Better than what I had but not as advertised

Love the size and feel of these gummies. They work better than other print blocks I've used. Green pads need frequent cleaning to maintain traction. In smart hooks, three out of eight developed brain damage and dropped out. You will not stay. Off-Topic: Why on earth is Revane asking me to rate her "transparency"? Yes Revane, thanks for asking, these power tool pressure blocks are amazingly transparent. Unfortunately, my wife refuses to try them on.

Gravity Heel/Smart Hook Great Features: Quality, durable construction

Gravity Heel/Smart Hook works better and more useful than I expected. The firm heel gets in the way when you want to push off flat on the board, with this push block the heel is there when you need to push forward and the heel disappears when you need to push off. Great feature, I'll get another one. Added gravity accessory heels to other MJ blocks. MJ makes well designed and quality accessories that are expensive but of the highest quality.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Incredible functionality and security!

I've been using the standard original GRR-RIPPER on my table saw for a number of years and consider them the most important tools in my workshop for efficiency and safety reasons. When I saw them I thought they would be just as good for a jointer and for specific feeds on a table saw and other tools. They are even better than expected - way better than standard pushers! The green gripping surface is very secure, but the drop down features can be of great help in pushing the board safely through

Ignore Table Saw Accessories

In short, they're better than the free pressure blocks that come with jointing or table saws (we all know those foam-bottomed plastic blocks that fall apart). after the first week), but I don't see any hype about it. Here are some observations: The handles that go down to hold the wood as I push it through the joint keep popping out causing me to lose my grip. An easy way to fix them would make a world of difference. It's also potentially dangerous. The padding on the bottom seems to be holding

upset. in Accessories

I bought a pair of these to complement my current set of pushers. Since I use a shorter bed plane, tail hooks were important to me so I could better control the end of the piece before it hit the bed. The first thing that struck me when I opened the package was the size and weight. Really enough. reliable feeling. However, after three days of use, that's about the only good thing I've found about them. happens. The new rubber grips do not hold the work well on the jointer. I've been runningโ€ฆ
