If you haven't heard about Rockler Bench Cookie™ Work Grippers yet, well, I hate to say "Where have you been?" but... where have you been? Bench Cookie™ Work Grippers are the hottest new accessory to hit the workshop since - I don't know when!

Bench Cookie™ Work Grippers are unique hockey-puck-sized non-slip discs that grip and elevate projects, holding them in place -- without clamps -- for safe and easy routing, sanding, finishing and more. Steve Krohmer, Rockler's Vice President of Product Development explains, "They keep your project from slipping; they give you complete access to its edges; they're completely non-marring and require virtually zero set up."

Bench Cookie™ Work Grippers were "the biggest news" at the AWFS Show in Las Vegas last month, according to Fine Woodworking, and have had nothing but favorable write-ups all over the web since then. Haven't seen the reviews yet? Allow me to quote from a few!

Marc Spagnuolo, The Wood Whisperer: "Bench Cookies are AWESOME!" [Talking about a video test where he tried to shake a board off some Bench Cookies]: "That table would've fallen over before the board came off. Very cool!" - and - "It's not often that I get to recommend something that's useful, effective AND cheap! So I wanted to make sure you all knew about Rockler's Bench Cookies."

Rick Waters, Splintered Board podcast: [Conclusion to his video review]: "I really tried to get [the board] to move - I tried everything... and it still held. I fully trust Rockler's Bench Cookies to keep your pieces right where they're supposed to be."

Ralph Bagnall, ConsultingWoodworker.com: "Rockler... you have a hit on your hands!" - and - "Many have asked about sawdust on the Cookies. My video shows them in extreme conditions."

Here's Ralph's video. Check it out for yourself. At just $11.99, we think you'll agree that Bench Cookie™ Work Grippers are a must-have for your shop!

When the sawdust and shavings were placed under and over cookies and then the board placed on them and sanded with the board staying firmly in place, I flipped for the second time while viewing this video. These "Bench Cookies" will provide a wonderful assist to any woodworker's project. But what is the secret to their holding power?

It's the high-friction, non-marring rubber pads, Terry! (And if we told you any more than that, we'd have to ... well, you know.) ;-)

Wondering if you just score both sides of a hockey puck and you'd get the same grip and results???
