Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

REVIEW: The Gripper

A while back I ordered a few products from another place, I know, I know.. and the bottles came with "The Gripper" around the mouth of the bottle.

The Gripper® History

PrintSource, Incorporated, a South Carolina forms and label company, originally developed The Gripper® for a local customer who was experiencing tremendous charge backs due to their daily leak problems. PrintSource began experimenting with new material combinations that would not tear coupled with an adhesive that would grip tightly to a wide range of substrates while at the same time being easily removed. After six months of testing, The Gripper®, a patent pending strip, was developed and the customer's liquid leaks were completely eliminated resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in savings.




Anyways I thought I would voice my opinion on this.

I really like the idea, and its just about perfect IMO. The "tape" is very strong, and sticky, but I would like to see it a bit more sticky.

These come REAL cheap at $8 a roll of 250 or a case of 5,000 for $32. I am going to buy a roll in the future for all the sample trading I do. I thought AG could use these as well, and when buying in bulk they're less $.03 a piece. This is a great way to prevent leaks and spills.

















There's not much to review here, no slickness, gloss or "popping" flake in the paint. But this is a product I WILL use in the future for sample trading. It's not very pricey, and its another quality product. Just posting a heads up for those of you who trade often.

Yeah, I have ordered from places in the past that use these. I have also ordered from some places that just use tape. When I am shipping something myself, I usually use masking tape around the bottom edge of the cap.

Looks neat since a lot of us send out a lot of samples to one another.

Thanks.

I use masking tape as well, but it's always a mess as I put like half the roll on. I'll be ordering some along with some sample bottles that I NEED so badly.

Great review.
