Title: EZ Grip Versus Action Bad Ass
Post by: inkman996 on October 14, 2020, 03:30:24 PM: I was on Actions site getting the price for a new set of pallettes and I seen this gizmo. actionengineering.com/badass-manual-squeegee-14/ (http://actionengineering.com/badass-manual-squeegee-14/)

Isn't that basically what EZ Grip made a while back and was selling through a couple distributors? I seriously hope Action didn't go and rip off the idea from someone elses hard work.

It was first created by Ron, his only costs like $25. Actions is like $125. Its a total copy minus the kick stand that EZ Grip has.

EZ kick stand concept courtesy of yours truly via feedback on the prototype. ;D Oh crap, I just strained my arm patting myself on the back! LOL!
