Anything from big German glass design installations at the National Building Museum to Japanese scrolls at the Sackler Gallery behind 15' plexi are handled professionally. We would recommend the hinged ones which work for both flat and curved surfaces. Next to our $10 neon plastic levels, these at around $50 each are exeptionally cheap for how important they are in museums we service.

The Anver Hand Suction Cup that we reviewed previously might work, but I’m way too Toolmonger-cheap to spend $40 for it. But these mini-suction cup handles from Hawk might do the trick. They’re small (at 2-1/4”), but they’re strong enough to hang on to 50 pounds of tile or glass.  [...] [...] I’ve been looking for a solution to help me move around smooth granite tiles while installing them.

They were setting in a granite bathroom counter top that for some reason had not had the holes for the sinks completely cut out yet. They started the cuts with an angle grinder, and prior to completion, set an aluminum beam across the hole. Attached these to the top straddling the beam, and completed the cut. Kept the cutout from falling into the cabinet. Neat idea. Saw some of these used on DIY’s Bathroom Renovations show.
