Eric, thanks for the correction about the slogan. I have no idea where or when I read that or why I have always thought it was your slogan, sorry if I've caused any embarrassment, wasn't intended.

Glad to hear your owner takes personal interest in matters at this level, it says a lot. Hope to meet him someday.

Thanks Joe for your sincere words in your review that you posted earlier today. I'm glad TheEZGRip has made such a big difference for you. Your kind words have really made me smile. Ron

Ron, may I suggest that you take some of the profit from your newly-found fame and invest in some dental implants?

Frog, the baby picture is actually my sixth wife's daughters kid, I'm little older, my picture is below.

Seriously, Frog, put the two pictures next to each other and you have to admit, one can see a family resemblance!

The phenomenon of visually becoming more like a baby as one ages has been noted before, (along often with returning to the need for diapers)

Frog there's another phenomenon whereby owners and pets look alike. Some say my dog and I do, I call him Bright Eyes.

No more joking around, back to business.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We certainly are THANKFUL at TheEZGrip for everyone that has helped make us such a success in so little time.

It was on Fourth of July that we first introduced our product to the market by announcing it right here on The Shirt Board forum. Since we have developed a substantial dealer network, including 41 locations in the US, and we just shipped the first pallet to our new overseas master distributor, Market Screen Typographics, located on the island of Sardinia, off the coast of Italy, whose territory spans from The Netherlands to Albania and everywhere in between. 

Of course, TheEZGrip is the most ergonomically advanced squeegee made and with its exclusive Blade Friction Grip System that allows changing blades in seconds without the use of screws, it's no wonder the reception has been so wonderful.

We have many supportive dealers to thank for making this possible and some new ones that we'll be announcing on TBS, beginning with Nevertheless Screen Printing Supply, Mt. Morris, MI.

Nevertheless as some may know, is the maker of affordable screen press, notably, the Springer and Kicker.

My first screen press was a SPRINGER. These are great machines! They do the job and for the price, they can't be beat. Forget Chinese knock offs, made in USA is the only way.

It was on that very Springer press TheEZGrip squeegee was first developed over 2 years ago.

Please check out THENEVERTHELESS's website and their fine products including affordable screen printing presses,  flash dryers, (I have one & it never stops working, it's even been rained on several times and it still keeps ticking) plus a full line of supplies.

In fact, as part of Nevertheless's Black Friday special, TheEZGrip is being sold for $5.00 OFF, a 20% savings.   

They also make the coolest SKATEBOARD PRESSES; I've attached a few pictures.

I applaud Denny Reinhart, owner of Nevertheless, he's part of this new wave of young people that have done well in a short period of time.

Good luck Denny and the whole team at Nevertheless.

Finally, decided to buy one to try.
Printed with it for the first time yesterday. White ink on multiple color shirts, around 80 shirts .
I was surprised with the ease of use. Took me about 8-10 shirts to get used to it but after that, it was EZ.
The only thing that I wish it was a bit different, the handles get in the way of screen locking screws on my Antec Legend. I wish they were just 1" wider.
I'm a pusher, and when I go to flood the ink, the screws also get in the way of handles (Actually the pins) if the design is pretty big and have to use most of the screen. (Using 18x20" Newmans)

One question, is 14" handle actually bigger than the 13"? Or squeegee just hangs a bit?
I ordered 13" and I wish I got the 14" one.

Congrats on a good products.

[Nation03]

Yeah I'm running into the same issue on my Legend also, but overall its a pretty good product. I'm not sure if there is a 14" handle size. I think it's just a 13" handle that can fit a 14" blade and it hangs out a little on both sides.

I've noticed on longer runs, while I don't get as much hand/wrist pain, these do a number on my lower back. At the end of the day, it's still repeat motion.

Hi DKgrafix, glad you bought and like TheEZGrip. Your review was interesting and little confusing, could you please explain more about the pins and locking screws. I added a picture showing what I call the pins - support rods located at the far end of the handgrips.

Are you resting the pins on the locking screws? If so, what you're doing is not the recommend use for the tool. It was designed to be laid in the screen with the pins resting on the screen, as shown in the picture.

I know, this is totally different from what we are use to, but there are several benefits to this new method of printing: please watch the 35 second video by clicking on the link below, shows how to pull, push and flood.

TheEZGrip's method saves time because it's so quick to lay down right where you're using it, not at the far end of the screen, which into turn spreads ink where it doesn't need to be. Less ink coverage on the screen takes less time to clean and saves on cleaning chemicals.

In the picture below it clear to see the wood handle messes up the screen more than TheEZGrip.

No matter the size of my stencil, I don't spread ink closer than 1 to 1 1/2 inches to the end of the screen, just enough clean space to set the pins on. Although, once in awhile, a pin end get's in the ink, but it doesn't interfere with anything, the pin ends only make contact with the screen, it's all part of the plan, so no harm.

Remember, when TheEZGrip is placed out of the screen, it's flipped over so the pins and the blade point up, which is another design feature that prevents the contamination of ink, at the same time, protecting the blade from damage.     

Does this help?

Jake's right about the size, TheEZGrip is 13" and grips blades from 5" to 14". A 14" blade extends past on either end, allowing for a 13 1/2" crisp imprint right to the edge. In fact, you can test this extra width concept on your wood squeegee and you'll learn you can do it with any holder.

[TheEZGrip.com Squeegee 2 Ergo Upright Handles]

Jake, Nation 3, in 2 posts up, makes a good point concerning LOWER BACK PAIN, one of the worst problems for printers.

Lower back pain also relates to leaning forward to lay the squeegee down at the far end of the screen and leaning forward again to pick it up, this makes no sense.

Why put the holder down at the far end if you don't have to? Leaning forward about six extra inches twice for every print cycle is not smart; it's just a bad habit. I know, I have lower back pain, it's a real issue.

By laying TheEZGrip down right where I use it, saves me from stretching my lower back, even by a little, because it was that little extra bit that was killing me.

In addition, Jake's right, it's all about repetition and repetition and repetition. Therefore, the best you can do is make your own environment as friendly for yourself as possible.

Bottom line, does TheEZGrip take the work out of work, no. However, it does make working: healthier, faster, and cleaner.

watch short video and see how EZ it is to lay the holder down while printing      http://www.theezgrip.com/video-demo.html

I understand what are you saying, but you have to realize that sometimes we have designs that are a bit bigger than what you show on the video.
Also, I'm using manual Newman screens which have smaller available print area.
So, 12" wide and 13" long print will not give me enough room to do what you want me to do. I have to lean the squeegee against the screen locking screws.
