Joe, I think you mentioned that there is "no comparison" between gorilla grips and Omni-Cubed Seam-Setters. You are correct. The gorilla grips won't do to well on Solid Surface. The Seam-Setters work on both materials. Nice $$ savings to use one set on both!

Thanks for pointing that out.

Dave:

I have personally used Gorilla Grips to pull together solid surface seams with excellent results. I have personally used Gorilla Grips to pull together PLASTIC LAMINATE seams with excellent results.

If fabricators want spectacular engineered stone seams like mine [IMG]http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/Trebruchet/DSC02991.jpg[/IMG] they had better have CNC machined edges, Integra color-matched adhesives and Gorilla Grips. You ain't makin' these without 'em.

The four rods spanning the seam on the GG's provide eight points for deck flattening with cams. The Cubes provide four with thumbscrews. The law of levers makes the cams more powerful. One would have to purchase two sets of Cubes to get eight points which would be double the price of the Gorilla's.

Let's cut to the chase, Dave. You earn your living selling tools, I make mine using them. We'll let the readers decide who to believe. Gorilla Grip inventor Steve LeFebvre has taken a selective path to market, leaving you out. I appreciate your bringing fabricators more choices and I know you appreciate my bringing them more information.

Jon or Joe:

Can someone make my linked picture in the above post show up? I would fool with it but there is no preview or edit feature here. When you hit the "quote" button there is no end to the quote you are quoting so you end up posting in the quote you are quoting as I did above. Maybe you could fix that too.

If you get it fixed, you can delete this please.

Dave, what are you basing that statment on? I have about a thousand fabricators that will tell you different. The Gorillas work EXCELLENT on solid surface. The Gorilla can also flatten warped solid surface sheets along with crowned stone and estone, something no other seam setter can do.

Posting false or misleading information about another vendors products is also a violation of the terms of use of this board.

I use the gorilla grips on SS never a problem. I would also like everyone to know the ISSFA BB will not be a place to bash each other. If we see it it will be deleted.
 
ISSFA started  ten years ago as association to help Fabricators network in order to help each others companies grow. We still hold to those standards.

I have also used the gorilla grips on SS.  No problems.  I can't speak for anyone else's  tool; only because I haven't  tried them.  The fact is I like my Gorrilla grips and would recommend them to anyone.

I too agree with Jon when it comes to the use of the BB.
