Does anyone here use suction cups ? I cant seem to find any that work. I know the surface must be flat. Thanks:thumbsup:

I like them. I use a yellow pair that costs maybe $25. They are just OK.

But I think spending for a better pair is worthwhile. And you could use the better pair for mirror removal if you come across that issue.

I use Festool Geckos Only because I had a pair and I needed a good set for some 20x20"s that I was working on. I will say that after using them for tile they are worth the $60 or so for that application.

Cr Laurence are the best, it's what glass setters use

Woods power grips.

Yeah that's them, I thought cr Laurence made them, I got 3 of them, they only work on smooth surfaces, I tried recently to attach to something a little rough and it wouldn't grip.

I guess we should ask what application the OP wants to use them for. Power grips are awesome for carrying glass but would be a bad choice for setting large format tile as they take way too much time to lock down and the thin sealing rings would become easily damaged with mortar.

They pick up slabs of granite and marble as well, but yes, always more detail is better, if I have a problem I would give as much detail as possible, otherwise the wrong advice would be given .

I have a few cheap single cups, I think they're Raimondi - work pretty good on smaller stuff. I have a handful of some four cup sets that I picked up at harbor freight of all places that work surprisingly well. Set 24"marble with them and maybe had maybe two or three slips on a 1700+' job. I love suction cups. Use them for everything from layout to back buttering.

We've been having a TON of success with these

The square base makes it easy to engage with one hand, so it gives you the ability to easily use 2 for large material. It does have a foam ring on it that allows it to be used on textured material. 110 lbs lifting capacity per cup. Definitely not bad for the price!

Those look cool Steve. I may have to have you send a pair or two.
