Product Information
Full details
The AB Tools Double Suction Lifter Pad (TE286) is designed for professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, secure grip when handling large or awkward non-porous materials like glass, sheet metal, and mirrors. Its key benefit is the 70kg maximum lifting capacity, which significantly reduces the risk of dropped materials during transport or installation. However, users should note that the tool only functions on smooth, flat, and non-porous surfaces, making it unsuitable for textured, dusty, or porous materials like wood or unglazed concrete.

FAQs
Can I use this on wood?
No, the tool requires a smooth, non-porous surface. It will not create a vacuum on wood or other porous materials.
What is the maximum weight it can carry?
The maximum safe lifting capacity for this model is 70kg.
Is this tool suitable for automotive dent repair?
Yes, it is effective as a manual dent puller for shallow dents on smooth metal car bodywork.
How do I maintain the suction pads?
Wipe them with a clean cloth and mild soapy water periodically to remove dust and oil. Store in a dry environment.
Does it require batteries?
No, it is a completely manual mechanical suction device.
Troubleshooting
The tool will not stay attached to the surface.
Verify that the surface is completely clean, dry, and non-porous. Inspect the rubber pads for debris or cracks.
Suction is weak even on clean surfaces.
Check the rubber pads for signs of wear. If the pads are hardened or deformed, they may require replacement or cleaning with a mild soap solution.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases safety when handling sharp or heavy glass and sheet metal
- Versatile enough for both construction and automotive dent repair
- Lightweight and portable for easy site movement
- Simple operation requiring no power or complex setup
Cons
- Does not work on porous or uneven surfaces
- Suction performance is degraded by dust, oil, or water on the surface
- Requires manual maintenance of the rubber pads to ensure a vacuum seal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the tool, clean the surface of both the material and the rubber suction pads. Place the lifter firmly against the surface, ensuring the pads are centered, and flip the locking levers to engage the vacuum. For maintenance, keep the rubber pads clean and free from oil or grease, as these can break the suction seal. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid leaving the levers in the locked position during storage to prevent the rubber from deforming or flattening over time.
