Grabber Reacher Tool, [Updated Version] Long 32” Steel Foldable Pick Up Stick with Strong Grip Magnetic Tip for Store Shelves, Lightweight Trash Picker Claw Reacher Grabber Tool for Elderly - by Luxet

Good grab, sturdy and light weight! I was intrigue w/ the idea in the description to use it for changing light bulbs, much better than grabbing a chair/stepper around and going up & down. However, when I tried it, I found it needs some "add-ons". The grabber by itself can loosen a light bulb, but it's not very secure in holding a loose lightbulb when turning it. It's also awkward/challenging to turn for full revolution while pressing the handle for grab. I improvised with some simple add-ons as shown in the picture. (1) velcro strip to secure the grab, freeing up the hands for rotating it (2) transparent "cup" from chinese take-out box as safety net to catch the light bulb in case. I used velcro again so it can be removed. (3) to install a light bulb, it is not as easy to keep it straight in place, so I use a foam cup to help. [Update:] actually using foam tubing over the flat tips addresses (3) way better! Like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXVPY53/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .

I purchased this when I broke my leg and could not bend over to retrieve things. This device is amazing. I could easily use it to ‘grab’ ANYTHING. It would grab and hold anything: a shirt that had fallen to the floor or a Q-tip. Yes! It is sensitive enough and easy enough to operate to pick up very small objects, too. I recently had to move my office from one room in my home to another where I reinstalled my computer, printer, and miscellaneous electronic office items. I had to set up surge protectors, plug in the electronics, and position them behind desks and file cabinets. The Grabber Reacher Tool was a HUGE help in doing this, never failing to snag, hold, and move anything I wanted. This is a great help for a variety of situations.

The 32-inch length gives me plenty of reach, making it easy to grab items from high shelves or deep corners without having to stretch or bend over. One of the standout features is the strong grip and magnetic tip. The grip is firm and reliable, perfect for picking up everything from small items to larger objects. The magnetic tip is a nice touch, especially for picking up metal items like keys or small screws that might otherwise be tricky to handle. The tool is surprisingly lightweight, which makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. The foldable design is also a huge plus; it’s easy to store away when not in use, which is great for keeping my space clutter-free. My only minor issue is that the folding mechanism can be a bit stiff at first, but it loosens up with use. Also, while the magnetic tip is handy, it’s not strong enough for very heavy items.

I bought 3 of these (one for each level of my townhouse) when I was forbidden from bending for 6 weeks after my back surgery. These work great. They are lightweight, but strong, and can even pick tiny objects off the floor (e.g., a single Cheerio). Highly recommend.

I bought this because my back pain makes it hard to pick things up off the floor sometimes. This tool is a game changer. It lets you pick things up as long as they are not too heavy or a weird shape. For example, it will not pick up a wet bath towel higher than my knee, but that's ok because I can reach it better than without the tool. The quality is ok. If you squeeze hard, it doesn't feel like it will increase the strength. The tool itself doesn't feel flimsy, it seems like it will last many years. It does the job for things like picking up my clothes off the floor and putting them in a hamper. It is fun to use, too. You'll be picking things up just because you have this grabber.

As the advertising says, yes the tube of this grabber is steel, but the handle assembly and grabber end is a thin, hard plastic that doesn't feel durable at all. Additionally, there is some sort of rubber on the back of the grip that feels tacky and unpleasant to hold. Some people may like that because it does keep the hand grip from slipping around in your hand, but I dislike the feel of it. Add that to the disturbing "Screeeeee!" sound it makes every time I squeeze the trigger (which sends my dog into a frenzy) and I'm not impressed. Now for a few neutral observations that may help others decide if it's right for them: The advertised "90 degree rotation" at the end works by you pulling the end outward, manually rotating it to the next "catch point", and pushing the end back down to seat it in the new position. That works pretty well, and once it's set, it stays. The magnet, which is a little peg on one outer side of the claw, is strong enough to pick up nail clipper, but not sewing scissors. A house key, but not a set of keys. The claw/grabber will pick up an adult shirt or pair of pants, but not a can of soda. A television remote control, but not an iPad.

These are so well made and functional! I got the set for a relative who has mobility and pain issues, and they're amazing! You can actually pick up tiny things (even coins), as well as larger items. The two-pack is convenient for keeping them in different parts of the house or to put one in the car. They also fold up nicely, so they're not awkward to carry around while you shop. I highly recommend these for anyone who has a loved one recovering from surgery or whose health puts limitations on their mobility. It opened up a world of access for my relative, and we're both thrilled.

I like the ability to pick up things I drop on the floor ((I cannot bend over or squat down). It also helps me get clothes from the bottom of the dirty clothes hamper. It can also be used to get some things off the upper shelves in the kitchen. It’s foldable which is nice. It also has a magnetic tip to pick up small metal objects - not coins, however, as they are not magnetic. The price is good for a two-pack. I would buy again.

OK for light pickups but lacks grip strengthening for heavier items

Buscaba algo eléctrico o automático por problemas de debilidad pero me auxilia en mis actividades diarias. Útil.

Good reaching product for hard to reach rubbish hanging in the bushes

This product broke very easily and I paid around £35 for it... The plastic part that joins the 2 bars together is weak and it cracked as soon as I used the grabber for lifting something light weight off the floor. I requested a return and the seller did accept this. The only major problem is that the barcode that they sent me to affix to the parcel is so small that it's not worth trying to print it out. The other barcode that goes into the box (for the seller to see who returned it) is far bigger. The seller also don't specify where I should take the parcel for return. It seems they've deliberately given me a small barcode so that I have to send this product back to them myself (because they also say that I can send it back to their address in America but that way I will need to pay for the return purchase). This is a joke because I live in the UK and the postage will cost about half the price of the product... So I will have no choice but to keep this product and repair it myself. I'm really disappointed because for the cost of this product, I'd expect it to designed stronger...

Good product very sturdy and good grip strength.
