FastCap HOD-DOUBLE Handle On Demand
Our deck has a 1.5" thick, 32" square clear acrylic floor panel that is flush with the decking. That panel lets light through to the basement window below it. To remove that heavy panel for periodic cleaning, I bought two of these HODs. Handle On Demand is actually a pretty good name, because they made lifting the 50 lb. acrylic (plastic) utterly simple. The rubber suction pads left no marks, even on something as scratch-prone as plastic.
Each HOD comes in a study cardboard box that can be used to store it when not in use and to keep the tool clean. For the first time, my wife can safely lift the glass table-tops from our living room tables so she can clean underneath.
Things to consider:
- If you're frequently moving things such as big pieces of plate glass, consider buying professional grade vacuum cups, as they typically have greater capacity than this tool. E.g., do a Google Shopping search on: vacuum cup
- This type of vacuum cup tool is designed to lift things with a flat surface. If lifting curved items, such as a car windshield, this isn't the right tool. For examples of the type of tool to use in that case, Google Shopping search on: double swivel vacuum cups
- This is the least expensive lifting tool of this type you're likely to find. I.e., professional versions of this tool have much stronger aluminum handles, but are significantly more costly. To see more expensive lifters, search Amazon on: double vacuum cup
If you don't need a heavy-duty lifter, these sturdy HODs are a terrific bargain and work very well.

This handle is surprisingly functional. I bought it as a joke, but I was surprised by how well it adhered to the whiteboard that it was put on.
One think to keep in mind is that it does not handle 200 pounds if it's stuck to the side of something, and lifted vertically: it will lose suction. It might (haven't tested) hold if pulled exactly opposite the suction cups, such as being stuck to the top of something and lifted vertically.
For the price ($10.95 at the time of writing), it is certainly a fun thing to have around, and might come in handy for the next time you need to move an empty file cabinet.

The Fastcap Interactive Catalog shows two men lifting a heavy wooden cabinet with one of these HOD-Double handles on each side. I tried this with a metal desk. I put the handle on one side and lifted up, and sometimes one of the suction cups would slip. It would slide upwards. That's when I decided to return it. The HOD-Double handle has smooth rubber pads. I don't see how they can grip the surface reliably.
I recently bought the Wood Power Grip (aka Powr-Grip) N4000 on Amazon and it's really a professional lifter. It has a large 8" diameter rubber pad with ribs in it, and it really grips well. I was hoping to use the FastCap HOD handle for additional control, when lifting a sliding glass door. It's a lot cheaper than buying another N4000 lifter. I thought I could use the Fastcap on top and the N4000 on the bottom. But it was not to be. I may go ahead and buy a 2nd N4000 now.

I use these at work and they take a beating.
These things are great for auto glass. When I saw the excellent price I bought two so I won't have to borrow them anymore.
