Tools and Hardware Reviews of Folding Helping Hand Long-Reach Pick-Up Gripper - Light Weight Aluminum Body
Customer Review: Heavy
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a neuromuscular disease and am in a power chair. I can't live without reachers in every room. I constantly drop things that I can't reach from my chair. This brand of reacher is way too heavy for me.I have found the "Nova reachers" the best. They're very light (24-42") and the full hand trigger is easy and I find the hook very useful. It also hangs most anywhere. Also, they don't lock which is more of a benefit than detriment...the locking is a pain. Check them out before you buy. Nova Reacher - 32 Inch Dragon, Brushed Aluminum. Nova Reacher Dragon 24 Inch, Silver/blackCustomer Review: poor craftsmanship
Summary: 2 Stars
After less than 2 weeks, the folding mechenism gave out, resulting in the use of tape to keep the gripper from collapsing while in use. Less than 1 week later, the handle control for the gripper broke while picking up a piece of paper. As a vital and more than useful item for a person who cannot bend down to pick up dropped items, our gripper was yet again subject to home repair and now has been wired and drilled and taped together in order for it to fit it's function. I would not buy another of this brand nor recommend it to a friend. No fault to the distributor, the overall design of the item does not stand up to its needed function.

Not great quality it works ok! The gripper cups are a hard plastic so doesnt pick up thinkg like another tpe I have had before. Ok in a pinch but it not worth the money paid. I had to duck tape the cups on because the screw kept coming out!Customer Review: Shipping costs more than item!!!!

Silly to pay a little over six bucks for something you can pick up at the hardware store for about the same price, then pay nearly eight bucks to have it shipped. I will buy local Thanks anywayCustomer Review: Cheap and flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
This grabber is flimsy and cheaply made.
Other similar products are much better made than this one and cost only $5 more.
