Cone is more versatile. You will find there are certain grips that you can't use with the GM applicator as they don't stretch far enough.

Gm ones are rubbish. Never worked properly. I use a traditional cone when at games Etc but made an electric vacuum one for at home. Grip fitted in seconds with little to no adjustments

Given how rubbish the GM grip applicator is, I always end up going back to the cone.

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!

Cool, Thanks.

One more quick question for you guys.

Is it better to have metal at the bottom of the cone or no difference?

If its the see through one, then it's easily the best one!
I've had mine for 4 or 5 years and its still excellent!
The only grips it struggles with are the octopus ones!

I use the GM pump applicator.

A doddle to use.

The only problem is the GM Control grips I use. They are a right (insert as required) to get on. TBH I think they would be difficult with a traditional cone.

There was a great demo on here using a plastic bag - looked a doddle!
