Bench Critters Gecko Bloc Set Review by Mark Gutierrez

A Better Bench Cookie Alternative

If you're looking for an honest Bench Critters Gecko Bloc Set review, you're in the right place. This post covers why Gecko Blocs are becoming a must-have for woodworkers seeking a more stable, versatile alternative to traditional bench cookies.

Why Gecko Blocs Stand Out

• 3 Adjustable Heights: Use in three orientations for different project needs—perfect for glue-ups, routing, sanding, assembly and more.
• Non-Slip Grip: Custom silicone compound ensures your workpiece stays put and won't damage even delicate woods.
• Waterproof & Washable: Easy to clean and built to last.
• No Glue Stick: Finishes, adhesives & fillers won’t stick to the silicone.
• 6 Blocks + Wall Mount: More blocks for bigger projects, with a space-saving holder.
