FTH Grabber 48"

This grabber feels sturdy and durable with a solid grip. It’s easy to use and works great for trash pickup. Very satisfied with the quality and performance. Thanks

My boyfriend loves grabbers and has me sold in them too. When I’m tired it’s so much easier to pick up the debris that’s blown into the yard after a storm or pick up the clothes off the bathroom floor (let’s be real. After taking the hamper out of the bathroom to do laundry it takes at least a week for it to get back in there right? No? Just me?). Now the problem is my boyfriend should really be a durability tester for… well everything. He seems to be just going about life normally but somehow his shoes, clothes, phones (don’t get me started on the phones) and yes grabbers don’t last more than a couple months. Honestly with the grabbers we’re lucky if they last a month. Now those grabbers aren’t cheap to replace every month or two and it’s been draining the bank. Then I saw this beautiful, durable, work of art. I told him if this one didn’t last, we were going to have to develop one ourselves because we couldn’t afford to keep replacing them. This is the real deal. It worked so well for him that I bought a second one for myself. It’s super lightweight so I end up carrying it around because I forget I’m holding it. You would think with something as light as this is that it would bend or break with pressure, but I was able to lift and move a gallon of milk from where it fell (long story) up and over a fence, across the yard, up the stairs, and into the house. This thing didn’t bat an eye at the weight and the grip it so easy to maintain, my hand didn’t even cramp up doing it. My hand usually cramps up carrying the gallon from the car to the stairs so the fact that it was easier to use this grabber than carry it by hand amazed me. The only thing I would change about this miracle of a device is to add rubber to the teeth because trying to pick up anything metal that’s round with it is like trying to catch a greased pig. It’ll slip and slide on it. I used some electrical tape on the tips on mine and it solved that issue. This device is worth not just its weight but also my weight in gold. We have gone through dozens of grabbers that all failed the boyfriend durability test. This is the only one that passed. I’m going to have to order a couple more so my kids stop stealing mine. Parents if you have teenagers who act like picking up their room is cruel and unusual punishment, this is a game-changer. My teens who would have to be coerced into picking up their room by changing the wifi password, now steal my grabber to pick up their room without having to be asked. There are also different lengths to choose from which is amazeballs because I’m short and the longer grabbers are unwieldy and awkward for me (my boyfriend prefers the longer ones which makes sense since he’s taller). This is very likely the best thing I’ve purchased in years. Buy it. You can thank me later.

This is a great grabber except for on thing, the handle. Can you pick up logs for a fire, not large ones, but smaller ones yes. Can you pick up twigs, frogs, snakes, or anything else, pretty much. If you try to overdo it though, the plastic handle flexes at the pivot point and I can see that being a point of failure in the future if this is used regularly for heavier lifting. Now with all that said, it is great for general work around the property. I use it primarily for removing twigs, and leaf bouquets that get stuck in the fence when I working with the leaf blower, and for clearing debris on walks with the dogs on our woodland trails. It has a clam shell type of jaw mechanism with teeth. All metal and the two halves mesh together well. Enough to snatch even the smallest of snakes (without harm) from the rock gardens in our yard. I'm an average height guy with average length arms so I like that I don't have to bend over for any of this like I was with traditional pincher type grabbers. This is way more efficient too because when you're picking up a lot of items on trails while walking dogs it allows you time to see it, and grab it without stopping to do it. I hope the handle never breaks but if it does, I will attempt to repair it. It's a great value if you need to constantly pick up things while wearing a heavy backpack leaf blower without falling over.

