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

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...

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 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 .

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

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.
