Sammons Preston Reacher, Folding Portable 26" Long Grabber Tool, Lightweight Reaching Claw, 7 oz. Handy Picker Up Tool for & Reaching Claw, Aluminum Trash Pickup Aid & Lightbulb Remover, Garden Nabber

This is a good lightweight reacher and my only niggle is that the trigger is a bit too far from the handle for me to reach comfortably. Fortunately I have bought it as a present for someone with longer fingers than mine!

Ok at grabbing the larger items clothing etc... nothing too heavy. Didn't manage a large drinks can very well. Coins and pills however proved to be useless :(

Lightweight grabber. perfect for reaching items .

I expected this to fold in the middle, as in the photo.It doesn't.I have pretty large hands. From the heal to the tip of my longest finger is about 180mm. I find it almost impossible to use this thing single handed. I bought it for my wife who has smaller hands. I don't think she will manage to use this at all.Before retirement I worked for a number of years with elderly people. I cannot imagine anyone with arthritis managing this at all.

I was led to believe by the picture there was a a part on it whereby there is a knotch that can be used to pull a sock or shoe with a zip on it,so unfortunetly it is not ideal.

One of the most useful gadgets when one is unable to bend and move freely. It's come into use three years on the trot after operations.

Picking things up off the floor!

Splendid. We use them upstairs and downstairs, in two sizes.
