Welcome to the video where we grip test our Gecko Bloc to failure in order to give people a good understanding of the capability of our Gecko Blocs when it comes to stabilizing your work piece for sanding.
Stability while sanding is a fundamental requirement for Gecko Blocs and this is why we thought we should cover this topic with a video test. It is likely to be most important for those people working on very light and small woodworking projects to get an understanding of whether the Gecko Blocs will provide the kind of value you are looking for.
We always strive to explain as well as possible who is likely to see the best value and benefit the most from what we produce, hopefully this is a helpful video for anyone looking to choose our products.
