 Loved it ... October 20, 2008
I was a little taken back when the carton arrived because it was HUGE! I'm sure they could have found a smaller box to ship it in. Anyway, I gave this product as a gift and the recipient LOVED it.
 Disappointed October 18, 2008
I purchased this product because the advertising suggested that it was a higher quality than most and it had the locking feature that I thought would help due to my arthritis - but I was disappointed with the gripping power - it does not maintain a good grip on heavier items such as food jars etc - most disappointing was the locking mechanism - it locks but does not unlock with out having to manually open the jaws - the levers on the handle intended to release the item held only worked a few times - now they do not. It is more trouble to return than it is worth it so I will find one in a store that I can actually test. Hopefully, my particular reacher was defective and others will not have the same problem.
Not bad at all October 15, 2008
PikStik Pro Alluminum Reacher 32 inch is just what I expected a quality light weight device! I was so happy I decided to buy two more but at 42 inches. Unfortunately, it was too long and hard to use! The 32 inch is ideal for the daily routine chores around the house. Especially when you have a new 50lb 6 months choc. labador.

Product performed exceptionally well. Able to pick up small piece of lettuce off kitchen floor.
Total Garbage! September 11, 2008
I had back surgery a few years ago, and I have used just about every "grabber" made and the PikStick is by far the worst I've used. It states that it can pickup items up to 5 lbs, fact of the matter is that the PikStick has a very hard time picking up anything over 1 lb. The grasping tips are rubber and grab things well (like paper and very light/small items), the problem is that it can't lift (no torque on the jaws) items like a shirt, canned goods, a soda, dropped utensils..... I spent 5 minutes trying to pick up a fork the other morning! The arms are too weak and are easily bent out of alignment. If you are in need of a reacher/ grabber, get one with the suction cups on the ends, or the ones physical therapy sell you with the one moving jaw/magnet on the end. Don't waste your time and money on a product that will disappoint.
