Description
The TuffCup Handle Frame is a heavy-duty ergonomic accessory designed to pair with the TuffCup Hades and TuffCup Athena vacuum cups, giving you a secure two-handed grip for safer, more controlled lifting and placement of large, heavy materials. The handle-mounted remote suction cup start button lets you activate and release suction without repositioning your hands — keeping you in full control throughout every lift.
Built for professional tile setters, glass installers, and stone fabricators who regularly handle large-format panels and slabs. The Handle Frame does not include a suction cup — it is an accessory sold separately, compatible with the TuffCup Hades and TuffCup Athena.
