Does anyone know where I can find this?

Hey everyone -

I figured maybe someone here might know? I get all 4 trucks at work - Snapon Matco Mac and Cornwell - but haven't needed anything from them in a long time so I haven't looked on them. Does anyone know if someone else makes this? I think it used to be on the Mac truck.

Loctite makes one that somewhat expensive...


Then there is this one...

The first one that came to mind is the Valco Cincinnati shown above.

Since that one is no longer made, there's this pricey one:

If you don't need it to be commercial duty, there's this simpler/cheaper type that seems to get good reviews:

I bought a couple of these a few years back. Inexpensive, stainless, and sturdy. Wife made me order 6 more for her:

I've used the Valco tub grip for years with great results. I think there's even a Kent-Moore version of it. you can also get most sealants in a small cylinder now that can be used with a mini caulking gun.
Outside of the Valco tube grip, I've never seen any tube squeezers on a tool truck

Okay thanks guys.

Sorry for all the “likes” referencing the Valco tube grip but that is my old company I worked at. My engineering mentor Ray developed that tool along with its inventor Rich Santefort, company owner, who came up with the idea to better apply thin beads of RTV sealant on his pulling tractor race engines.

I have a prototype and a regular one. They get used all the time and work awesome!

Good thought. I have one and it works just fine, in the shower.

Not sure I understand your question. Snips references $24.50 and others provide Amazon links for them.
