Have you cleaned there stock out marc ?😀
Seriously though that it insane money for that tool, surely nobody needs that?

Whilst it is true, I don’t mind paying what it costs to make my life easier, that is the most ridiculous amount of money for a trade tool I think I’ve seen.
I did inquire tho, because they never used to advertise the price, it was always P.O.A.

There is a cheaper version tho, where that has an integral electric pump, there is one that hooks up to a vacuum, and is considerably cheaper.

Again it goes back the the origins of the tooling of ex large thin slabs, the glass industry, that suction device was originally intended for lifting large sheets of glass safely.

if I may make a suggestion, I would avoid the suction cups
with black rubber.
on some rough tiles, they leave their mark.

What do I get here in Italy?
The only ones I have seen are the double Raimondi in Aluminium.

sigma with blue rubber my last purchase.
so much strength with rough tiles.

The sigma cups on my frame have been known to let go of Matt and textured porcelain. Thankfully they are backed up by two of the pump type which don't fail at all.
I also use two raimondi Octo type which are expensive but they are non marking, come in their own cases and never fail, which kind of matters if you're carrying a tile worth more than a days wage up some ladders!
Cheap lifters for tiling, I have the basic raimondi lever action and the little rubber montolit lifting cups.

I've been using the Veribor glass lifter for almost 15 years. Still have the original I purchased, hasn't failed me yet. They are made in Germany, really good reliable parts.

Below is the one I have. Well worth the investment.
