This is such a handy tool and I use it constantly and that little hook on the end is great for removing my socks and tubular bandage at night at bed time. Tell me why they stopped using that little spring for the return mechanism on the claw. That piece of plastic shaped like a piece of ribbon candy is weak and finally failed. I didn't want to buy another one like it that I knew that wouldn't last. So I went into a state of imagineering ,how could I make this my favorite tool again. So I took an elastic band from a bunch of broccoli and I removed the clip that I could attach to my cane and attached it to the underside of the grabber. With that in place I attached the elastic band to that and the claw and put a zip tie around the aluminum to keep it from moving. Now if it only had that spring I would give it ****************** stars's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got this for my elderly father to help pull his socks on all the way. He uses a sock puller to get them 90% of the way there but uses this small gripper to get under the sock grip it and pull the sock the rest of the way up. Buecause the jaw fits into a little slot when it clos3s it wil grab the edge of a sock very securely without it slipping out of the grip. We tried 5 different types and brands and this one is all around the best grip!. It's also good for picking up things just out of reach and the short length makes it very portable. We bought extra to keep one in the car (for drive up atm use) and one by his easy chair and a 3rd one hangs from a hook we added to his walker. Highly recommend!

While in recovery from hip replacement surgery, my movements were very restricted, prohibiting me from engaging in many routine activities requiring bending and reaching. This took greatly enhanced my ability to do many of these things, allowing me some sense of independence/normality until restrictions were lifted.

Perfect reacher, a bit shorter at 15 inches which makes grabbing things closer easier than trying to get a 22 inch one in places requiring less length, well made, nice.

This is the best style of these to get, the pull apart ones are ridiculous. These work great until you realize it’s sitting across the room or you can’t find it then it gets a little frustrating, I recommend you order two.

After having my right hip replaced I was given a bag of goodies that were to help with everyday activities such as getting dressed or picking up items too low to grab without bending over. One item was the shorter version of this grabber. While it was helpful, it was a little shorter than I felt was needed. I thought I'd try a different brand and got one by EZPIK. The EZPIK turned out to be a complete waste of money as it broke the first time, I used it to pull a blanket over my legs. Since the 26" version of the Sammons Preston seemed adequate, I bought the longer version and have been very happy with it. The jaws do not open as far as some of other brands, but it has proven to be very useful and much stronger than the crappy EZPIK.

I had the original Sammons Preston reacher for years ,until it finally bit the dust. My sister still uses the same one that she inherited from my mother. So, I recommend the older original Sammons Preston reacher.The only improvement is a better wider handle. My biggest complaint is that the design has been cheapened at every turn. For example, the original had a metal spring and the new one has vinyl spring. The older design would snap open whenever the was trigger was released. The "new" one barely reopens the grabber jaws, and never has it fully opened the jaws. And don't plan on ever using the weak ass magnet.The original grabber was a very light weight reacher, and it is very handy. And it is still around for sale. I would recommend getting a more robust reacher for heavier jobs.I absolutely do not recommend this Sammons Preston Easireach II Reacher. Buy the older design, it is better.Update:My opinion of the grabber got worse. About the same time as the above review, the plastic end(that contains the magnet) just snapped off. Since jaw was the length as the end of the broken plastic tip, it was impossible to grab anything. In an effort to get some use out of it, I cut the jaw to match the new shorter tip. It now "works", but it is even less useful. It is destined for the trash can. Again, don't buy this waste of time and effort !! ZERO stars is my review.

Buen producto pero el imán es muy pequeño y poco potente. Esa había sido la razón de mi elección, no resultó. Además es corto.

Lo que no me gustó es que el mecanismo lleva un cordon, pero tiene buen alcance y para cosas ligeras funciona.

Cumple con lo que promete, en verdad puedes levantar un lápiz, sin embargo al ser plegable se percibe un poco endeble.
