EZ Grip Versus Action Bad Ass
« on: October 14, 2020, 03:30:24 PM »
I was on Actions site getting the price for a new set of pallettes and I seen this gizmo. actionengineering.com/badass-manual-squeegee-14/

Isn't that basically what EZ Grip made a while back and was selling through a couple distributors? I seriously hope Action didn't go and rip off the idea from someone elses hard work.

It was first created by Ron, his only costs like $25. Actions is like $125. Its a total copy minus the kick stand that EZ Grip has.

EZ kick stand concept courtesy of yours truly via feedback on the prototype.  ;D Oh crap, I just strained my arm patting myself on the back! LOL!

Both aren't that great in my experience. We sent the badass squeegee back actually, it is a heavy product.

This handlebar concept goes back quite a few years. I have a retired wooden handle version that is over 20 years old.

Made these several years ago, when I wanted to roller a base in revolver mode (flash was on last head). It worked fine, but auto press tooling is heavy, and after 600 tees, my arms were spent   
Thanks TSB gang!!
