Landon Innovations Inc. - Gorilla Gripper Sheet Goods Carrier
Gripper helps you carry sheet goods from 3/8 in. to 11/8 in. thick
Nov 01, 2007
A full-size sheet of plywood or other sheet good is both heavy and unwieldy, so it can be a bear to move around. The Gorilla Gripper makes that task considerably easier.
To use it, slip the jaws of the Gripper over the top edge of the plywood at midpoint along the length. Then bend your knees, lock your arm vertically, and lift by straightening your legs. The Gorilla Gripper lets you carry the load with minimum strain on arms, shoulders, back, and legs.
The Gorilla Gripper works on sheet goods from 3/8 in. to 11/8 in. thick. It sells for $50 (www.gorillagripper.com).

Sawstop Miter Gauge
It has a toothed angle-setting rack that is extremely solid, accurate, and easy to use, and it offers all of the features I love in a miter gauge, including the ability to add an auxiliary wood fence, and a flip-stop that will accommodate it.
Double Sided Tape
A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
