Customer Reviews

Great for small items

2007-09-05
I have owned this item for at least 7 yrs. Purchased locally for
$19, so this price (in today's dollars) looks like a buy.

I was not happy with this product because it does not open wide enough to pick up common items such as jars. It would be of no use to me at the grocery store as I am trying to reach items up above me.

Just what i needed

I bought the reacher for backyard work and for those times when I'm too lazy to bend over when cleaning the house. It's a great product. The size is perfect. I'm 5'8 and anything smaller would be a waste of time. I thought the magnetic tip was only a gimmick but it has come in handy. The only minor gripe is the handle is a little skinny. I've gotten used to it though. I highly recommend it.

A most helpful tool and a must for people that have trouble reaching. My only complaint is they do not offer a heavy duty model (string has a tendency to break - a light wire would be better.

Great Little Pick-It-Upper!

The Duro-Med Reacher with Magnetic Tip is helping me get a grip on a variety of items!
Shoes, socks, peanuts, paper clips, pen, pencil and paper have easily been picked up by yours truly!
I just reach for what I want, place the claw on it, squeeze the trigger and pick up the targeted item.
The magnetic tip is pretty nifty. It picked up nails, staples and paper clips just fine.

If you're like me you have said at least one, if not all, of the following way too many times. Starting with: 'Oops! I dropped it, could you pick that up for me?' ~ 'Sorry, dropped it again! ~ Or in total frustration if by yourself, '*#@& That's just great! Now what?' ~ 'Ooh! That hurt! I should've just left it!'

If you relate to any of the above, then this is what you need. Gaining more independence is awesome. The Duro-Med Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip, 26 Inch is ideal for taking clothes out of the dryer, as suggested by the previous reviewer. Thank You! I bought both the 26" and the 32" length reachers. I am using one for the dryer and one for general use. Now, I no longer have to rely on others . . . . . .
unless, of course, I drop the reacher! ~ Mrs. B.

Reacher Aid

I have purchased several reachers in an attempt to find one that is capable of fastening the velcro closure of my shoes. This reacher seems to be poorly made, the jaw slips off to the side and is no help at all for the purchase purpose. It is adequate in picking up small objects and clothes etc off the floor when you cannot bend over to get them. The magnet is there if you drop a pin or some other small metal object.

Works like a charm. Couldn't live without it.

I use one in the garage for picking up my four dog's multitude of toys scattered about. I purchased an extra one for inside the house. It can pick up a dime, a nail, the dog treat that fell behind the freezer, and some pretty disgusting things the dogs bring in on occasion.
I've already purchased one as a gift for my vertically challanged sister-in-law. Lots of bang for the buck.

Good Product

2008-03-12
This is a good tool. It has some limitations that I knew of before I purchased. It doesn't grab a regular sized can and the claw isn't super strong. What it is good at is picking up items from the floor or grabbing from a high or deep shelf. I have used the magnetic tip several times. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Great for pregnant moms!

2008-02-26
I love this thing! I am pregnant with twins and cannot bend over to pick up all the junk my kids drop on the floor. Now I can! This thing is dexterous enough to pick up small legos, pencils, wrappers etc. Yes I do feel like a litter collector walking around the house with this and a garbage bag but it's worth it. Best comfort item I've bought so far.

Helpful reacher

I am using this to help me in the garden. It won't lift really heavy things but helps me pull up the hose to move it, etc. It is lite which is nice. Haven't had it long enough to know how durable it is. It uses a nylon cord to pull the claw, and I wonder how long this will last. But so far I am pleased with it.
