I picked up a used Grrripper long ago and absolutely love the control, and safety, that it provides. While another actual Grrripper would be nice, I made a workable approximation by coating the bottom of a 2x4 with a thin coat of caulk and screwing a handle on top. Yep, the 2x4 gets cut away over time, but is easy enough to replace - might even skip the caulk next time as I'm not sure it's necessary.
Don't be an F'ing idiot. Don't be cheap. Yeah it's pricey for plastic but so is Lego yet they're both top of their game for a reason. And not that most people care but if you are smart and you vote with your wallet, this is an American company you're supporting with American engineering behind this product.
The only complaint I've EVER seen for this is the cost (it is costly) oh yeah and some stable genius complaining it's not made out of metal because you know, most push blocks are apparently made out of metal... anyways really great product and it actually allows for thinner/smaller cuts so functionality + safety + accuracy = winning!

Things like a tool that does this, for less money. That's not plastic and can be modified to suit your needs for the task at hand.
I often imagine that the people using this on their table saw, are also wearing gloves as they use it. Lol
I bought one of these the day after I picked up my table saw. I find I use it less now than I did originally since I have more confidence in using the saw, but they are still indispensible for certain cuts like thin strips. Being able to run the push block over the blade is very useful. And I almost always use it with my jointer which IMO is even more dangerous than a table saw.
Sure you can manufacture similar tools, but if you're just starting out, this is a good investment in safety.
Ok, there are dozens of ways to make a jig for safely using a table saw. This particular one is just one that is overhyped 💩 that people can buy.

This is a gimmick that's made a fortune off of the quarantined "woodworkers".
I have a Gripper and love it. $60 is a hell of a lot cheaper than whatever it costs for reconstructive surgery. If you'd rather make one...fine but don't come in here and be a condescending asshole about it. Seems as if some people only have one mode.

I personally love my Gripper in addition to my other push sticks. Off the top of my head I have at least 4 different types of push sticks in my shop, all useful for different purposes. I've seen nearly every woodworker on YouTube use a Gripper at one point or another, and yes, that includes whatever big name you're thinking of.
Bottom line: if you think it's worth it, buy it. If you don't, then don't post here.

Is it a necessary tool? No, you can easily get by with a standard push stick or other contraption you come up with that works for you that you made out of scrap. But is it a valuable tool? Only the one who uses it can determine that. I find it very valuable and highly recommend it. But calling it the equivalent of a pet rock? Absolutely stupid and ignorant. But I believe i've seen him/her post like that in other threads so i'll just chalk this up to a lifeless troll.
Two complaints
1. I couldn't use it for the thinner cuts, which is addressed by the leg accessory.
2. I have had to make a couple cuts on a board that was stained and had poly on both sides. For this cut, the rubber feet were pretty slick on the board and it would have been dangerous to use. Luckily it was just pine and wider cuts, so no issue using my hands and a stick
Overall, I recommend this, especially to any new woodworkers.
There are many cuts that are common on a table saw where the anti kickback pawls and cover can't be used or when using a sliding jig of some sort. That is where something like the Gripper has a real advantage. NEVER take off the cover and kickback pawls unless you have to for the cut or don't mind assuming the risk. Don't go backwards with safety and take them off just to use this push block.
Sure, if you are ripping 4 inches off a 2x12, ripping plywood or ripping a large enough cut the end result safely fits between the guard and the miter fence and room for you to push past them you should always leave the safety cover and pawls on and I would use a plain old push stick too. It's the best tool for that job.
If I am doing something where I have to take off the cover and pawls to fit, there is a good chance the Gripper is the better push block too.
Keep in mind, this GRIPPER also has function used with a router table, jointer, and even holding when cutting with a miter saw in cases.
