Raimondi Medusa Single Suction Cup, Black

Raimondi Medusa, single.

One of the most common vacuum suction cups. The cheapest one that actually works. Suits all types of tile, rough ones included, and glass as well. It holds both vertical and horizontal loads. It has a plastic body. For locking it has a lever that is very convenient to work one-handed. The one thing is that you have to watch the lever sits right while you carry the tile, so it cannot release. Two cups, for example, work well for tile 600 x 1000 mm. One is enough for tile up to 500 x 500 mm. You have to pay attention, because tile with micro-cracks, or with a structure whose layer transitions amount to micro-cracks, will not hold on any plain vacuum cup and you need to look at pump cups. I would also point out that the tile you are carrying has to be clean.
