3 out of 5 stars Gripper/reacher/picker upper   December 13, 2008
For approx $10 more you can purchase The Golden Retriever Reacher which I have found to be more durable & longer lasting.


2 out of 5 stars Nice Design, cheap Plastic   October 22, 2008
At first I loved this reacher- then after less than a month of use one of the grabber arms completely broke off! I am Very sad, as I really liked this reacher. I called Amazon.com and will be getting my money back, I really want to get another grabber, but am not happy that these do not last very long.


2 out of 5 stars Doesn't Hold Up   October 11, 2008
I have had two of these Medline reachers. At first they seem like they are heavy duty, but I have broken both of mine with seemingly ordinary use, that is not trying to pick up things too heavy or too large for it. I use it exclusively in the kitchen to retrieve things I can't get with my PicStik.

First of all, the rubber tips came off the first one, reducing its usefulness. A short time later one of the grabber arms broke.

Since I liked the style of the device I bought a second one. In less than a year the plastic bar that you pull on to close the grippers cracked and pulled out of the bar that attaches to the grabber arms. Maybe I can scavenge enough parts from each to make one complete one.

I have had other grabbers far longer that have not broken. It is too bad these Chinese-made grabbers are so cheaply built, because the design is useful to me.



5 out of 5 stars Good gift for people with handicaps   December 23, 2007
This is a quality and easy to use tool. It is much better than the trigger types. It is easier to use for those with arthritis or weakness in their hands. I have given 4 of them as gifts to people with bad backs or were confined to bed. It has been a much appreciated gift; giving them back some independence. I wouldn't pick up really heavy items with it because you may tear off the rubber tips that help grip the item.
