ArcMate 370cm Outdoor EZ Reacher Pro with Fold

Very long with strong grasper. Great for apple picking .

I bought this to pick up trash in an area of mangroves. It works incredibly well. I have the shorter (8' long) version of this as well, but kept finding flotsam and jetsam trash that was just out of reach. This solved the problem. While it is a little wobbly when extending it out horizontally, it works great if you can rest it on something midway. It also works great to snap things like plastic bags or garbage stuck up in trees. The pincers work great and while this will not lift terribly heavy objects, I had no problems retrieving floating beverage cans full of liquid. This has worked better than anything else we have tried to pick up trash from the boardwalk around the water here. A really useful tool at a very reasonable price. I also love that it is made of aluminum, so will not rust or degrade and is rigid, but relatively lightweight.

Works great

I wasn't sure this was going to work for me. I have a bird feeder that I like to place high up on a tree. There is a broken off limb from which a small birdfeeder can hang, and make feeding convenient & a bit safer for smaller birds. The small pine squirrels love it, too. But it was difficult balancing the birdfeeder with just a pole. So I bought this and it has worked beautifully. There was a little bit of a learning curve on where to grab the feeder and how to hold & lift it, but it didn't take long to figure out the best way.I have since used it for various things around the house, such as getting an extension cord positioned underneath a large king-size bed. So it's definitely been worth the cost of the tool for me. It folds up easily for storage. You have to make sure, though, that you have it secured when in the extended position. I have it collapse a couple of times because I didn't "pull it down" tightly prior to starting to lift it. (User error and no damage done.)Because of its extreme length, I would say that it has limited use, unless you have a specific situation like mine.I do not think it will hold extreme weight because of its length (it would 'bow'). I'm not sure how much the filled bird feeder weighs but I would think no more than ten pounds if that.I am very pleased with the purchase of this. I have used it now for almost one year and it has held up beautifully. Very well made. I will definitely look to ArcMate for shorter reachers as the need arises.

We didn't like the product and wanted to return it. We were told that we have to pay for the original shipping of purchase and then the shipping cost of our return. The return cost for shipping was 55$. Buyer beware.
