Question 1

is this the right choice to be picking up aluminum cans with ?

Accepted Answer

If the cans are empty this should work fine.  However, if the cans could have liquid in them I would recommend a stronger grip such as  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000V0AGS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  , which can pick up full 15oz cans of food from above your head.  Also, if you are going to use the grabber a lot (like picking up trash from a sporting event) I would suggest to spent the extra money and get the one I mentioned above.I also like  http://www.amazon.com/Ettore-49036-Grip-n-Grab/dp/B001B13PC2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405388354&sr=8-1&keywords=grabber  because it can pick up heavy things with ease.

Question 2

how many pounds can it pick up?

Accepted Answer

Right now,  not much. It does have a wide grabber area.  It would probably work well for jars and things. I need to use it mainly to pick up things that I dropped.  Like paper so I don't have to bend over to get it and until I glue some type of foam on the end,  it's not very good at it.

Question 3

does this come with a clip to attach it to a walker?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. Handle has a round hole maybe you could attach a clip to it. Very handy tool.

Question 4

Can I buy replacements for the gold plastic piece at the pick-up end?  I ordered 3 of these and all three plastic pieces are gone.

Accepted Answer

I cut a piece of wood the same size and shape of the plastic piece and hold it in place with rubber bands... the last pick-up I ordered didn't even closeall the way!  it wouldn't pick up the morning newspaper.. their quality is very bad.. I have been ordering these for years and the last two shipments have been defective.r lurie
