Non-Marring Rubber Surface Securely Holds WorkpiecesEach Bench Dog Bench Cookie is coated with a non-marring, bristly rubber pad. Similar to the material found on most router mats, these high-friction pads help grip projects firmly in place. For example, if you are planing a piece of wood, you can use Bench Cookies to create a balanced surface that won't slip.
These Bench Cookies have such a strong grip, in fact, they will securely hold a workpiece when you're sanding with a 60-grip belt. And because of their non-marring design, Bench Dog Bench Cookies won't leave behind unsightly marks like clamps often do.
Pads Provide Clearance for Routing and FinishingIn addition to holding your workpieces in place, Bench Cookies also work to elevate your projects. Measuring three inches in diameter and one inch in height, they give you extra vertical clearance and take up minimal surface area. They provide a hassle-free alternative to clamping and allow you to rout the edges of a workpiece with plenty of clearance to spare.
They also make finishing a piece much easier, as you are able to freely brush and varnish the edges of your wood without obstruction. For the best results, always use four bench cookies to elevate or stabilize your project.

Nothing but awesome!,
March 1, 2010 This review is from: Bench Dog 10-035 Bench Cookie Work Grippers, 4-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)
These cookies are just plain awesome and I can't believe that it took this long for a product like this to hit the market.
Use them for elevating your work piece off of the table so you can paint it, use your router on it, whatever you need. The no-slip base works awesomely on pretty much any and all material. Just make sure it's free of saw dust or any loose debris and they'll stay planted.
Rockler sells these as well and I must say that the blue ones they sell are much better looking then these, but obviously function the same (and are the same price).
If you are a serious woodworker, a novice, or even a beginner, these are a must have for anyone. Buy two packs and just go crazy!
Pros:
Securely holds and elevates your workpiece.
Cheap!
Take up very little space in your workshop.
Durable and well made.
Cons:
Orange and black color not all that pretty, LOL.

This review is from: Bench Dog 10-035 Bench Cookie Work Grippers, 4-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have a couple router mats that I've used for years before coming across these. I have a feeling the mats will be rolled up and stored in a cabinet now. These Bench Cookies give you the added benefit of height when routing a complete edge or plunge routing something out of the center of your work. I bought 2 sets so if I want to do some jig saw work I stack 2 on the corners and my work is elevated enough that I can work right over my workbench. The anti-slip surface works as well as my router mats. Something so simple that is so useful....wish I came up with the idea....

Must have for wood workers,

Wasn't sure I would use these when I got them. I now use them every day especially for supporting boards up off the ground while I cut them to size using a circular saw. I just went and got another set yesterday as well for larger peices of wood for more support. They really do grip well especially if you have them on a slick surface like a painted garage floor. A+
Don't buy them here though. Lowes has them for lower.
