Homecraft Pick Up Reacher, Standard Grabber Stick, Extension Grabber with full Grasp Trigger, Grabber Tool for Elderly, Disabled and Handicapped Users, 24 inches, 61 cm - Retail Packed

As a power chair user a grabber is an essential accessory. This is easily the best and most robust I've used. The smallest length one is a manageable size to carry around but still provides enough reach to necessitate its usage at least three or four times daily.True I have a pretty strong grip which you need to grab anything heavier than a piece of toast landed jam side down but the pistol grip extends through the top which provides additional leverage if you need it.

This product is perfect for what i need, it is just the right height for me to pick up anything i drop without needing to bend. The grip is comfortable and the trigger easy. The only issue I have is with packaging, the grabber came in a massive box and i had to search through the paper in the box to find it. For something like this it was serious overkill on the box size and i would recommend Amazon look into improving this in the future. Other than the packaging, the grabber is 5 star.

I bought 3 different reachers for after my hip replacement and this was the best because both sides of the jaws are lined with rubber and everything is contained inside the stem. It is the strongest of the reachers I bought and also the most accurate at picking up tricky objects. If you only buy one buy this. Ignore the gimmicks on others like magnets and shoe horns because they don't work very well. This keeps it simple and gets the job done.

UPDATE: I've had two of these fail now. The plastic "teeth" that are used on the ratchet mechanism simply use too soft a plastic, which gradually wears down and starts to slip, meaning the grabber arms fail to close. Both have failed within 3-6 months of purchase. I can't recommend these until the design is fixed and a better quality of plastic used.Nice long reach but still manages to be quite nice and lightweight so easy to use. Reasonably well constructed and uses steel cable rather than nylon cord for the drawstring, so should be quite robust/long lasting. Cable runs internally too unlike some other brands so again should last a long while and not prone to snagging. Rivets used for hinges are a little cheap so there is some "play" in the jaws meaning its not ideal for grabbing heavier objects and not as robust as it could be. The jaws are lined with rubber for better grip on items which is great. One design problem is that the magnets on the gripper ends are not attached very well, they are just "interference fit" in the rubber and very loosely fitted - one had already come off and gone missing when the item was delivered and the other was half slid out and doubtless will be lost soon too - needs fixing as a design issue. Other than that, very impressed with this for the money - its simple and easy to use, a good length and good value - just wish it was engineered to a slightly higher standard and it would be perfect.

I like the length able 2 reach from afar.It has been good for most things but definitely not all.My one before this folded good function especially for taking out.This one is not as strong as my previous one strength wise for grabbing, pulling etc.The grip is ok mostly.Also, a bit annoying but sometimes the handle turns and unable to lock or unlock my door or drawers.I'm not always able to due to this so suggestion would be fixed handle so it doesn't turn better grip maybe resolve the strength issues and if offered a folding design that would be a better option for me anyway.

When gripper arrived it did not work so I dismantled the ‘grabber’ part and put it back together. It is ok now but shouldn’t be this flimsy for the price

This is the second of these I’ve bought so that I can one in another room.I have problems with mobility and find it hard to bend to pick things up from the floor, so this grabber is perfect for me.It picks things up with precision due to the tips meeting exactly, it has a lovely long reach and is easy to use.Highly recommended.

This broke straight away when I used it the teeth on the plastic are terrible on this specific one
