    Northwood Tools have them a quite reasonable prices. Comparable to getting them shipped from the U.S. I've bought a few things from Northwood and received excellent service.

    Default Grip here

    Hi,

    The Grr-Gripper is available from Northwood Tools as mentioned by others. They have been selling them in Australia for over 12 months now.
    http://www.northwoodtools.com.au/category132_1.htm
    I cannot say anything about the service because I am biased. Listen to others on the forum. At the price of $115.00 Australian thats $80+ US and they sell there for US$69.95 for the same advanced version. Take into account 5% customes, 10% GST and shipping to Australia I don't think you will do much better ! And local warranty applies then !

    And Two for $220 makes it even better.

    Northwoods's service is. as I have noted here before, absolutely first rate, and yes I am biased (have no commercial connection whatsoever), because of the quality of service.

    Cheers!
