I recently picked up a Microjig Gripper, but I'm on the lookout for other push stick options. What are some of your favorites or what have you found to work well?

I really like the Gripper along with the GRR-Rip block. The design helps with pushing, and I also have the Powertec set with multiple pieces that all have their uses. The paddle ones work great with my jointer too!
For me, it's all about using what's around. Just a piece of scrap wood, bandsaw it to shape, sand it down, and you're good to go—all for zero cost!
That’s super resourceful! I love the idea of saving money and making something that fits just right.
I've got a bunch of different ones I made or 3D printed. My favorite is a crazy-looking fish-shaped one made from Baltic Birch. It feels comfy in hand, plus it’s fun to use!
Honestly, I just DIY my push sticks from scrap MDF or plywood. It's easy and cost-effective, plus you can shape them to your liking. Nothing beats a custom fit!
Agreed! I love creating my own tools. Feels more personal and satisfying.
Sounds like a solid setup! I've been curious about the GRR-Rip block, might have to pick one up.
