EZPIK Pro 43" Foldable Grabber Reacher Tool for Seniors - Grabbers for Elderly Reaching Tool Heavy Duty Pickup Trash Picker Upper Equipment - Claw Grabber Stick for Reaching Aids, Weed Gripper

Easy to use and longer as well as a little more rugged than most of these devices, it seems to work very well. I like the fact that it folds up for taking it with you. Of course the grabber function doesn't work when it is folded up. I have an electrical outlet that is difficult to reach and I was able to grasp the plug with this grabber and plug it right in. The magnets in the claw end are also useful. It is a little more expensive than the other ones I have seen.

This worked extremely well for picking up glass wine and plastic liter bottles, cans, and cups. The grabber was strong enough to hold full wine and liter bottles. It would also close tight enough to pick up plastic cups. Being able to fold it up was very convenient for walking.

I have purchased (and tossed) so many of these grabbers I could probably fill a store. The grabbers fail or cannot pickup anything heavier than cloth. The pole breaks. There are a million reasons why they don't last. This one is different, it is sturdy, has a collapsible and reinforced pole and a grabber hand that is strong enough to actually grab something heavier than a tissue. You receive two of these in the box which is great (one for the kitchen and one for the garage). And because the pole is collapsible, you can store it easily. It is really well designed. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. And, I think this one is a keeper.

I got this to help with everyday uses for my wife who has arthritis in their hands. I tested it out myself to see if this would work for them. This is what I found: I was hoping for something that would make grabbing stuff a little easier but this was not it. The grabber requires a decent amount of finger strength to fully engage the grippers so not a good start. Made of pretty flimsy feeling plastic so I’m not sure how long it will last. The tips of the grippers are slanted outwards and don’t fully clasp shut together so this makes it harder to pick up anything that you’d need more precision to pick up, like dropped coins or sheets of paper. (See pic) I tested it out with a single key to see how long it would take to pick up. Took me a few tries to get it but I’m sure for people with limited mobility in their hands, it will be a lot harder to do this with. (See video) I do like the ability to fold it up and the included arm hook for neat and space saving storage. It also is fairly easy to rotate the head to fit into different areas you might need to reach, like under a dresser. The lever to lock the arm in position is easy enough to maneuver and I do like the silicone grip, as it helps to keep things more secure, but I wish the tips fully shut to make better use of them - a design flaw that will hopefully be adjusted in the next model. It can hold empty soda cans and water bottles decently well but this grabber leaves a lot to be desired. I also find I need to hold the arm up with one hand when picking up heavier items as it feels like the arm is straining under the weight. Not a good sign for long term use. All in all, it’s a fair grabber for basic uses like picking up empty cans and bottles but don’t expect much more out of it than this. I don’t recommend this for anyone with limited mobility in their hands.

it’s really rugged and durable, easy to use, folds easily for storage and works as it should.

Great grabber, works so much better than the extendable ones. Make sure you measure the distance from your hand to the floor when selecting the length. The short version (26") can cause you still to bend over when picking up items. The 32" turned out to be ideal for my spouse with no bending required. Build quality is great and you get pressure feel from the cable actuator. The magnets are big enough to pick up nails and screws.

I don’t know the detailed circumstances because I bought this for my father, but I do know one of the grabbing fingers broke off less than a month after he got it. He’s in assisted living so he couldn’t have been trying anything too strenuous.

Love that I can pack it away! Super grippy too! It feels sturdy! Big improvements on the original!
