The CEO of GRABO was looking for a better way to scale the rock surface and was inspired to create a powered vacuum tool that could ‘grab’ onto uneven, slightly porous surfaces. Ultimately, the GRABO was not developed for rock climbing but found a different purpose in allowing users to safely lift paving slabs, concrete tiles, drywall, porcelain, glass, furniture and more.

The GRABO has become an indispensable tool for thousands of tradespeople worldwide who want to get the job done quicker and safer (just don’t try rock climbing with it!).
