Rockler Bench Cookies Used By U.S. Troops & Others Little Hockey-Puck-Like Lifters And Grippers Find Multitude Of Uses

Hamel, MN (PRWEB) January 28, 2010

Rockler, a premier supplier of specialty hardware, tools, lumber and high-quality woodworking products, recently received a Bench Cookies request from Frank Hendrickson, a U.S. Marine stationed in Afghanistan. "It would definitely take away the need for a second pair of hands to hold the piece of gear while the other grinds away at it." Henderson wrote. After receiving the Bench Cookies from Rockler, Hendrickson emailed images to the company, showing how Bench Cookies are currently being used by his team.

At the other side of the Bench Cookie spectrum, is Rockler customer Linda Race from Troutdale, OR, "I recently painted the sides of a stretched canvas and these worked perfect to hold it steady and up off the bench. Look out fellas! Your gals are about to raid your workshop."

“Bench Cookies continue to make a huge impression on an ever-increasing customer base as users discover how indispensable they are over a vast array of applications,” says Steve Krohmer, Rockler’s vice president of product development. “They keep your project from slipping; they give you complete access to its edges; they’re completely non-marring and they require absolutely no set up.”

All those benefits translate into countless project and household applications. A pack of four Bench Cookies will keep stock and many other items from slipping while being sanded, edge routed or carved. Without any clamps getting in the way, users save time and can finish the job in one continuous step. As an assembly tool, Bench Cookies provide a stable and protective base which prevents parts from shifting. And for easy finishing, they raise boards up so users can fully access every edge.

Bench Cookies draw their holding power from two, high-friction rubber pads. One pad grabs the work surface; the other grips the work piece. Together, they make it nearly impossible for the work piece to move from side to side. Sandwiched between these pads, Bench Cookies boast a highly durable acrylic core.

Patent pending Bench Cookies are non-slip, hockey-puck-like discs that grip and elevate projects, holding them in place — without clamps — for safe and easy sanding, finishing, routing and more. Bench Cookies come in a pack of four for just $11.99.
