Nemo GRABO (2 Batteries, 2 Seals) - Electric Vacuum Suction Cup Lifter for Wood, Paver, Drywall, Marble, Tile and More (Lifts up to 375 lbs)

Had borrowed one from a friend last winter and it worked well. I bought my own for a specific project I was doing. This tool works excellent. I laid a 175 sq.ft. stone floor (about 50 - 24"x24"x1 1/4" stones and cuts) The stones weigh about 50 lbs and have a rough thermal finish. The Grabo lifted with no problem. I was showing it to a carpenter and even on a plywood wall I could not pull it off . Highly recommend this tool. Also only used half the battery life over the two days of setting stone.

This product works as advertised. I used it on a 24"x48" porcelain tile floor job. It never lost suction and was a great asset for installing these large tiles while working alone. The unit was advertised as having 2 batteries and only came with one. The vendor was very prompt and proactive in getting an extra battery to me. Great product and fantastic customer service, I highly recommend both!

my nemo grabo came today, Inhave been very excited to try this tool out I work as a union carpenter so there are many different applications of work I could use this for, from drywall, lumber even exterior building panels. I also have a side handyman business where I take just about any type of work and the Nemo os gonna be right there with my helping move furniture and appliances to tile and door glass panes. The tool came securly tucked into cutout styro foam with a battery charger, 2 batteries, a replacement air filter and base foam sealing pad. Bith batteries were only partially charged so I gave each one about an hour in the charger as the company suggest, there is a red and green light in the charger base letting you know when you ready to go. Once all charged up It was about 8pm and I didn't feel like running into the cold outside to try out the Nemo Grabo. So I improvised and stuck the Grabo on my kitchen wall with is textured hit the button to vaccum which is extremely quick and then grabbed with both hands and lifted my legs of the ground. The Grabo did not move at all even with all 230lbs of me hanging off it. This was a great first impression of the tool in use. It could not be any easier to use vaccum button release air button and a power on and off. As of this review Im going to suggest you buy this, even my wife was impressed and and asked if she could use it when needed. I highly recommend the tool.

The batteries suck ass. Three of the 6 batteries I had died. One of the batteries straight out of the box was garbage. The placement of the on off switch can get a bit annoying, while lifting items it accidently get bumped and turns the cup off all the time. Ok now for the plus!! These cups work amazingly well. I bought the because I was working a project (The Arts and Education building at Oregon State University) and needed a way to lift reflective panels vertically that weigh between 20lbs to 300lbs. I would have preferred to use a mechanical hoist, but with the design of the panels there was know where to place a pic point. Long story short these cups while using two at a time had no problem lifting a 300lb wood/MDF veneered panel several hundred times. For a informercial looking thingy these cups payed for themselves ten fold..

I am a Union Carpenter and used the Electric Vacuum Suction Cup Lifter (the product) for moving and installing wood wall panels, metal service chase covers, sink knee panels, metal & wood cabinets, counter tops and solids sinks. The product was an instant second hand/handle for moving and installing. It reduced time and effort to get the job done and was more secure than the manual suction cups we have used in the past. It would be an added feature of the product to have a vacuum gauge. Such a gauge would let me know when the product was losing suction. I could turn it back on before I lose the hold and potentially damage finished product. I did not purchase the case but would recommend that to anyone that purchases. A case would insure longevity and performance of the tool. If possible, it should be included in the purchase price. Overall a superior product on the market. I feel this product is a huge asset to my trade. I am looking forward to finding more uses and advantages of the product.

Sadly I had to return this as it would not pick up rough surface lumber... I even had problems picking up surfaced pine...

Worth every cent. I have two year old Travertine Pavers that had some normal settling. I tried several things to lift them, but to no avail. This tool allows surgical removal of single tiles and easy, precise drop in as you put them back, all without damage to original pavers.

This tool worked great, better than expected! On smooth to semi-smooth surfaces it has long-lasting holding power even after the pump is turned off. We used it on an acid-etched concrete panel and it carried the 120-lb panel with ease with the pump running continuously (which should be expected on this type of surface). They're fairly light weight and ergonomic, which beats the heck out of air cups with hoses and compressors attached.

This product has been a terrific time saver, and back saver. We are using it on 2'x4' outdoor porcelain tile. Unfortunately it doesn't work on a lot of the drycast concrete pavers, but there are enough products that it does work on that we'll get a lot of use from them.
