Have to use both - GM for single or first grip - have to use grip cone for 2nd grip as it gets caught on the GM one

Much harder than it looks mate - At least I made it look that way!

I tried this the other year, ended up ripping my grip when I have swearing and furiously trying to get the bag out. Used a cone or gm applicator since, I agree the gm is a bit ropey but I managed to fit a shock absorba with a gm control over the top of it with a bit of effort.

The plastic bag is easy enough if you only have one grip on your bat, Too much friction if you are one on top of an existing rubber.

Best one out there for me is the Kwik Grip (available from Aswani), same principle as the GM, but much more robust, and significantly easier to use.

Can put most grips (except the dreaded octopus) on in seconds, and has the added attraction of starting many Austin Powers manhood-pump gags!

GM one is good for more stretchy type grips, but the thicker the grip the less effective ( and impossible with an octopus)

 Also tough when applying second grip (particularly if the handle is 'thick')....

(I have yet to find a tool that an octopus can use to apply grips to 8 bats simultaneously however it must be said)

Cone is really simple - but personally it seems to stretch the grip somewhat and is a pain in the ass to get it to the right length.

Probably my ineptitude however rather thn the tool !!
