I used to do a lot of woodworking and DIY and always found clamps to be a nightmare. There’s lots of different types, of course, but they all seemed to fail in some respect – damaging the work surface, getting in the way of the task at hand or simply failing to provide enough clamping force. These clever cookies however, called the Bench Dog Bench Cookie Work Grippers are a clamp alternative that would be immensely helpful for a myriad of tasks including routing, planing, sanding, cutting, carving and varnishing – sitting underneath your workpiece and preventing slippage with their bristly, rubber-padded surfaces.
Providing both a level surface and extra clearance so you can work unobstructed, the Bench Cookies also feature a non-marring design to protect your project. With enough hold to withstand a 60-grit belt sand, the Bench Dog Bench Cookie Work Grippers are available now from Amazon.com at a bargain $11.99 for a pack of four.
