RMSFeatherweight The Original Reacher 2-Pack (26-inch)

My sister had a stroke and she needed a lightweight easy to use tool. This one is fabulous. It even has a place on the top that you can hook on the clothes on the floor and pick them up. It is lightweight but sturdy and you only have to use a finger on the trigger. You don’t have to close the whole handle, which made it easier for her. And they came to it apart so I have one as well. Awesome.

I got these when I broke my arm. It was nice to receive 2 of them and I like how long they are. I use them both constantly and they're still working perfectly after 6 months. They can pick up the tiniest things and they even have a little magnet on the the very tip which I've also used.

Very helpful as it is difficult to bend or stretch to reach or pickup articles. This solves that problem.

Having very serious back problems after 40 years of surgeries and worsening health, this was something I badly needed. I already had what my wife and I colloquially refer to as one 'reacher,' so this was a potential replacement in case the other gave up the ghost. Aside from that, I needed another anyway, so I didn't need to carry the other around with me (on the rare occasion I actually go somewhere else inside my home). The one I already owned we bought at a medical supply shop and it is sturdy and very handy. I can pick up a dropped pill or an opened 16oz bottle of water with equal ease (and no spills on the latter). Unfortunately, this new 'reacher' isn't that sturdy. It will pick up a single dropped pill, but it isn't at all designed for grabbing or lifting something as heavy as a 16oz drink. I also can't use it for something like a magazine or small book. On the positive side however, one handy feature I discovered completely by accident (the product comes with no documentation of any kind) is one of those powerful, small magnets installed in the very front of the main aluminium spar. With it, I've picked up a junior-sized Swiss army knife (not the normal, pocket-sized version I carry around with me) I keep handy for quick use by either of us. Anything lightweight and rounded is a cinch to snag, even small bottles of paint, such as Apple Barrel 2oz craft paints). Square items aren't too bad either, so long as they're lightweight, and as mentioned, it will also pick up small metallic objects magnetically. I only needed one, but at this price, the two I received were just a lagniappe with the purchase. My wife keeps one on her side of the couch, and I the same, as well as beside my desk and modeling work area. The simple long screw that protrudes from the top may look strange and ungainly, but it proves quite useful too. With it, I can move objects around, an example of which would be to reach behind an object (such as a heavy book on the floor) and use the protruding screw to drag it near enough for me to pick up by hand. All in all, a useful and handy product for the price, although the old saw holds true: you get what you pay for. For something a bit more rugged and able to lift heavier objects, another, more expensive product will be necessary. If your needs are mostly lightweight (which really seems to be the case for my wife and I, the majority of the time), this will do the job. It's not great, but it's not bad at all, which accounts for the four-star rating. An adequate, inexpensive product that does the job most of time, and hey, you get two! :-)

These came last night..and I’m wowed.I have a shorter version from the hospital..but these are a longer size and have a clip to attach to my cane. My restrictions on bending and reaching are strict and in place for a while due to both a hip replacement and a muscle tear repair. I wanted an extra grabber (and a longer reach), because the one have is never where I need it. This can be snapped onto the cane and makes a hugely useful tool always handy. Advise ordering BEFORE your surgery. Also..I’m short. Under 5’ so see this as handy in everyday life even without surgery!

Work great, sturdy, love these

This grabber holds on to items very well. I have to reach food items stored on a top shelf and this grabber does not allow items to drop!! I have one that is for the kitchen only!!

Garber works good but the small yellow clips for clipping it to some else ( walker, wheel chair, or anything))else broke in about week

They work OK the magnet is not the strongest, but can lift small objects. As with most most grabbers, it’s hard to pick paper up off the floor, but it works well with things that have contours.

Please do yourselves a favour and don't buy any other garbage. After breaking about 10 plastic pieces-of-crap that I bought from the local shops, I bought the original grabber. Which is this one. that 12 about 6 years ago. Simple design that just lasts. Mainly because of the simple sting-pull-design; and the fact that the actual shaft is made out of reinforced aluminium channel. If you buy this product, it will LAST.

After breaking any number of competitor grabbers which always fail at the plastic mechanism pieces, I have gone back to buying these. The part that matter are housed within an aluminium channel, and - as a result - don't wear out. It can't be over-strained no matter how strong your hand strength. Can pick up things twice as heavy as any other grabber I have bought. And, I have bought a few. You can go for the cheap rubbish that won't last out a year, or get these. The oldes one I have of these is so old, I can't even remember when I bought it. And still going strong.

Love these I now have 4 given I struggle to pick things up off the floor now due to dodgy joints. One each for couch, kitchen/dining, bedroom and car. I just wish I’d thought to get one of these for the car years ago! Plus they can pick up tiny pills if you drop them, really accurate. You can also glue a stronger magnet to hang them on things, there is a little hole you could tie some string through to hang it also.
