Gecko Bloc Set – Advanced Bench Cookie Alternative

Introducing the Gecko Bloc Set—an evolutionary leap in workholding for serious woodworkers, makers, and luthiers.

Forget foam bench cookies that slip, wear out, or fail under pressure. Gecko Blocs are crafted from a custom silicone compound designed for superior grip, long-term durability, and total resistance to adhesives, finishes, and glue.

Each set includes 6 heavy-duty, non-slip workholding blocks - more than the typical 4 - giving you better support for larger projects, glue-ups, and full-length boards or slabs.

What makes them truly unique? The 3 height orientation design lets you raise your workpiece to three different heights, making it easy to:

  • Get clamps underneath during glue-ups

  • Lift pieces off the bench for edge finishing

  • Elevate without compromising stability

Whether you're sanding, routing, carving, gluing or finishing, Gecko Blocs offer maximum control, stability, and safety.

Why Gecko Blocs Are Better:

  • 3 Adjustable Heights: Unique shape allows for three orientations—perfect for gluing, finishing, and sanding at different levels.

  • Ultra-Grippy Surface: Non-slip custom silicone compound grips your bench and your workpiece with zero slippage.

  • Heavy-Duty Build: No foam cores or hollow centre. Just solid, weighty blocks that stay put.

  • Waterproof & Washable: 100% silicone construction means easy cleanup and zero moisture damage.

  • Adhesive, Filler & Glue Resistant: Adhesives, finishes, fillers and glues won’t stick - these blocks won’t degrade or spoil over time.

  • Space-Saving Wall Mount: Includes a wall-mountable holder to keep your blocks off the bench and always within reach.

  • More in Every Set: 6 blocks per set = more support for larger workpieces compared to standard 4-piece sets.

Perfect For:

  • Woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and furniture builders

  • Guitar makers & luthiers

  • DIYers and shop pros who demand more from their tools

Set Includes:

  • 6 Gecko Blocs

  • 1 Wall-Mountable Storage Holder

  • Materials: Custom-molded silicone (non-slip, waterproof, glue-proof)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game-Changer for My Woodworking & Guitar Repairs

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Gecko Bloc Set, but wow—these things are awesome. The moment I picked them up, I could tell they were high quality. The solid silicone has just the right amount of grip without being too soft, and they hold my workpieces in place perfectly. No more awkwardly stacking scrap wood or struggling to keep things from moving while sanding or routing.

I've already used them for a couple of repairs, and they worked flawlessly. I used them to prop up a guitar while gluing the back together, and they provided just the right amount of stability without slipping. They also came in handy when changing strings—I used them to keep the guitar in place so it wouldn’t shift around.

I also love how versatile they are. You can flip them in different orientations, and they work for everything from edge sanding to glue-ups. Plus, they’re super easy to clean—glue, oil, and dust just wipe right off.

Honestly, this is one of those products where you don’t realize how much you need them until you use them. If you do any kind of woodworking—or even guitar repairs—just get them—you won’t regret it.

Wow, what a fantastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and we're so happy you love them. Kind regards Gio.

Where have these been all my life?

I'm a guitar builder, but also a woodworker. These are such a gamechanger, and the idea to include 6 is so smart.

I needed to rip some OSB sheets last weekend where I'd normally try to hang an edge off a workbench, and prop up the other half on boxes - inevitably they'd start to fold in the middle along the cut binding the blade. But with the Gecko Blocks, I just put 3 on one side, 3 on the other all at the highest position and ripped the wood in seconds.

I'll be using these for guitar building too shortly, and I'd say just about every wood working product I can conceive of. Anyone I've shown them to that's been used to traditional bench cookies sits for a moment and they all say 'Why hasn't anyone done something like this before?'.

If you're considering them, just stop thinking. Add them to your cart, get them delivered. The best upgrade your workshop will have had in years is a few clicks away.

Thank so much for your kind words and review, we're so glad that you love these!

Great product!

I love these blocks! The ability to have three height options is great. I have many different size clamps that require different space to allow room. These bench blocks seem indestructible. That is a really good thing for me, because I could tear up a steel I-beam with a rubber mallet. These are soft enough to not scratch up the gloss finish on my guitar builds, but tough enough to use them with the toughest materials you can imagine.

Thank so much for taking the time to write a review, it is much appreciated!
