2-Pack Grabber Tool, 32' Long Reacher Grabber Pickup Tool with Magnetic Tip, Trash Picker for Elderly Grab It Reaching Tool, Garbage Picker Upper, Litter Pick Up Grab, Claw Grabber Stick

The grabber tool is very helpful and I use them (I have 2) every week. I don't know how I got along without this product.

When i ordered these they looked very sturdy. After about a month one of them quit closing completely and therefore wound up throwing it away. Not as sturdy as they seem and they are only used to pick small items off the floor.

We bought one of these from a medical facility and it broke within 2 days of light use. I ordered these nearly 2 months ago and they are great! We have used them to pick up wet towels with no problems. Picked everything we dropped, small to fairly heavy. Both are still good!

They work and save my back

These are great to have around for after back surgery. They are strong enough for most things you’d need off the floor. Would not pick up an ice pack from the floor, but ice packs are pretty heavy. I was able to pick up my phone charging cable and even the dog’s food bowl, as well as numerous “dropped” things. Recommend the 2-pack for picking up the grabber when you drop a grabber… I can guess that would be a good reason anyway 🙄

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t use one of my grabbers. So handy and will pick up the smallest thing. Perfect for anyone with arthritis or get something fallen in a tight, small space impossible to reach.I even use it for items in the back of the dryer. A real back saver.Lightweight and good grip strength. I like that it came in a two pack for different areas of the house, or to gift a friend.

I've tried other, cheaper grabbers without the Dumsamker identifier and they were horrible – cheaply made and quickly breaking in various ways. I especially like the Dumsamker's rubber tips, which are "cup-like" and work much better than the flatter "spatula-like" tips found on some other products. Be careful, however, because many of these knock-off units look quite similar.My primary use of this grabber is picking up trash along the side of the road. I found that the ends of the rubber tips were quickly wearing and eventually splitting. Once a tip splits, the device is no longer effective picking up small objects, such as cigarette butts.One object that you should avoid trying to pick up is anchored fishing line. Pulling fishing line through the tips of the grabber easily slices the rubber, thereafter making it impossible to pick up small, flat objects.Here are 3 ways to extend the life of the Dumsamker grabber:1. Initially, I considered protecting the end of the tips using an epoxy resin. However, I was concerned that doing so would increase the height of the rubber gripping surface relative to the pavement, making it impossible to pick up small objects like dimes, flat pieces of paper, and cigarette butts. When the end of my latest grabber started to wear and tear, I decided to try putting a thin coating of "two-ton epoxy" on the ends of the grabber. Not only did it repair the tears, but I was still able to easily pick up thin objects like dimes. Because the epoxy is so hard, it is likely to protect the ends of the tips through a lot of additional use.2. I assume you are walking forward as you pick up a piece of trash. The following technique keeps one tip on the ground as the rest of the grabber rotates about that contact point rather than the tip scrapping along the pavement. During this time, the other tip moves very close to the ground as the grabber closes. To explain how to execute this technique, I will call one of the grabber "fingers" the "forward" finger and the other the "back" finger. The orientation of these fingers will be such that a line drawn between the tips of the fingers is parallel to the path you are walking. The forward finger is forward of the back finger relative to your travel.As you approach the trash, the grabber will be slightly ahead of you and you use the back finger to orient the grabber relative to the trash. It is OK if the back finger strikes the ground. As you move forward, you will want to move the handle a little farther forward relative to your body. This will move the forward finger down to the ground to a point past the trash. The back finger will then rise slightly off the ground. Now as you close the gripper, the front finger rotates about its ground contact point but does not scrape the ground. The back finger is first lifted off the ground and then, as the fingers close, it moves closer and closer to the ground. The back finger usually doesn't even scrape the ground at all, because, by adjusting the position of the handle relative to the grabber fingers, you can very accurately control the distance of the back finger's tip relative to the ground. With a little practice, all this can be done very quickly and you often don't even have to pause your walking stride.So far, this technique appears to have at least doubled the life expectancy of my grabber.3. Picking up small, flat pieces of paper sometimes requires the grabber tips to scrape the ground and paper. This is especially true when the paper is wet. However, I have found that by sliding the bottom of my shoe over the paper, the paper often rolls up or buckles, giving a place to grab that does not involve tip scraping.

Great reaching and grabbing tool! This 2-pack was a replacement for a single grabber tool that I had and depended on for many years. It finally broke when son stepped on it by mistake. My old tool was simple and thinner, made with cheaper materials and it didn't have good grip, so picked-up items would slip and drop a couple of times before I was able to quickly collect them with my hand. I didn't know any different though, until I used this new grabber tool and realized what I'd been missing. This new tool is wonderful and makes reaching and grabbiing items easy and quick. It is sturdy and solid, made with much better quality materials. I love that it has grip nodes on the grabber tips to secure items and pick up without dropping, rather than the smooth hard plastic tips that things slipped through on the old tool. I'm able to reach, grab, and collect things on the first try with this new tool. I also like that this new tool has a grabber tip end that swivels, so you don't have to bend and twist your arm in an awkward position to get something. With the solid, thicker stick/pole portion on the new tool, I am able to pick up heavier items easily, unlike the older tool that would bend and bow with much weight. I didn't realize that it had magnetic tips, until I used it to grab the TV remote from behind the couch and it came back not only holding the remote, but with a screw dangling from the tip! I wonder what's missing a screw, lol.I'm glad that I opted for the two-pack, what a great value. I'm able to leave one grabber in the house and keep one in the garage, where I also need it often. I had to hunt for the old tool every time I needed it, but now, with 2 new tools that have their designated spaces, I'm not wasting time searching for them. I definitely recommend and would purchase again.
