GRABO is the battery-powered vacuum lifter that lets you move glass, tile, stone, wood, and concrete solo -- even on rough and porous surfaces where suction cups fail. Starting at $199.
Every day on the jobsite, you hit the same wall.
The stone slab is too heavy to position alone. The glass panel needs four hands to place safely. The large-format tile cracks because your grip slipped. And the suction cup you bought last year? It won't seal on anything that isn't perfectly smooth.
You lose time waiting for help. You risk your back, your materials, and your reputation.
There's a better way to work.

Patented technology that creates an airtight seal on surfaces where traditional suction cups fail.
GRABO's electric vacuum pump continuously generates suction, creating an airtight seal even on rough, porous, and textured surfaces. Traditional suction cups rely on a smooth surface and a manual press -- GRABO doesn't.
At 3.3 lbs with a 1.5-hour battery runtime, GRABO goes wherever the job goes. Fits in your tool bag, runs all morning on a single charge, and the Pro Brushless model works with your existing DeWalt 20V batteries.
The built-in pressure sensor constantly monitors vacuum levels. If the seal starts to weaken, GRABO alerts you with an audible warning -- giving you time to reposition safely. Dust-sealed, impact-resistant, and built for the harshest jobsite conditions.
Traditional suction cups need a perfectly smooth, non-porous surface. GRABO doesn't. Its electric vacuum pump continuously generates suction, maintaining a seal on surfaces that would defeat any manual suction cup.
GRABO works on any surface that is flat or semi-flat and free of deep holes or open mesh. For highly porous materials, use the included foam seal ring for maximum hold.
Find the perfect GRABO for your specific needs and budget.

Hear from the tilers, glaziers, stone masons, and contractors who use GRABO every day.
I used to need a helper just to position 48-inch tiles without cracking them. Now I do it myself. The suction holds on textured porcelain -- something my old suction cups could never do. Paid for itself ten times over in labor savings alone.
In 25 years of glazing, I've seen every suction cup on the market. First day on the job, I used GRABO to position a 200-lb tempered glass panel by myself. Sealed instantly, held firm. I ordered two more that night -- one for each guy on my crew.
I work with flagstone, bluestone, and rough-cut granite every day. Regular suction cups are useless on natural stone. GRABO actually seals on it. I use it to set patio pavers, position wall caps, and lift stepping stones without destroying my back.
I bought one GRABO for the crew to share. Big mistake -- everyone wanted it. We now have four. It speeds up drywall hanging, countertop installs, glass work, you name it. The ROI was obvious within the first week.
I'm not a pro. I'm a homeowner who got tired of begging friends for help. The quartz countertops weighed a ton. GRABO let me position the slab by myself. At $199, it was cheaper than hiring someone for a couple hours.
I'm all-in on DeWalt 20V. When I heard GRABO made a model that takes DeWalt batteries, I didn't even think twice. The brushless motor is noticeably stronger and quieter. If you're in the DeWalt ecosystem, the Pro Brushless is a no-brainer.
The GRABO Pro Brushless is compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX batteries -- the same ones already in your truck. No proprietary chargers. No extra batteries to buy. Just grab a battery off your drill, snap it into GRABO, and get to work.
The Pro Brushless also features a maintenance-free brushless motor for longer lifespan and more consistent suction under load. Winner of the 2024 Pro Tool Innovation Award.
