Default Suction cups-Calgary

Hi all. I am looking for a place in Calgary that will rent out suction cups. Anyone know of a place for that? I heard somewhere that Home Depot rents them. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Rob

You mean for carrying glass? I never found any true glass carriers for rental, but pretty much all of the rental places I called did carry the appliance carrier ones. These ones are only one large suction cup, with a handle and a little squeeze trigger for creating the vacuum. Look up A to Z rental, but really just about any of them should have those.

Only thing is you're not "supposed" to use those for glass although they do work. The true glass ones use at least three suctions cups or something like that. In my case we rented two of them. We lifted the aquarium off the stand with them; then we grabbed under the tank from then on.

yeah, that's what we need! They should work-glass is smother than appliances. As long as a few sets of hands are under the tank as well, they should work!
Thanks
