Winner of the 2022 Barkleigh Honors Award for New Product of the Year� �The� Alpha AXT� is the updated version of our�beloved� This Sucks!-Tion Cup.� Supply chain issues throughout 2020 and 2021 created some frustrations, but they also created some opportunity. One of those opportunities was to completely redesign and further customize the suction cup that many have grown to love and rely on. After a lot of working and a lot of waiting, it is finally here! This amazing little tool allows a groomer to place a tie-off point for their grooming loops on nearly any flat surface. It provides the flexibility to move the pet around as needed without having to worry about the placement of the tie-off. Most tubs have one or two tie-offs that will work for one size of dog, but rarely does it work for every size. This�requires you to constantly change out grooming loops, add extensions, or drill in a new tie-off point?.which can be a huge burden. The AXT removes all of those pain points and gives you full control. Made of cast aluminum with stainless steel fittings and a hardened plastic handle Stands up to the wet, harsh, humid environments of a grooming salon. Measures 4-1/2? in diameter, and is easy to use one-handed. Includes built-in Suction Loss Indicator A more ergonomic handle Apply on dry surface for strongest seal The AXT allows a groomer to place a tie-off point on nearly any flat surface. Most tubs have one or two tie-offs that will work for one size of dog, but rarely does it work for every size. This tool allows groomers the flexibility to move the pet around and place the grooming loop wherever they need. **we recommend for safety reasons to reapply the suction cup prior to each use**
