Selected User Reviews For Ontel Gopher 2 Pick-Up and Reaching Tool, New & Improved Ergonomic Design
The importance of my new one became apparent when my old one broke. The new Gopher app allows me to change the direction of the grabber tool, which is an excellent feature! It was great to be able to retrieve the dog toys that had been out of reach, and my puppy was very happy to receive them! My use of this indispensable household tool will never be taken for granted again!.
My favorite thing about having this tool is how handy it is. Once upon a time, I had them, but they were lost when I moved. That it folds up and can be stored in a drawer or anywhere convenient is appealing to me. In the kitchen pantry and in my bedroom, I have one on. One can of peas can be lifted with its help. Since I can reach into the cupboards, I can pick things up off the top shelf. is capable of picking up a piece of paper from the ground. I'm impressed with the quality and durability of this product. There is a hinge on the fold.
The item is a piece of junk made of cheap materials. It arrived on Monday and I used it to pick up a receipt from a grocery store, only to find that its suction piece and screw had fallen off, and it was strewn It's so poorly made, compared to how they were made years ago. I've always cherished using the gopher, but, to break so quickly is a real letdown. I would recommend getting something else to help you with your grabbing needs rather than this product.
I measured the grabber at 24 inches (2 feet), which is not even close to touching Note 2 The shipping process took over a month from the time an order was placed to the time an item was Despite these issues, the grabber is still able to grab things up to a distance of approximately 2 feet.
It is wonderful for getting ornaments on the tree when I am standing on the ladder at Christmas time since it can gently grab glass globe ornaments Whenever there are stray socks that fall between the washer and dryer, I use it to pick them up. As a gardener, I use this tool to pick up small piles of weeds. The rope that hoists our bikes to the ceiling or the carport can be pulled down with it. It can also be used to pick up paper trash from the yard. I have one for the house and one for the yard. Love that it folds, too.
We use this on our zero turn mowers and it works perfectly. For picking up small sticks, rocks, and for chasing after the dog ball, we do not have to climb off the ground. Since not much of what we pick up requires suction, I didn't rate it.
You can pick these up easily. In addition to this one, I have another for picking up garden debris and another for pick-up in the kitchen. Definitely worth the money!.
My experience with reaching devices has been limited to a few, but this is the best. The material seems to be durable and well suited for grabbing.
