 I Love it! December 1, 2008
I am in a wheel chair and I love this. I can reach things that are high and pick up things that are on the floor. I bought more than one so I can have them handy!
My 3rd hand! November 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this comment useful.
About 3 weeks after my hip replacement and unable to bend down completely, I began to use what I call "the grabber". At first it seemed awkward, but in time, I began to challenge what "the grabber" and I could do. We were able to grab cleaning products from the lower cabinet, dust furniture with the dust cloth attached to "the grabber", grab canned goods from the lower cabinets (I never used "the grabber" for anything above my head.), pick up items that I would clumsily drop to the floor, and pull up my pants while getting dressed. It has become my 3rd arm, and it has allowed me to do far more than I would have been able to do. Thank you, "grabber"!
Perfect for back patients November 9, 2008
This reacher was recommended to my husband by his PT after his L5-S1 fusion surgery. It's quite the handy little device. He uses it to grab produce out of the bottom crisper in the fridge, pick up dropped pens or paper, and to close the door of our car without twisting his back.
The curved grabber part has a grooved tip and it meets a flat edge with ridged rubber on it, giving it a fairly good grip on even rather slippery items. The small magnetic tip at the end will pick up very small metal items (think bottle caps) but fails at anything bigger. The other side has a little metal post, about 3/4" long, that serves as a fixed hook. It looks pretty small but hangs onto more than you'd think. Oh, and the pistol-grip handle has a hole in the butt--string a large cable tie through it to serve as a loop to help pick it up when it's dropped.
The 32" length is good for a man of average height (5'10" to 6')... for a short man or an average woman, the 26" version would probably be a better length. Medical supply houses carry it, but Amazon is cheaper, and delivered it in just a few days. It's been an indispensable device during his recovery, well worth the price.
An essential tool September 6, 2008
I love this tool so much so that when I lost mine, I immediately when online and bought two more, to use in different rooms. I found the one I thought I had lost and gave it to a friend. I have used these for years and years. I wouldn't be without it. I use it a minimum of four times per day. Christine
it's the cat's review August 25, 2008
product - they have become absolutely indispensable (I bought two, one for the kitchen, one for the bedroom) especially on a morning like today with my back tied up in knots
service - A OK
