RMS Featherweight the Original Reacher 2-Pack (26-inch)

If you need a reacher for clothing to get dressed, this is the only one you should buy. My original one I got from an occupational therapist. It worked wonderfully to grab onto underwear and pants. My original one lasted about 8 years. When looking for a replacement, I found that all the rest were just reachers for grabbing objects. I needed this one because the claw is slim and rubberized with grooves. Others just didn’t work. I panicked one day when my original one broke because I quite literally could not dress without it. I was smart enough to look up occupational reachers and found exact same one. It is a lifesaver for me. Wouldn’t/ can’t use any other type. Highly recommend.

Bought several of these but this time they got it right for the holder for my walker, it actually worked! Great for keeping it handy. The last one I bought it broke the first time I tried to connect to my walker.. I can’t do without them

Buy the two pack for the $10 extra! I had to use the second reacher to pick up the first one because the first time I tried to use it I dropped it flat on the floor ! That’s now happened a couple times so buy both of them. I also recommend this reacher because it seems to pick up more tiny things more easily than others. It is kind of small and uses a thin string but functional. I think the claw and then the little bolt that hangs out of it is more useful than some of the other styles like the section cups & the pinchers I tried in PT/OT.

Much better quality than the ones you get in the hospital or physical therapy. The tip is recessed and closes tightly. Extra string allows you to adjust for slack as it ages. I can pick up coins with this. Longer than I am used to. A wee heavy

Excellent value and very sturdy! I have had this item for 8 years using it almost every day, and it's just now starting to lose its grip a little! Definitely recommend!

Functions well. Is a welcome necessity. Have one in every room. Comes in two lengths.

I am planning to have back surgery soon, so I bought these so that I could grab my cats' bowls and refill them if needed. I plan to try using dispensers as much as possible, and am trying to get the cats to use litter robots beforehand. I just also need to be able to pick up things I have dropped! So I have been going around and practicing with this, and it's been great! They seem very sturdy.

So far (about a week), these are great! Lightweight, and the grabber tip closes tightly enough to pick up small items. Another brand I tried could not pick up tiny things because the tips of the claw did not close together tightly enough. These are very precise - I can pick up bits of lint or paper or reach for a tissue and pull it out of the box. These fine little movements make a LOT of difference in your day-to-day living. The price for two was very reasonable, too. UPDATE: AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, THE CLAW PART GOT WOBBLY AND THE FINE GRIP WAS NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE. THIS IS DUE TO THE WEAK METAL USED IN THE "HINGES" AND THE FACT THAT THE STRING THAT THE HANDLE PULLS TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE CLAW STARTS TO STRETCH OUT. I WOULD PAY A BIT MORE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD EMPLOY BETTER, sturdier MATERIALS THAT WOULD LAST. I had to lower my rating from 5 stars to only 3.

They work OK the magnet is not the strongest, but can lift small objects. As with most most grabbers, it’s hard to pick paper up off the floor, but it works well with things that have contours.

After breaking any number of competitor grabbers which always fail at the plastic mechanism pieces, I have gone back to buying these. The part that matter are housed within an aluminium channel, and - as a result - don't wear out. It can't be over-strained no matter how strong your hand strength. Can pick up things twice as heavy as any other grabber I have bought. And, I have bought a few. You can go for the cheap rubbish that won't last out a year, or get these. The oldes one I have of these is so old, I can't even remember when I bought it. And still going strong.

Please do yourselves a favour and don't buy any other garbage. After breaking about 10 plastic pieces-of-crap that I bought from the local shops, I bought the original grabber. Which is this one. that 12 about 6 years ago. Simple design that just lasts. Mainly because of the simple sting-pull-design; and the fact that the actual shaft is made out of reinforced aluminium channel. If you buy this product, it will LAST.

Grippy, strong, simple mechanics. Some damage may be repaired by some users themselves.

This is a great tool but handy to remember that 70cm requires some bending. Great grip though and well built
