GRR-RIPPER Complete Double Pack Limited Addition by MICROJIG

Gotta love the product and its safety/function, but for $250 a pair for the deluxe you would think it came assembled. Let alone all of the wasted plastic as each module is packed in separatly.

This kit is on the very high end of price, but short of buying a Sawstop tablesaw, this is the single best piece of safety equipment you can buy. More solid and confidence inducing than push blocks, and less finicky than feather boards. All of the components feel like quality phenolic; its a heavier, more durable plastic. Theres a box full of components, and I found the video on the companys website to be handy, though the written instructions were enough. The varied adjustments mean that you can dial in the way youre grabbing the workpiece with these, even with thin or tiny pieces. The resulting grip actually gives me smoother cuts and less burns, (while keeping my fingers attached to the rest of me).

These are great tools. After purchasing/using 1 for months, I decided to purchase this set of 2. Granted this set up comes with all the additional pieces the single tool doesn’t, still great tools. Used heavily for building cabinets, doors, French cleats, stiles & rails, shelving.

Assembly takes about an hour. I know this bc he who said he couldnt be bothered playing with this on his one day off, immediately tore into it like a kid on Christmas. I left for work and was updated on his progress via text. So you should know, if youre the kind of person who thinks you can figure something out, without all those pesky pieces of paper, you may think youre missing parts. Youre not. There is an addendum piece of paper to the original instructions, using new joining pieces that make assembly a breeze with all the right parts. For something so simple, it surprisingly should be a safety staple with every table saw. If youre in the business, you inevitably have heard a horrifying table saw story. This plastic handle is quite easy to grip, giving control, without sacrificing razor close cuts. Didnt think there would be a need for the 2 identical sets that come with this pack but one immediately found a home in the garage work station & the other in the truck to travel to the jobsite. All the pieces are individually packaged like you pulled them off a retail shelf & arrive in one large labeled box. Hes a carpenter and has a completely rational brain so while Tools make his eyes light up, unproven new gadgets rarely make an impression. His direct quote after trying out the Micro Jig GGG-RIPPER was This (Thing) is Dope, only he didnt say Thing but, as this is not a jobsite, I can not use his colorful language, if you know what I mean. But if youre wondering if this is worth the hearty price tag, I guess it depends what your fingers are worth to you It was worth it to the man, who is slowly investing in Festool to have the best.

I love that my husband has these for improved safety when using his table saw. It really seems helpful in cutting down kickbacks and protecting his hands. Seems to offer increased control of a wide variety of woods and other materials. Well worth the cost to prevent saw related injuries!!!!

What’s not to like? They do exactly what I bought them for...to give me complete control of the piece I’m cutting and keep my fingers in tact. Great product so far.

I am a woodworker and I love my table saw. No other tool is as versatile or as easy to use. A little maintenance and it can sit up and do tricks for you. A table saw can rip, cross cut. You can use a variety of blade included dado blades. You can cut at an angle to obtain perfect ovals in your wood. You can use it to slice wood a thousand ways, segmenting and layering. In short, a wood shop is only as good as its table saw. But for all the years Ive used a table saw, I am still nervous when using it. I know it will do its best to cut through everything, including me and I am the common element to every project that I work on. Ive never been cut on a table saw (I was cut on a jointer but thats a different tool.) A wood shop instructor will tell you the way to avoid cuts is to use with a push stick or table feed. I find the Grr-Ripper does the job of all these accessories and more and with a little planning, it works safely, effectively and will serve a variety of functions. The Grr-Ripper (have to get used to that name) holds down a piece to the table, while providing leverage to move the piece through and past the blade. It will prevent kickback and by aligning its channel with the blade, it will make sure that whatever the cut, it can accomodate it. my only problem with it (Ive owned a couple at this point) is that I needed two and I only ever owned one (thanks, friends, for borrowing them). This kit comes with two and I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Whatever the level of your saw, from a simple one blade to a versatile serious saw, the Grr-Ripper will make your cuts cleaner, safer and better. I give the Grr-Ripper my highest possible recommend, made only better by what is included with this specific kit. If you are considering, please proceed, I believe you will be both well pleased and well served by it.

The simple scrap wood stick of old has evolved into a complex set of configurable push-blocks. Used correctly this makes table saw projects safer and more precise. This is a nice addition to my home workshop.

Micro Jig GRR-RIPPERs are the best push blocks money can buy. Yes, theyre more expensive than cheap push blocks but are your fingers worth a few extra bucks? Thats not a joke, table saws are one of the most (potentially) dangerous tools in woodworking, and personally, I want to have the safest workflow I can possibly have. I now have 3 GRR-RIPPERs and set two them up for different cuts I commonly make (so I dont have to keep adjusting them) and have the third that I can customize to make other cuts as needed. If youre a woodworker and havent tried GRR-RIPPERs yet, you owe it to yourself to give them a shot. Theres a reason so many successful woodworkers use them. They make using the table saw much safer.
