Troops Enjoy Their Bench Cookies

Staff Sergeant Frank Hendrickson, a Marine currently based in Afghanistan, has come up with some new uses for Rockler's Bench Cookies - in the metal shop and in the composite shop!

SSgt. Hendrickson wrote us saying, "I think that your Bench Cookies, although made for woodworking, would work on our composites that we work on. It would definitely take away the need for a second pair of hands to hold the piece of gear while the other grinds away at it."

We shipped some Bench Cookies to SSgt. Hendrickson's unit, and he sent us back some pictures of the Marines in his division using them in the shop... and snacking on them too! (Oh, those goofy guys....)

Like many other people we've heard from, SSgt. Hendrickson and the Marines in his division found new ways to use Bench Cookies - they're definitely not just for woodworking! As someone here in the office said (with tongue in cheek!), "Is there anything the Cookies can't do? Now they're helping to fight the war on terror!" Well, we're proud to support our Troops!

Way to go, Rockler! Good looking out for our troops. I bought my first set of cookies yesterday and can not believe the holding power! I set one down on my bench and pushed on it with all I had with no movement. Awesome!

Bench cookies are pretty awesome. I have used them to hold a piece in place whilst I sand it, and it holds great. Also I used one as a clamp pad essentially, to go between the clamp jaw and the piece that had a finish on it when I cut a rebate into the bottom of a wide shelf to form legs. Worked great!
