Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Tools 70mm Mini Suction Cup is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who need a reliable way to handle small, delicate, or awkward items safely. Its primary benefit is the 5kg lifting capacity, which provides a secure grip for materials like glass, tiles, and acrylic without causing surface damage. While highly effective for its intended scale, users should note that it is limited to lightweight objects and is not suitable for heavy industrial lifting or porous surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use this on wood surfaces?
No, suction cups require a non-porous surface like glass, tile, or metal to maintain a vacuum.
What is the maximum weight it can hold?
The maximum lifting capacity is 5kg.
Will this leave marks on my glass?
The soft rubber pad is designed to be non-marring, provided the surface is clean.
Is this tool suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it can be used outdoors, but ensure the surface is dry and clean for a reliable suction seal.
How do I know when the suction is secure?
You should feel a firm resistance when engaging the handle, and the cup should remain securely attached when you apply a light tug.
Troubleshooting
Suction cup fails to grip surface.
Clean both the rubber pad and the surface with a lint-free cloth to ensure there is no dust or oil interfering with the seal.
The handle keeps popping up.
Ensure the surface is completely flat and non-porous; verify that you are not exceeding the 5kg load limit.
The rubber pad is losing its shape.
Store the tool on a flat surface rather than letting it rest on the rubber pad when not in use, and keep away from extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, press the suction cup firmly against the clean, dry surface and push down the locking handle to engage the vacuum. Always test the hold before lifting the object fully. Compatibility is limited to flat, clean, non-porous surfaces; it will not work on wood, fabric, or heavily textured stone. To maintain the tool, wipe the rubber pad with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber from drying out or losing its elasticity.
