PiBurn Grip 2 Reliability Reviews:

From Jennifer:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Grip2 is a game changer! I went from a 40oz tumbler and forgot to change my focal distance. That would have been game over for me on any other rotary! I simply stopped the job, started it over, and it restarted EXACTLY where it was supposed to. No slippage. So what would have been a ruined tumbler was saved by this tool! I LOVE IT!!

Versatility & Compatibility Reviews:

From Envision Designs:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tried something new with my Grip 2 today that I wasn't sure if it could be done and it worked great! I needed to cut down this 6" acrylic tube into 8" long pieces and I didn't have a saw big enough to get a clean/straight cut so off to the Thunder Nova 63 laser I went and that paired with the Grip 2 did not disappoint! Just under 1 min per cut and a quick wipe with some alcohol on a microfiber and the inside cleaned right up!

Thanks to Lensdigital LLC for making such an awesome rotary!

PiBurn Grip 2 for Wedding & Special Events:

From Richard:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

PiBurn Grip that I've had for several years still earning its keep. I found a niche, wedding invitations on wine bottles. The Haotian 10w UV coupled with the Grip getting it done. Hustle hustle hustle.

PiBurn Grip 2 for Unusual Items:

From Nate (About the Galvo Grip)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

PiBurn Grip 2 saves the day again. I thought I might need spacers, but there was still room to slide four sheets of paper under the handle.

This customer had tried three other places even a brand-new specialized engraving setup in a shopping centre and none of them could fit this glass beer stein. When he called, I told him it wouldn't be a problem and guaranteed I could get it done. He drove 40 minutes, and I made it happen.

Overall Customer Satisfaction:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just have to say, this Grip 2 rotary is the F****ing (flipping) best. Even with something simple, like moving the fingers up, since I was moving them anyway I flipped the orange brackets around so they protrude out for an even hold instead of lengthening the silver backing plates. Looks like you've pretty much thought of everything and I have been super impressed with the way it just works with everything you throw at it.

For the 10th time….well done

PiBurn Grip 2 versatility review - works with everything

Such a good investment.
