Gator Grip Safety Push Block 2 Pack with Blue Rubber Podular Pattern for Woodworking Tools

The Gator Grip Push Blocks redefine gripping power, offering superior control compared to traditional foam push blocks. Lined with a blue, podular patterned rubber pad, these push blocks excel at providing consistent traction while feeding stock through workshop machinery.

Unlike foam push blocks, which can become slippery and wear out over time, the Gator Grip's unique pad design allows dust and debris to fall between the pods, maintaining excellent grip on a variety of materials, including wood, composite, metal, and resin. The firm yet receptive rubber material grips the stock better than standard foam, making it easier to guide the workpiece through jointers, router tables, shapers, and band saws.

One of the most common uses for push blocks is to assist in feeding stock through a jointer. Many jointer manufacturers include basic foam push blocks with their machines, but the Gator Grip offers superior performance. Two Gator Grip Push Blocks provide ample gripping power to confidently push even longer stock pieces through the jointer cutters.

When performing freehand router work, controlling the stock and keeping fingers safely away from the spinning bit is crucial. The Gator Grip Push Blocks excel at this task, allowing the user to maintain firm control of the workpiece with both hands while keeping them a safe distance from the router bit.

Re-sawing on a band saw is another application where the Gator Grip Push Blocks shine. Their gripping power enables even and controlled pressure to be applied to the stock, whether short or long pieces, in the vertical position.

Maintaining the Gator Grip Push Blocks is a straightforward process. The blue rubber pads can be quickly and easily cleaned with warm water and a dry cloth, ensuring optimal traction is restored after each use.

With a 6-3/8" long by 3-1/4" wide base, these push blocks provide ample gripping surface for both large and small stock. The comfort-grip, molded handle is ergonomically angled to reduce strain when applying downward and inward pressure, making them more comfortable to use than standard straight-handled push blocks.

While old foam push blocks may have served a purpose in the past, the Gator Grip Push Blocks represent a significant improvement in gripping power, control, and longevity. Their unique design and superior performance make them an essential addition to any woodworker's toolkit.
