Angle-Grip™ - 6" Vertical Hand Cup For Flat To Curved Surfaces - Set of 2

Wood's Powr-Grip TL6AG Angle-Grip™ — 6" Vertical Hand Cup with Angled Handle for Auto Glass and Flat-to-Curved Surfaces (70 lbs / 32 kg) — Set of 2

The Wood's Powr-Grip TL6AG Angle-Grip™ is a 6" vacuum hand cup specifically designed for handling windshields and auto glass, featuring a comfortable angled handle for improved grip ergonomics and a classic vertical handle — giving the operator two handle positions in one cup. Rated for loads up to 70 lbs (32 kg) on flat and curved smooth, nonporous surfaces. The lightweight industrial-grade plastic construction is less likely to damage a vehicle’s glass or paint if the cup is accidentally dropped. Operable down to 10°F (-12°C). Sold as a Set of 2. The TL6AG (SKU: 91365PR, Model: TL6AG) is manufactured by Wood's Powr-Grip.

The Angle-Grip™ is specifically designed for auto glass handling — windshields, door glass, and other automotive glass — where the angled handle provides a more natural wrist position during the lift and carry compared to a straight vertical handle. The dual handle design (angled + classic vertical) gives the operator flexibility to choose the grip position that best suits the lift direction and body position. The lightweight plastic construction reduces the risk of paint and glass damage from accidental contact or drops — a critical consideration in auto glass installation where vehicle damage is a liability.

Key Features & Benefits

Angled Handle — More Comfortable Grip for Auto Glass Handling

The Angle-Grip™’s angled handle is the defining feature — it positions the operator’s wrist at a more natural angle during the lift and carry, reducing wrist strain compared to a straight vertical handle during repeated auto glass handling operations. The angled handle is particularly beneficial when carrying windshields and large curved glass panels where the operator’s arm position relative to the glass changes during the carry.

Dual Handle Design — Angled + Classic Vertical

The TL6AG provides both an angled handle and a classic vertical handle in a single cup, giving the operator two grip positions to choose from based on the lift direction, body position, and personal preference. This flexibility makes the Angle-Grip™ adaptable to different handling scenarios without requiring a different cup for each grip preference.

Lightweight Industrial-Grade Plastic — Reduced Glass and Paint Damage Risk

The TL6AG’s industrial-grade plastic construction is lightweight and less likely to damage a vehicle’s glass or paint if the cup is accidentally dropped or makes contact with the vehicle surface during installation. This is a critical safety feature for auto glass installation where accidental contact with the vehicle body or glass edge can cause scratches, chips, or paint damage that become a liability for the installer.

70 lb (32 kg) Capacity — 6" TL6 Pad — Flat and Curved — 10°F Rating

Rated for loads up to 70 lbs (32 kg) on flat and curved smooth, nonporous surfaces — covering the majority of automotive windshields and door glass within this weight range. Uses the 6" (15 cm) TL6 standard rubber pad — the same pad family used on TL6 hand cups and TL6 mounting cups, making replacement pads interchangeable across TL6 family products. Red-line indicator warns of any significant vacuum loss. Operable down to 10°F (-12°C). Sold as a Set of 2.

Common Applications

Windshield Handling and Installation

Auto glass technicians use the Angle-Grip™ as the primary hand cup for windshield removal and installation. The angled handle provides a comfortable grip during the lift from the vehicle, carry to the work area, and placement into the pinch weld — reducing wrist fatigue during repeated windshield replacements. The Set of 2 provides a matched pair for two-handed windshield handling.

Auto Glass Door and Side Window Handling

The flat+curved rating and 70 lb capacity cover automotive door glass, quarter glass, and side windows in addition to windshields. The lightweight plastic construction reduces the risk of paint damage from accidental contact with the door frame or body panel during glass removal and installation.

General Auto Glass Shop Use

The Angle-Grip™ is suited for general auto glass shop use — moving, positioning, and handling automotive glass panels of compatible size and weight where the angled handle and dual grip positions provide ergonomic advantages over standard straight-handle cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the Angle-Grip™ different from a standard straight-handle hand cup?
A: The Angle-Grip™ features an angled handle that positions the operator’s wrist at a more natural angle during the lift and carry, reducing wrist strain compared to a straight vertical handle. It also includes a classic vertical handle in the same cup, giving the operator two grip positions. Standard straight-handle cups provide only one grip position. The Angle-Grip™ is specifically designed for auto glass handling where the angled handle provides ergonomic advantages during windshield and door glass operations.

Q: Why is the lightweight plastic construction important for auto glass work?
A: In auto glass installation, accidental contact between the cup handle and the vehicle body, paint, or glass edge can cause scratches, chips, or paint damage that become a liability for the installer. The lightweight industrial-grade plastic construction is less likely to cause this type of damage compared to heavier metal-handle cups if the cup is accidentally dropped or makes contact with the vehicle surface.

Q: Is the TL6 pad interchangeable with other TL6 family products?
A: Yes. The TL6AG uses the TL6 standard rubber pad (6" diameter), which is the same pad family used on TL6 hand cups and TL6 mounting cups (TL6TD, TL6PB1). Replacement TL6 pads are available separately through Wood’s Powr-Grip authorized distributors.

Q: Is this product made to order?
A: Yes. This product is made to order and all sales are final. Please confirm your surface type and load requirements before placing your order.
