FAQs
Can these be used on textured tiles?
No. The suction cups require a smooth, non-porous surface to create the necessary vacuum.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The Toolmak Double Handle Suction Cups have a maximum weight capacity of 70kg.
Do I need to apply oil to the rubber seals?
No, you should never apply oil to the rubber seals, as it can damage the material and cause slippage.
Are these suitable for moving furniture?
Only if the furniture has smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces that the suction cups can grip securely.
How should I store the suction cups?
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to prevent the rubber pads from deforming or being cut.
Troubleshooting
Suction cup will not hold pressure
Clean both the surface of the object and the rubber suction cup pad to ensure no dust or debris is preventing a tight seal.
Vacuum releases during lift
Check that the surface is non-porous and completely flat. If the material is porous, the vacuum will dissipate over time.
Difficulty engaging the handle levers
Apply slightly more pressure onto the cup while engaging the lever, and verify the rubber pad is not damaged or cracked.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, place the suction cups firmly against the target surface and engage the levers to create the vacuum seal. The Toolmak cups are compatible with any flat, non-porous material such as glass, polished stone, or smooth metal sheets. For proper care, clean the rubber pads with mild soap and water after each use. Store them in a cool, dry place and ensure the pads are not pressed against sharp objects or heavy debris while not in use, as indentations or cuts in the rubber will compromise the vacuum strength.
