POWERTEC Push Block and Push Stick Set Fits Table Saws, Router Tables, Band Saws & Jointers, Dual Ergonomic Handles w/Max Grip, Wood Pusher Reduces Kickback & Increases Safety. 5PK (71009V)

This is an excellent set of push sticks and grippers. I use them on my table saw, router table, and my jigsaw table. Good quality, easy to grip. With this set, you can handle just about anything. I actually used them to help me hold aluminum siding in place while screwing it in. Very versatile. An excellent gift for the woodworker or DIYer in your family.

Great deal works great

For full disclosure, 3 days ago was my first time using a table saw, and after making some cross cuts, needed to get a taper cut.This jig was pretty easy to use, and most importantly it made my taper cut pretty feasible.The only issue I faced was that my workpiece was longer, and the jig, supported against the rip fence, was only supported only half way, had to very carefully support the piece on a jerry rigged extension, and push it through carefully.In any case, without this eminently affordable jig, I would have been at a loss as to how I was going to get a taper cut.I am wondering if the support that goes against the rip fence could be extended on the other side of the hinge, maybe 6 to 12 inches. That would not interfere with the operation of the jig I think.

I returned or threw away every other push stick. The price and ease of use of each push device was great. The flat surfaces actually cling to the wood and the narrow push sticks are great for smaller pieces.

Bought this for a birthday gift for family member starting out, thinking it’d be easier for him initially, and instead of making his own jig. Device is a bit flimsy, but that’s what you get for your money these days. The use of round head bolts to hold the stop in place has to be one of the stupidest designs I’ve seen. Placement of wood along the rail is automatically out of flush due to the head of the bolt protruding from the rail wall, creating a gap other reviewers have mentioned. I cut a short piece of 1x and ran wood screws from the other side of the rail to hold it in place. You’ll benefit from using a feather jig in a miter slot and bring it in snug against the cut piece to ensure the it stays snug against the fence. Tool tends to wander otherwise, as lightweight as it is. Years ago I made a crosscut sliding jig with slot rails attached, complete with adjustable angle rest and stops for better accuracy. There are dozens of patterns online now for making your own, and likely better than mine. Lastly, to get around the challenge of cutting so close to the jig at the end of your pass, attach a longer stop, and use a straight piece of scrap wood as a spacer between your cut piece and the rail. You’ll complete the cut further up on the pass, and further away from the blade.

This is a solid push-block kit, containing many different styles of push blocks for virtually any job. I've found that several of them allow for minute adjustments to be made during cutting. They are very solid - no cheap plastic feeling here. The textured surfaces also are very "grippy", depending on your particular application. Overall this is a very solid kit.

I've made push sticks out of wood for 40 years. They're ok, but I think these are better. I like the different shapes, and find that the rubber pads feel more secure. These are well worth the money in my view.

I purchased the POWERTEC push block specifically for use with my table saw, and it’s been a great addition to my setup. It gives me a solid grip and helps keep my hands at a safe distance while pushing material through the blade.The build quality is great, and the bottom has just the right amount of grip to hold the wood steady. It’s comfortable to use and adds an extra level of safety and control to every cut. Highly recommend for anyone working with a table saw!
