DEWALT 20V Grabo Lifter: The Ultimate Lifting Tool?

[@massive_droner]

Does Milwaukee have a version of this in their pipeline?

[@odin8214]

I remember looking into this tool a couple of years ago but the price and habing to go into yet one more battery platform kept me away. Great to see more people compete in this market

[@WorkshopAddict]

Grabo was probably the brand you looked at. They partnered with DEWALT

[@odin8214]

@@WorkshopAddict yeah youre right and honestly makes sense. im not in the market for such a tool but your video does make me droll.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@odin8214 For the people who need them, they are a game changer!

[@boedilllard5952]

Can you use it on the back of large TVs to create handles?

[@GamingLogic225]

I’m a dewalt guy so I have so many tools from them

[@tanthadcork5040]

I think they could also make a 12v max version of this tool!

[@davebarnhart4129]

We’ve already had to send three of these back because they don’t work properly. We also have the grabo originals and zero issues. I think there’s a design flaw with these and I’m a huge dewalt fan.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@@davebarnhart4129 what is failing?

[@davebarnhart4129]

They don’t reach full suction on any of the flat surfaces. One would reach -7 and the other -10 and stall out and stay trying to reach full suction so basically just keep running. These should definitely reach full suction on an igu (insulated glass unit). On a non porous surface like that they should work properly. That was with three different units all with the same failure. Definitely can’t trust these in a commercial work environment when they fail right out of the box. Bummer because I was excited to add them to my kit.

[@davebarnhart4129]

I have videos of the problems

[@romeoking19]

⁠@@davebarnhart4129this sucks to hear. Could it be due to not using the recommended 20V Max volt batteries? I purchased one today but haven’t picked any batteries up for it yet. They’re costly, hoping to buy once cry once.

[@davebarnhart4129]

Batteries should 100% not matter, But I tried with fully charged power stack, flexvolt and xr batteries with the same results. I own a lot of dewalt tools and use them every single day at work in a commercial setting. I’m a dewalt fan through and through these just unfortunately ended up being a dud.

[@WEALRO]

Every glass company should have one

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Every glass company already has suction cups with a thumb pump on them. Like 5 pumps and they're stuck to whatever you need. Lol

[@crownmoldingbyspectaculart941]

It would be nice if it could lift sheets of mdf

[@shawnb1811]

Wanted one for windows, but they can break the glass according to the manufacturer.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@@shawnb1811 It would be nice if you could have different levels of power.

[@shawnb1811]

@WorkshopAddict agreed!

[@eliakimbenishchayil]

You didn’t mention the price

[@thecanadian8900]

350$ CAD

[@kaiserwill11]

Of course not, he's sponsored by DeWalt. And ALL the big tool companies don't like tell the MSRP so they can give deals to other big companies, whole fckin the little guy

[@MrCubflyer]

Just look it up very simple

[@MrCubflyer]

200 tool only

[@MrCubflyer]

Sorry 250 tool only

[@kc0lif]

interesting tool.

[@tylergoldstein]

Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

[@СергейЕрин-д5е]

Смотрю из России у нас если появиться у перекуров 500 долларов стоить будет лист фанеры удержит 2500*1250*18?

[@fredio54]

3 is stretching it ;-)

[@cookierus4878]

I want to climb with it

[@Cakin]

😮

[@smenzi01]

Yeh bad back in 2 years AWFUL LIFTING TECHNIQUE !! Bend the knees and straight back

[@fZionists78]

Haven’t watched…but…why?

[@fZionists78]

Glass workers, sure. Sheetrock?

[@WorkshopAddict]

You have never installed a huge bathroom mirror then. Or needed a handle on an appliance. So many uses for the right person, like any tool.

[@POLOLOUS3]

Once you get one you’ll find more uses for it and then curse yourself why you didn’t get one sooner. I can lift drywall/sheet goods without bending/squatting and lower it when going through doorways without bending, etc.

[@cookierus4878]

It's for climbing
