EZGrip Squeegee Handle
« on: July 04, 2016, 02:38:39 PM »
Very interesting, Midwest Supply recently introduced TheEZGrip.com silkscreen squeegee. It looks somewhat like Action Engineering but has more features. The ergonomics 2 handle design of TheEZGrip.com squeegee is better positioned for a more even print and the handgrip design is contoured for a better fit.  http://www.midwestsign.com/new_products.asp  4th product on list scroll down

TheEZGrip.com added built-in support braces that protect the squeegee both in and out of the screen, and has a lighter weight, one-piece plastic construction. The Action squeegee looks like an automated unit adapted for manual use. Good idea on Action's part, but TheEZGrip has more features, I should know, I help develop TheEZgrip.com squeegee. I'm a printer, so I  designed features that would appeal to printers. The 2 upright handles are ergonomic, they help in relieving fatigue and pain. They provide better control, resulting in faster production with less effort and less down time due to fewer ink messes and other costly mistakes.

 Other features include:   

1. Self-standing inside screen during use
2. Self-standing outside screen, prevents the spread of ink and blade damage
3. Blade changes in seconds without screws or bolts, use all 4 print edges
4. 13" wide, accommodates blades from 6" to 14"
5.  One piece construction, easy to clean surface, made of shock & chemical resistant plastic
6. Weighs 5.5 oz.

I really interested to hear what printers think, so far all the reviews are positive, but many people are not willing to change or try something new. It's the same way people reacted to the typewriter in the 1860's and the PC in the 1980's. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith.

Last one, blade held by friction, no need for screws, nuts or bolds. Use all 4 edges for printing. Doubles the life of the blade. Takes only seconds to replace a blade. Great for clean up. Have one squeegee holder and use different blades. Another savings.

Has anyone heard of this New Manual Squeegee Design with 2 upright handles? I saw something similar on Action Engineering post.

Well, perhaps you didn't notice that apparently abchung has since he linked to your product through Advanced Screenprint Supply over in the thread that Action started about their proposed product.
There was a suggestion given to Erik would be a good one for you as well: display these at a trade show and let folks "take 'em for a spin".
Otherwise, newfangled gadgets come and go, and it's tough to find folks willing to pay for being the beta users.

TheEZGrip.com Screen Squeegee 2 handle design is patent pending since 2014. The attached picture shows how TheEZGrip lays both in & out of the screen.

I could see this working better than the Action Engineering one for printers using a pull stroke. I push.
Work is the curse of the drinking class . . .

Thanks for the reply. It works just as good pushing. Add all the other features like self-standing, quick blade change, smooth easy to clean surface make this something to look twice at. The color is even pleasing to the eye.

I'd love to try one since I still have and use a manual, but most here have auto's..I have a auto but like I said I still use my manual press quite often.
Life is like Kool-Aid, gotta add sugar/hardwork to make it sweet!!

I'm going to do something totally crazy! Initially wrote about taking a leap of faith, well here it goes.

3Deep I'll give you one for free and the next 9 people to ask (this is not to include your mother and brother), I want 10 real people to have one. But this could go nuts, so I'm stopping at 10 freebies.

Is there a catch? Of course. In return you must write an HONEST opinion of what you think about TheEZGrip. Then tell all your friends and your friend's friends. And if you really like it, buy yourself 1 or 2.

If that's a deal, I'm set up so you can email me your address.

I wouldn't mind trying one but it seems like you lose some of the "feel" of the print, but no telling unless its in your hands. BTW that is a doozie of a screen name. PM sent.

Especially when he started out as Thunder 1515, LOL!
I guess that "Thunder" didn't pass muster as a screenname that doubles as a freakin' advertisement each time it's displayed!
Well, maybe if he sells a few more here he'll look into becoming a real sponsor and buy an ad!  ;D
