are suggested by experience wood workers who have their own "pet" way of doing things and are quite good at what they do. But I feel that safety should never be compromised by procedures or use of tools that aren't the most safe ones available, especially by novice users. Accidents with power tools are just like wipeouts on a motorcycle-- its not "if" its going to happen, its just a matter of "when" its going to happen. I think that these push blocks add a major factor of safety factor to this dangerous hobby.

If you use a table saw, router or jointer these are an invaluable safety addition to anyone's workshop. They are easy to put together and easy to use. The control over your workpiece is significantly enhanced over a simple push stick, as is the peace of mind that there is now a large amount of protective material between a rapidly rotating piece of metal and your hands and fingers.I use a pair of these on a Bosch 4100-09 Table Saw and they work great! I am building a redwood potting shed for my wife and cut a number of boards this weekend. It took a couple of tentative cuts before I became comfortable with the necessary technique to get the most benefit and safety from these tools.I have a Bosch 1617EVS mounted in a Bosch RA1171 table and I have yet to try them, but I can foresee that I am going to have to either use featherboards or these, as well as remove the clear plastic bit finger guard.I HIGHLY recoomend these to everyone who works with table saw, routers, band saws and more.In response to one of the questions asked above: I believe that the question is specifically asking if the package includes the Micro Jig GRHB-010 GRR-Ripper Handle Bridge Kit as shown in one of the sample pictures. I just received my Gripper(TM) Deluxe package yesterday and it _does not_ have the Micro Jig GRHB-010 GRR-Ripper Handle Bridge Kit.UPDATE 15Sep16: I am building custom red oak wall and base cabinets for my den, both of which have doors with a top 4-inch rail which is arched. I am using the Yonico 12238 Rail and Stile Router Bits to create the rails and stiles. I succeeded in creating the rails and stiles for 11 wall cabinets doors; the stiles and bottom rails were easily routed using my Bosch 1617EVS router mounted in a Bosch RA1171 Router table, and four Kreg PRS3020 True-FLEX Featherboard (2 horizontal on the table and 2 vertical on the fence). Those parts came out beautifully; perfect routs with no sniping or burning. However, when I went to freehand rout the arched top rails, two top arch rails literally got away from me (flying at least 20 down the driveway...red oak has good hang time :) ), despite taking several shallow passes. After the second one got away from me (both top rail arches were ruined beyond repair), and after applying a band-aid to a badly scraped knuckle, I started to ponder how I was going to SAFELY rout these arched top rails. After much thought, I decided to use my GRR-RIPPER.I have the GRR-RIPPER Deluxe package, the GRGH-040 GRR-Ripper Gravity Heel Accessory, and a single Gripper 100 Upgrade Kit (although I could seriously use at least three more of these for various purposes). I normally use these on my Bosch 4100-09 Table Saw, and they perform amazingly.I rearranged various the components of the GRR-RIPPER to:1) Maximize contact of the rubber feet to the workpiece without contacting the router bit.This was achieved by moving the wide sliding piece towards the workpiece edge that I was going to rout, and using the large, flat piece with the hook (hereafter refered to as "stabilizing plate" from the Gripper 100 Upgrade Kit to brace the left side of the workpiece.2) Ensure that I had forward feed at all times for the workpiece compared to the angle at which I was approaching the router bitAgain the hook from the Gripper 100 Upgrade Kit "stabilizing plate" was helpful, but I had to be sure that the rotation of the router bit did not cause the workpiece to twist out from underneath the GRR-RIPPER, so I disassembled one of the GRGH-040 GRR-Ripper Gravity Heels, removed the small piece that slides on to the GRR-Ripper, turned around the Heel and attached it directly to the GRR-RIPPER. This aligned it more precisiely with the hook on the "stabilizing plate" and provided more support closer to the router bit.3) Ensure stability of the GRR-RIPPER on the workpiece as well as the router tableMaking sure everything was the same height while maintaining contact with the workpiece was easy due to a well-engineered product.4) SAFETY!I had to be certain that that I wasn't going to lose any more skin or blood, and I didn't want to waste any more wood with damaged pieces. It was critical that I maintained forward control while making a curved rout, without the workpiece twisting, slipping or flying away at high velocity, as well as maintaining all my digits.I assembled all of the pieces as described (see photos 1 - 3), donned my goggles and hearing protection, and nervously prepared to make my cut. Taking a deep breath, I powered on the router and began the first shallow pass...success! There was not one indication of movement of the workpiece other than how I wanted it to move. A couple more shallow cuts before the final pass resulted in a perfectly routed top rail (see photo 4...already glued up in the door, sanded, masked and ready for ruby shellac). The next ten pieces took less time than the first and involved _a_lot_ less anxiety on my part.Once again, the folks at Micro Jig have come through, proving that their product works on table saws, routers, band saws and more. The GRR-RIPPER and all of its accessories are invaluable safety additions to any shop, are amazingly flexible in terms of application, and add amazing value and safety to every project.Thank you Micro Jig for making my hobby safer!
