EZPIK Classic 40” Folding Grabber Reacher Tool with Dual Magnets, Heavy Duty Trash Picker Upper Grabber for Seniors & Disabled Users, Aluminum Pickup Tool for Everyday Reaching Aids (Black, 2 Pack)

Excellent gripper with rubber porcupine type, tip gripper. The rod is a metal tube which can hold weight. We really like the foldable feature with the ability to hang this on a nail or hook for storage until you need it. My wife is under 5’ ( 1.52 meters ) and has trouble reaching things on our upper cabinets and shelves, even with this, but less so now. Reaching things behind heavy furniture is easier since this has clips that can hold a small flashlight when in use. ( the clips hold the folded part of the device when folded ) I included some pictures. The flashlight I used is a Maglite and I had to use a rubber band to hold it in place, but included this to help you understand what I improvised. The camera compensated for the low light and the surroundings look brighter than actually were. Update; Jan 25th. 2022: this thing broke! The grabber is all plastic except for the metal tube. The part that folds, broke apart when I went to unfold it. I redact my recommendation for this product. The hinges should be made of metal and not plastic. See newly attached photos. Notice the screw? That is the hinge point and the bit of plastic sticking up broke off. I had to tape it and zip tie the plastic hinge tube to hold it together because otherwise the tube is held together only by the wire for the grips. 2nd. Update; April 19th. 2022: Seller sent me a free replacement. It’s longer than the previous version which my wife of under five foot finds extremely helpful. So far this unit has held up to frequent, almost daily use. The other grabber we had to zip tie and gorilla tape the center and is only useable for VERY lite use picking up rubbish. These things can pick up items like a glass jar of under 5 lbs. and such but make sure you have a good grip. If not then glass will slip out because the grips are only at the tips but the rest is bare metal. This item is designed for lite, home use only. UPDATE 5/9/23: the replacement we were sent has been holding up to constant, home life use and has not disappointed like the 1st. item so therefore I have increased the rating of this product.

Great quality, easy handling, even has an NIB magnet for grabbing lost keys. Get a spare for your car!

This is the best pick up tool! It gets a little heavy with continuous use but it picks up everything! I can pick up tiny pieces of flat paper off my floor. Picks up screw, washers and nuts really well. Strong! I can pick up full boxes of cereal, boxes of nuts and bolts which are usually very heavy (3 to 4 lbs). Great length! I can reach into cupboards that are above my fridge with no troubles at all. This thing is great for short people.

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.

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.

Ive bought so many of these reachers in the past. All cheap and breakable. This grabber is so much stronger and very reliable. Worth every penny. Have one in each room of the house. CJ

The grip jaws are nice, and the length is one of the longest I have seen on a grabber. Unfortunately, the hinges are made out of plastic and the extended sections are held in place by plastic pieces that snap into place. I strongly suspect that several episodes of folding and unfolding this grabber would put wear and tear on those plastic parts, eventually causing them to loosen, causing the grabber arm to become "wiggly", before eventually collapsing under a load. On the other hand, if you extend this grabber once, and don't fold or unfold it very often, it might be fine. In my opinion, a better grabber with similar grab jaws to this one, and a better build quality, is the adjustable length "Telescopik". As for the EZPIK Pro, I have to say "nope" due to the design and materials. So, back to Amazon it goes.

Folds compact. Easy to unfold. Picks up items and garbage fast. Bought for my husbands job, but now ordering two more for our beach walks for picking up rocks and any litter we find.
