5.0 out of 5 stars For Safety's Sake, Get a PAIR!, April 19, 2001

These are pretty nice to have around the shop. The angled handle vectors your push forward and against a fence more easily. I use one in each hand, especially on the jointer. The heavy plastic ought to last for quite a while if you don't run them over with a pickup. The rubber base leaves no marks on your work and grips well with a minimum of downforce. I like these better than the metal stick type as they are less likely to damage a cutter if you inadvertantly contact one. The only application these really don't work well for is running narrow stock, less that 3" in width. In that case use the plastic stick model from Big Horn with a feather board.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the money . . ., January 18, 2001

For the money it is pretty tough to argue with these push blocks. They do exactly what they are supposed to - hold wood & protect digits. I have larger hands, so a larger grip would be nice, yet that may complicate things for others with smaller hands. The molded thumb indentations are helpful for applying pressure, the foam bottom cuts down on vibration and helps prevent slipping ( particularly when they are clean ) and the bright yellow color - actually helps to keep me alert beacuse of the contrast between the saw and router table surfaces. These push blocks should also work well with a jointer, although I have not purchased or tried that to date. Probably not absolutely perfect - but for the money , I do not believe you can go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool...good value, November 25, 2004

This review is from: Big Horn 19072B Joiner, Router Table & Table Saw Push Block

These push blocks are one of the best tools for saving those fingers and hands from spinning sharp objects. Plastic won't hurt your expensive blades and cutters,and the soft rubber foot won't mark your workpiece. They fit the hand very well and are comfortable to use. As one of the other reviewers noted, they don't fit on narrow pieces. So I bought 8 of em, left 4 of em stock size, trimmed 2 of em to 1" wide and two of em to 2" wide. Now I have a set for pretty much any application. You do have to be a little more cautious on the narrow widths, they want to rock, but with a little care they work very well. I use push sticks also and featherboards, but like being able to put downward pressure on the piece, especially on the small joiner.
Highly recommend these...cheap insurance and they work very well.
