Grabber Reacher Tool 32 Grabbers for Elderly Lightweight Extra Long Handy Trash Claw Grabber Mobility Aid Reaching Assist

I'm going through some physical challenges right now and find it hard to get to things I drop on the floor (which is often!) and these work really well for me. I ordered a 3 pack, one for each level of my home. I've experimented with them and find them easy to use and quite good at picking up even the smallest items. They seem to be of good quality for the price. I will update if durability is an issue. Read more

Perfect for easily picking up things off the ground during pregnancy! Came in a box slightly disassembled, but all I had to do was click the pole together then it was ready to use. The mechanism that connects the handle to the grabber is made of wire so it seems durable and sturdy. Read more

The photos show the 2 grabbers that I purchased yesterday from Amazon Prime. The Pikstik is an exact replacement for the one I have had for many years now. The folding one I bought from Amazon Prime as well. I drive a mobility scooter and I have had the Pikstik unit secured across the top of the tiller and would perfectly set behind my 2 rear view mirrors and secured with 2 small clips. When I would spot something that would be a road hazard to cars by getting picked up by a moving vehicle and shot into a passing vehicle or a vehicle following it, I would swoop in and grab the object off the street and then place it off the road or if small enough I would toss it into the trash bag that I carry with me. I use the grabber almost every time I take the scooter out for a ride. I also have a 30” extension magnet for the metal objects that I find in the road like lug nuts, screws, nails, construction staples, hubcaps and items that I don’t know what they are. As a retired Army veteran, I used to be a helicopter mechanic and crew chief on Huey’s and unfortunately I was involved in an incident where a piece of metal was picked up and thrown into my tail rotor as the pilot lifted off the tarmac. The object destroyed the tail rotor causing the craft to spin out of control and the pilot had to slam us down HARD which caused horrific damage and injury to the pilot. I was lucky enough to only sustain minor injury. The one BIG rule that was always talked about was F. O. D. (Foreign Object Damage). Any object that is on the ground is a potential hazard to any aircraft so major attention is focused on making sure that no FOD is on the tarmac. The same applies to roads and streets and anywhere that vehicles travel. An object can be picked up by the tread of a vehicle and either right then or maybe later when that vehicle is on the highway or freeway and has enough speed going that the object stuck in the tread of the tire suddenly lets go of it. This object can and does catapult out from the tire and can easily damage a vehicle that happens to be behind them. I have seen objects penetrate through windshields or strike the body of the vehicle causing serious damage/or injury. So in my small town, while out and about I take it upon myself to help remove potentially dangerous objects from the streets in our town. So enough of the FOD stuff. I have always had the Pikstik non folding grabber handy for me to use. So why did I also buy the folding one? Well I sometimes, rarely but sometimes I wished I had 2 grabbers to aid in some of the larger items that I find in the streets. The other day I somehow managed to snap one of the grabber legs off from a branch sticking out of a large bush. I attempted a JB Weld repair with somewhat less than stellar precision and decided to just purchase a new one. So here it is. The Pikstik has a price tag of around $25. The folding one was $10 on a 50% reduced price from $20. The photos show that other than the folding difference the 2 grabbers are identical. I will install the non folding one back where the broken one has been riding for years. The folding one has a little snap clamp that I have installed under the seat of my mobility scooter and I can access it easily when I need a second one to assist with the Pikstik. Both of these grabbers seem to work identically and equally. One $25. The other $9.95. Hummmm. Big difference in the price for what? I’m not sure. But I am sure that I needed to replace the broken one I have with the same. I haven’t used the folding one yet but I can tell that it will probably perform equally as well as the non folding one. My recommendation would be as follows…… Buy both of them and enjoy! I will! Now, I have 2 fur-babies that are ready to go for a ride today in “their” scooter. Hopefully I will try the folding one today. I will be posting this same review on both of the grabbers pages. Read more

I use this to grab stuff out of washing machine that I can’t reach in the base of the washer. This will only pick up a couple undergarments and two socks at a time. Gripper doesn’t lift much with a little weight. Quality is okay if picking up something as light as a feather! Read more

This actually works as advertised. It's quite helpful as I try to access items off a high shelf. I am surprised at how well this grips items and allows one to move items. Neither does it appear to be flimsy. I've used it several times, and each time, it's worked well. Good choice, especially for seniors! Read more

TL;DR: Lightweight, basic grabber that works as intended for everyday picking up, without any bells and whistles. I picked up this reacher tool mainly for grabbing items from high shelves and retrieving things that fall behind furniture. For that sort of light duty work, it performs acceptably well. The overall weight is low, so it is easy to handle even for longer sessions, and the 32 inch length provides a useful extension without feeling unwieldy. The trigger mechanism has a straightforward pull and returns cleanly, so repeated use does not fatigue the hand too quickly. The jaws have a modest rubberized surface that helps grip common household objects. It can handle things like plastic bottles, small boxes, clothing, and lightweight tools without trouble as long as you keep the load reasonable. I would not rely on it for heavy items, but that is expected at this price and design level. The rotating head feature is a nice touch in theory, though I tend to leave it in a single position for most tasks. Build quality is what I would describe as functional. There is some flex in the shaft if you push its limits, yet for picking up trash, reaching into tight spaces, or supporting someone who wants to avoid bending or stretching, it holds up. As with any user experience, this is only an opinion, not objective truth, since durability will depend on how hard and how often it is used. Overall, this is a straightforward, budget friendly reacher that gets the basic job done for typical home use. Thank you for reading my review here, I try to be helpful. Notify/write to me here on Amazon if you have any additional questions for me Read more

You get what you pay for. The pincers don't come together very well, but for the price I guess it's probably what I should have expected despite the raving reviews. Maybe the one I got wasn't very good. I'll probably be purchasing a different one soon. Read more

This was a lifesaver. I had a surgery where I couldn't bend down for over 6 months. I used this daily. Very light weight, pretty good grip strength and will even pick up a Q-tip off the ground. Read more
