Grabber Buddy Reacher Pick Up Tool Rubber Tips Ergonomic Handle with Dual Heavy Duty Magnets (60 Inch)

Used to extended reach and works great, sturdy and no issues so far

Solid! Used ours to get a few things we dropped out of our gutter system and it grabbed them with no problem! If you need extra reach you can happily reach for this item!

So I didn't realise a few inches more would make it much harder to lift things from afar. I was thinking it would be great to be able to get few more inches in but I was wrong. That is because of how my hand is gripping it makes it hard to lift heavier things. It would be best for stores that need high reach for customers. But not for everyday people who wants to lift and grab things easily. For that I would go for the gun style designs. Those are much more better for everyday use and less cumbersome. Still the high stars is because it is sturdy and well made and feels like would last quite a long while.

Works fine. Good value. Recommended to my geezer friends and they like it too.

Have one that had lasted over a year and is still working smoothly and in perfect shape. Cheaper options grow harder to use and last a maximum of 3 months before breaking. Not only has metal outsides but a strong skinny metal pole/ wire that runs from handle to gripper on inside making it work instead of a string that braeaks in others.

We got this grabber because we couldn't reach a fire detector in my how that would not stop beeping. Once I gave it to my husband, he was in love. He used it for everything from picking up trash to grabbing his soda from across the counter. For the price, it works great! However, my husband tended to lift much too heavy of things with it, like a bag of groceries. Then the spring snapped. He pouted for a month until I got him a new one. We bought the same one again, and he loves it! We now have a new rule to not pick up super heavy things, and it will last him a long time. We use it every day! I highly recommend. *Warning, if you are buying this as a gift, you can so tell what it is from the box*

With a 48 inch reach and embedded magnets, I can grab just about anything I need. If you're bed-bound this grabber will make your life a little easier. I'm glad I bought it.The above was written when I first bought it. Since then, the handle broke loose and the actuator came off.The posting said there was a guarantee. So, I tried phoning the manufacturer only to find the phone was no longer in service. I tried contacting them using the internet. No luck.At this point, I assumed thr mfgr is really a ghost who didn't want to talk to me. So, I decided to fix it using copious amounts of glue and old fashioned Yankee Engineering. The attached photos show the result.I like the tool but wish it were more rugged

I bought this product to augment another reaching tool I use to pick up tiny objects close to the floor. The other reaching tool has silicon suction cups at the end to make it easier to handle tiny objects, but it didn't handle heavier objects very well. So I picked up the Grabber Buddy and discovered what a reaching tool can be if you don't try to cut corners on materials, and decide to build the best reaching tool you can. Every other reaching tool I've tried has been made of the lightest materials and construction possible. While some of that may be by design to keep the overall weight down, my experience is that it's done simply to save on cost and construction (which technically is also cost). The Grabber Buddy has good, quality construction, and while it might not be as light as some other reaching tools, it's still way more than light enough to make it easy to use. It has the added benefit that the handle can be rotated, which comes in handy when carrying long objects. But don't take my comments to mean that the Grabber Buddy doesn't pick up tiny objects. It does, and it does it quite well. The tips of the Grabber Buddy 'fingers' are more rigid than suction cups, so they don't form around an object you're trying to pick up, like suction cups do. I've always seen that as an advantage of suction cup reaching tools. But to be honest, I haven't yet come across anything the suction cup tools will pick up that the Grabber Buddy won't. You won't go wrong with the Grabber Buddy.

Great for picking up stuff from the ground, but too heavy to hold up and reach something. Most sturdy one I've used-its my sixth. Super effective! I use it to reach the cords of my blinds every day. I'd love one half the size!

Absolutely brilliant, strong, easyto manage and grip very good at picking up. Would not hesitate to recommend

pick up garbage in dich beside road

I liked this product a lot, it does exactly what it advertises. I however was using to pick up garbage on the riverside which sometimes involved item heavier than this product seems to have been intended for, the clip that holds everything in place and allows the 90 degrees rotation could not bear the weight and broke recently (3 months of use, roughly once a week) rendering it inoperable.

Handle is the only one that actualy was designed for a human hand. Bravo.Body is solid and medium weight. Looks heaver than it is.Shaft is nice and long, great for removing things from lawn from window or deck. Reaching in the back of a vertical shelf to retrieve usb stick.Pincer has a mixed grasp. Clearly better for bottles and cans, useable (barely) for small items. Overall I'd give it a 3 for usability, but 5 and 5 for build quality and that wonderfull handle.
