So often it is the simple little
products that are introduced to the marketplace, and they get over shadowed
by the larger manufacturers' new products.
The Gorilla Gripper could easily fall into that category. But it
shouldn't

The package wrap pretty well shows how
the Gorilla Gripper is to be used. My only question is does it grip panels
of white melamine. They are heavy and slippery and will be a good test of
this product.

"Muscles Elena" slips the Gorilla
Gripper over s piece of white melamine particle core board and easily picks
up the piece. A full sheet weighs about 85# and not only is it heavy,
but it is hard to get a hold of. For one person, it is difficult. With the
Gorilla Gripper it is manageable. It took no work to slip it over the
panel. Once positioned where you want it, you simply lift up and the gripper
tightens on the heavy panel.

We also have a couple of sheets of
Finnform which is a Baltic birch sheet of high quality plywood that is
coated on both sides with phenolic resin. We store it on the panel cart and
often have to move it out of the way so we can access the white
melamine.
It is heavy and slippery and hard to get mechanical advantage. The
Gorilla Gripper makes moving it very easy.

So you are asking yourself, does Elena
do all the heavy lifting? Answer: yupp...but I did get the Gorilla Gripper
to make her job easier.
And if you want to make your job easier, get a Gorilla Gripper.

In the company's four minute
infomercial, many, many real applications are shown using the Gorilla
Gripper. It is a very instructive and convincing video. The URL for their
website is below. The price for this clever product is $50 — way cheaper
than even one visit to the back doctor. In my book, it makes sense, even
when I have Elena to do all the lifting.
