47" Extra Heavy Duty Snake Tongs Reptile Grabber Catcher Wide Jaw Handling Tool

Excellent sturdy quality and it works! We found my dogs harassing a venomous Copperhead. My boyfriend was able to easily grab the snake and place him into a large plastic tote. The grabber was very effective and the length was long enough to keep him safe. Snake was set free in a wooded area. And my yard is safer for my dogs. I love all animals and never want to hurt them but I do have to keep my yard safe for my own pets and myself. There aren't many options out there to humanely catch and release snakes but this does the job.

I have used the 47 inch (1.2 m) snake tongs/grabber on several 3 to 5 foot (0.9 to 1.5 m) constrictors and on another 4 foot (1.2 m) rattlesnake, but bought this longer version because I wanted to see if the longer reach was beneficial. It certainly is.It was great having the extra few inches between the rattlesnake and myself. 52 inches (1.3 m) is fairly long, and so might be a bit awkward for shorter people or people with shorter arms, but I can't say for certain. My wife, who is 5'6" (1.7 m), didn't want to try using the tongs/grabber. Or depending on the size/weight of the snake, it might require someone to steady it with their other hand, but I'm 6'2" (1.9 m) and it wasn't a giant snake so it worked fine one-handed for me.It is all stainless steel and seems very sturdy and well-built while still being lightweight. The handle has a rubber sleeve for a good grip. The cable and spring seem very strong and durable. It also came with an extra cable, ferrules, and spring. It DOES NOT LOCK. The only thing keeping the snake held is you squeezing the trigger. The description does not say that it locks, but people often ask or just assume that they lock.I would definitely recommend the 52 inch snake tongs/grabber, but the 47 inch version is equally well made and worked great as well.

I purchased this extra long snake stick because we get some large Diamondback Rattlesnakes here in West Texas. I wanted an additional safety edge provided by the longer length of this unit. I had two Rattlers in my back yard just before purchasing this unit but I have not had any since obtaining these tongs, yet. I have practiced using it on rubber snakes and I am convinced that it will work very well on an actual rattlesnake. The jaws on the stick work very smoothly and are also easy to operate. The stainless steel main cylindrical staff is very rigid and durable with extra thickness walls. I am most confident that it will work well on the larger snakes and keep me a safer distance from their heads. As a fringe benefit it came with an extra cable and spring.

We live in the desert southwest and after seeing several snakes in our backyard I figured I should get something to deal with them.This snake pole is exactly as described in the description. For me personally, this product's best feature also tends to be my one sticking point with it.I love the length of the pole (in the fact that it keeps you away from the snake). The problem here is not so much with the product but with physics. If you are picking up a bigger snake, because the snake is so far away from you on the end of the pole, its fairly heavy and makes moving the snake (once caught) more difficult. I found that I needed to use a second hand on the pole, not handle, to control it (thus bringing my second hand closer to the snake). In the end however I was able to get the snake in the bucket, just didn't expect the above issue.The product works as described, just be aware of the above. Overall im glad I bought it.

Works Great. Buy longer length.

OK so I've been buying those plastic grabbers from Walmart, and pharmacies over the years to pick things up that are out of reach. After a while they wear out or break - they are cheaply made, but yet expensive - and I finally got fed up with that trash and got this one. Let me just say this thing does the job! There is no plastic on it at all, it's literally a steel tube with an aluminum cable attached to the metal handle - very simplistic. It even comes with spare parts! Idk the other reviews definitely didn't lie about this one, it's heavy duty as one can get. Really nice weight and size too, it's sturdy for sure. I highly recommend this one if you are on the fence about it like I was, definitely not disappointed especially for the price!

Well made and all metal also comes with extra replacement parts. It has a real strong grin, it should hold snakes with no problem.

Works on snakes well