Absolutely an amazing item. Use it every time. I’m on my lawnmower to pick up sticks. .. easy gripper it picks up everything very easily

I finally broke down and purchased this grabber after breaking many of the cheap, $10 and $15 plastic ones. The cheap grabbers that ship about a foot long and then you have to unfold and lock into place. After about four of those in a year, I realized I could have just purchased one of these. This grabber is definitely a massive improvement. It's all metal (except for the plastic handle) with very strong tongs on the bottom. They are much stronger than the other grabbers with a wider surface area and teeth. No rubber coatings here. I could easily pick up a can of soup with it without it slipping out of my grasp. My only complaints about it are I wish you could turn the head as you can on the other cheap grabbers. The head on this grabber is permanently stationary. That, and I wish the handle was bent instead of just being straight. But those minor issues aside, I foresee this one lasting much longer than any of my other grabbers so far. It's definitely an improved step up in strength and durability.

I have a compression fracture in my back And was told by my doctor not to bend over too much or lift more than 10 pounds. My yard needs major cleanup with sticks, small branches and rocks. I didn’t really want to wait six months until my back completely healed to be able to clean things up so I got this grabber too do yard cleanup. It actually works really well, grab sticks, small branches, most of the rocks that I need to pick up. At first I thought it was a little lightweight but after using it for a while I can tell why, it should not be any heavier and that works just fine. My biggest complaint is the handle. It’s just not very comfortable, my hand gets fatigued very quickly. It needs more padding, and needs to be a different shape or design or something. It’s very small so I can’t imagine someone with a large hand trying to use it. I will end up trying to modify it in someway to make it more comfortable for my hand, put some padding on there, increase the size or something. It also feels like the actual clamp should face in a slightly different direction. I have The extenders from Costco that I used to pick up things around the house and those seem to be just perfect. At least for what they’re intended for. This one seems to have the orientation of the clamps slightly off. It would be nice if you could actually rotate it and Lock it in place. It’s not cheap so I feel that for $50 it needs some work. So, while it works as intended, it could really use some design help on the handle And the orientation of the actual clamp itself.

First, I recently got the Classic Pit Barrel Cooker (cPBC), and I was looking for tongs or a grabber to put charcoal in the cPBC, when I needed to add more charcoal as the food was cooking. This FTH Stainless Steelgrabber (FTHSSG), advertised as the 40 inch version, allowed me to put the charcoal directly in the charcoal bin of the cPBC easily, without me having to manually remove the hanging food, the rebars of the cPBC, and the charcoal bin. The FTHSSG allowed me to easily place the charcoal directly onto the cPBC charcoal bin and load the charcoal. Before I got the FTHSSG when I needed to load the cPBC charcoal bin with more charcoal, in order to bypass the hassle removing the hanging food, rebars, cooking grate to get at the charcoal bin, I'd be like a basketball player and try to toss the charcoal so that it would miss the hanging food, and drop into the charcoal bin, which can be a pain if your aim is not good and the charcoal misses the bin. Today (7/30/2023), I cooked ribs in the cPBC, and I needed to add more charcoal to the cPBC (I've been trying to use as little charcoal as possible, in order to save money). I took out the FTH Stainless Steel Grabber, and the FTHSSG was skinny, light, maneuverable enough to allow me to deftly drop charcoal between the hanging ribs and into the charcoal bin, without any problems at all. I was not only able to drop the charcoal accurately into the cPBC charcoal bin, but I was able to re-arrange the charcoal so that the hot, white charcoal was facing up and under the ribs. I'm happy with the FTHSSG. It's sturdy enough for the task that I've given it. Second, my FTHSSG is not exactly 40. inches long. I measured it, and it's 39 inches. I read some reviews complaining that the FTHSSG was under the advertised length. However, you have to take into consideration the concept of "significant digits," which is usually taught in high school chemistry. If you've forgotten what significant digits means, then you can google "significant digits" or you can look for youtube videos on significant digits for an in-depth explanation of what "significant digits" is all about. But if you were to take significant digits into consideration and since the length was advertised as "40" and not "40." or "40.0," then the 40 inches means it was rounded off to the nearest tens. Thirty-nine (39) was rounded off to forty (40). Therefore, the FTHSSG was advertised correctly. Just saying.

Keep these near, father stole and bent one, seems weak, lacking a full jacket I would have liked to use these for pottery raku, guess I have to just make my own.
