It does come in different sizes, however. I purchased the longer one in a two-pack at a great price. If you are shorter than 5 foot, the longer one will work fine. A magnet is found at the end of the rods that is quite The products seem to be very strong, however I think if they were adjustable they would not be as strong after my recuperation. My wife will be able to reach things on high shelves that I would have been able to reach before. Thanks for reading, hope you found it helpful
The grabber does work and grips tightly so that your clothes can be removed. It is a pleasure to hear from you.
The box they sent me was huge and oversized. There is no concern for waste with them.
There is no 90-degree rotation on this claw. A simple opening and closing is all it does.

I received the reacher grabber on time and in perfect Though the yellow plastic clip enables it to fasten to a cane, it does not hold tightly and thus slides down the broom stick as it is walked. I improved the design by adding a short section of surgical tubing or equivalent to cover the peg at the bottom end to stop it from rattling against a cane and improved grip when grabbing attached two pieces of Velcro around the cane in two places to secure the tool both ends to the cane using the self-adhesive backing The Velcro loop was attached to the cane and two sides were attached to the In order to ensure tension, at each point of attachment I sewed a piece of heavy elastic between two pieces of the two sided Velcro. A clamp (mine was made from wood) and two zip ties were used to secure the Velcro/elastic pieces to the reacher grabber There should be one at each end of the tool to align with the Velcro on the cane.
The guys helped me pick up things that fell on the floor after having my hip replaced. To keep one of the grabbers attached to my rollator type walker, the clip that came with it is really helpful. Although it may work on the walker with two wheels and two tennis balls, the tubing on the walker is too large to accommodate it. already used them on quite small pieces of paper, and they work fine. I am not sure if they will open widely enough to allow for a can of Progresso, but I have not had to test that. Having said that, I am glad that I got the two packs- Having dropped my first and having to pick it up with my second meant both hands were busy picking up the other!.
Following back surgery, I purchased these because I was forbidden to bend for a period of six I would suggest ordering the longer ones if you need to use them mostly for picking things up off the floor. 5'1" is a bit short for me, so the short ones aren't the best choice. While they are great for getting items off shelves and out of front-load washing machines, they are also great for picking up clothes from washing machines. If they bundled both long and short ones, I would be more inclined to buy. In the bottom, there is a post that I am unable to figure out what it is I just notice that it gets snagged on things and gets in the way. However, the quality of the device is not great and I do not expect the pully system strings to last very long, but for my purposes it is adequate. It was good to have at least two of them so I could keep them on different floors of the house, so I liked that they came in They work well as long as the object isn't too heavy, and I can pick up most things with them.
My knee replacement surgery recently left me confined to a recliner, so I wanted these to help me. The clip that came with it helped secure it to the lamp pole since I was told not to bend over too much at the waist. In the photo, you can see I used the clip to reach for different items.
Many of the grabbing mechanisms I've purchased to help me reach, stand up, etc. have both the magnets in the end and the metal end that helps me pull my clothing on. These grab sticks by RMS, which I purchased in June, have both these things lost. There was a malfunction of the magnet and the holes in the metal posts came loose. It's hard for me to figure out where the grab sticks are since I used them outside in my garden. If the grab sticks were built with the intention of helping, then they must still be there somewhere. My new Grab Sticks are not able to pick up small metal objects in the house and cannot hook clothing or hook anything else to help me with dressing and other daily tasks. They might make a great salad stirrer if I bend them! It is not worth your money to buy a product that is such low quality. Thank you so much, RMS. Another type/version of this is available!.
The purchase of this product would not be recommended. In order to restring my old one, I will have it professionally retuned.
For the past 7 years, as an elderly person with a disability, I have been quite dependent on assistive devices, a reacher/grabber being among the most important ones. I can pick up items that I drop easily with their help The stuff on top of the shelves needs to come down My washing machine allows me to reach down into it to remove clean clothes and other items If you are having a really bad day, dress yourself Those are my go-to tools, and I always use them. Clearly, after all of this use, they will break down, as recently demonstrated by one that failed after seven years. It was good to be able to purchase two for a price that was almost the same as one and in some cases, much less than Upon their arrival, I now have 3 packages ready to be picked up It can be used in the bathroom, kitchen, or.
I think it's great for the money. The last time I had a hip replaced was recently. been planning to order another grabber from Amazon, but I decided to get another one instead. The best way to prevent thefts from your house is to install grabbers throughout. My eyes caught sight of this deal and I decided to grab For almost the same price as I paid for one, I am getting two. I highly recommend these products as they are extremely well made. They are one of the best things I found for my postoperative recovery. The cane has already become the only means of transportation for me, but I keep the grab bars close by at all times, so I won't suffer as my hip heals. This is a grab that you cannot go wrong with! They serve as the items and tools I use to dress myself they also serve as the items I drop The fact that I can reach things above my head is very appreciated.
