Homecraft Handi Reacher, Extra Long Handled Extension Grabber Tool, Litter/Rubbish Pickup Aid and Lightbulb Remover, Garden Nabber, 36"

This tool is excellent. It is lightweight, and the action is smooth and easy. The hand grip uses all four fingers so easy to use because the effort is spread over the whole hand. Not just one finger as with a trigger action for instance.The hook is great for dragging fallen objects closer and the magnet picks up small metal objects.The jaws seem to fit around anything from a box of cornflakes to a pot of jam.

I broke our last one of these and was mortified as it had been so good and used many times. I was relieved to find the same type on Amazon and ordered one which is longer than the one we had. It has a little hook on one end at the front and a magnet situated in the opposite part of the same end. I haven't just used these for reaching for items out of reach in the house but have made use of it for bringing branches down to be pruned. They are ideal for getting something out of the bottom of a wheelie bin in a dignified manner. It is easy to use, not stiff at all and now that I have a longer one I am expecting it to be even better. I believe when I ordered it that there was a choice of two sizes. It's one of the most useful gadgets I've got and easily stored away in between uses.

This is a nifty little grabber with a lot of cool ideas. One jaw is rubber coated which helps it to grip, although having both jaws coated in rubber would have been better. They are accurate enough to pick up surprisingly small items. It also has a hook which is handy for pulling cords/wires or grabbing bag handles.There is also a small magnet embedded in the end which saved my bacon when i dropped some screws down the back of the washing machine!Grabbing takes place by squeezing a trigger in the handle. The unit is light and easy to operate although the grip of the jaws depends entirely on how hard you squeeze the handle so this is worth bearing in mind if you have someone with limited grip strength.Unfortunately the lightness is a result of having fairly flimsy construction which means it isn't great for heavy or bulky items. Just about OK for a bottle of ketchup or tin of beans. Not OK for a bag of sugar.Also worth thinking about the length you need. I went for the 24" thinking that would be plenty. In practice there have been plenty of times i wished it was longer. If i was buying again I would definitely get the longer one.Overall it's a nice little gadget for the price but if you need plenty of oomph I'd suggest paying a bit more for something better constructed.

Easy to use, and good quality.

I've been using grabber sticks for ten years now and I keep coming back to this one it is well built, strong easy to use and it has a long reach.The only problem is the magnet isn’t very strong can only pick up small pins.

I ordered this a couple of days before going into hospital for a hip replacement and was able to take it with me into hospital. In recovery now I am now allowed to bend and it is so useful in getting things just our of reach. Slippers, dressing gown, sponge bag and so much more all accessible from bed or chair.I am very apply to give this 5 stars

Package arrived in a larger than expected box - perhaps a bit OTT to be honest. Lots of bubbles to protect the actual item. Sturdily build and strong when grabbing lightweight item. I would not attempt anything heavier than your standard household remote control. As it is not meant to hold anything heavy anyway. I bought this to facilitate the day to day letters landed on my door mat during the COVID19 lockdown - to avoid contact. I picked up the posts and placed them in a quarantined bag and keep there for several days. It serves well as I could easily collect them easily in one sweep. I have not tried on other items in the house but for what i needed, £3.50 is a real bargain. Although that was the shortest one (24 inches) - this may have been a sit-down version. You may consider the next length up but double the price.

Not as sturdy as I expected but seems to work fine. The plastic feels a bit cheap and flimsy. Fine for light weight, occasional use but not as sturdy as another brand I have.
