FiskerProfessional Reacher Grabber Tool and Trash Picker, 38-inch

I got this for my 75 year old father who was looking for a way to pick up little branches and such in the yard without having to bend over. We had something like this but it was a dollar store one that was absolutely useless for anything heavier than an empty grocery bag.The Fisker was definitely the solution to his problem. He uses it often inside and out and it can handle items with some weight to them. At first I would have called this a bit on the expensive side for what it is but we've been using it for some time now and it does its job extremely well. There is no comparison between this and a cheap one. They fall apart and this one doesn't.I would highly recommend this and if it does give out I would very likely buy another.

We pick up litter in our neighborhood every so often. I have hated having to step down into the ditch, and pick up wet, cold things. This device keeps me out of the ditch and keeps my hands dry. It's strong enough to pickup full water bottles and dexterous enough to pick up cigarette butts. I couldn't ask for more.

I use this grabber mostly for picking up shotgun shells at the ranch. Works well. The force to open the jaws is a little inconsistent even after lubricating the moving parts. But for a healthy young individual this should be no problem. Sturdy construction. We bought two so when we walk the ranch we can pick up old beer cans and shells that that were left during hunting season. Yes we’re rednecks :)

Very easy to use, Well-built I’m hoping it will last a long time. I have used it to pick up credit cards that I dropped on the ground pills that fell on the floor. I have used it to move throw rugs that were out of place. Very useful highly recommended!

The Fisker grabber is made out of metal and is on the right in my photo. . In the photo the grabber on the left is primarily plastic which unhappily broke. The Fisker grabber seems to me to be solidly built and works well. Time will tell but my expectation is that it will hold up. It is as a little more expensive than the plastic one but not much more so in my opinion it was worth the extra cost.

This is a heavy duty well made tool but it ends there. First it's 48 inches long with that I put it in a special use category, 36 inches is all most people need. Second and most importantly there's a design flaw with the pickup arms, they are straight out from the tube,(should have a angle). Combined with the 48 inch length makes it some what difficult and uncomfortable to pick things up. Was easy to send back for refund. Ordered one that's 36 inches and perfect in all ways.

Very strong. This is my second pair. First pair broken by idiot friend.This grabber is 2 inches longer than most. That makes a really big difference if you're above average height.I'll come back for another pair if these get into the wrong hands again.
