Would you like your life to be a touch easier and more efficient? Just get one of these. I got an idea to get one for my Dad for Father’s Day and I thought why don’t I get one too? I absolutely am SO glad I did! This thing is truly amazing to have around. Examples of how it helped me so far:1. I had an blanket fall behind a very heavy leather couch that is kind of close to the wall. I could not easily move the couch forward without straining,and since the couch is large, could not easily reach behind it or on the side without possibly even hurting myself. My boyfriend was not around to help me at the time. I gently picked it up with this great tool in a few seconds no problems or issues! Immediate time saver, great for back and joints!2. The cupboards are high! I’m only 5’1” so I basically have to drag out a stool for everything on the top shelf. Now I rearranged my cupboards so everything I can’t grab easily is on the lower shelves and everything I can’t is on the top! It’s so awesome to have little things like that make your life a little easier and safer too. You do not want to miss step off a ladder or stool!It is true it will pick up a thin dime off the floor! It also has magnets on the sides and easily picks up metal objects in tight spaces or just off the floor. I tested it on a couple things like a nail and bottle cap, works perfect! Less stooping pick up really almost anything off the floor so you don’t wrench your back.The head swivels but I have not had to use that function yet. Sturdy, well made, very grippy pinchers. Easy to open and close the thing-so nice to have around! My Dad loves his too, and I think he uses it out in the yard sometimes and in the garage. Makes a great, thoughtful gift for near impossible people to buy for who like practical stuff, but have almost everything they need already. He even could use another one-one with longer handle or one for upstairs/one for downstairs. I love this-highly recommend it!

I use this when mowing to pick up limbs/sticks, trash, etc. Keeps me from having to get off and back on the mower. Saves me a ton of time. Light weight. Good grip strength. Stronger than I expected. If you have a riding mower, this is essential.

It is a good product. It helps to pick up things without having to bend over.

This grabber is better than most. I use it daily and it has held up nicely. I'd love to find a grabber that is sturdy enough to use as a cane and also capable of picking up items, but until I find that this is a good option. The reason I took off a star is because of the amount of unnecessary plastic it came in. It was ridiculous! I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it. Why is it so hard to just put the item in a box? Unger or Amazon needs to do better.

I will have had this Grabber for 2 years this November. I have used it on a regular basis and it has proven invaluable to me. For reasons I won't go into I often need to reach something that is either on the floor or on a shelf etc. and it has worked without issue every time. The tips of the jaws fit together tightly and with the rubber added I can pick up a piece of paper or something like a water bottle cap off the floor. I have also retrieved things like a 28oz bottle of Sriracha sauce (Huy Fong is the BEST!) off of a shelf. If the diameter of the item you are trying to retrieve is large enough for the jaws to fit tightly around it, you can lift it and bring it into your grasp or set it down on a table or shelf. But only squeeze as tightly as is needed to keep it from slipping out of the grasp of the grabber, if you put the gorilla grip on it I can see that this might possibly cause the jaw/s to break. Use finesse not brute force.Also when I'm sitting in my chair I cut up boxes for recycling and this grabber will fit around a stack of cut up pieces and I can deposit them in the recycling container near by. These are just some of the ways in which I have used this grabber. And while it is extremely useful for those who have issues standing or bending over I can see that this item would be useful to a healthy person. Have you ever had to get down on your hands and knees to retrieve something from under your desk? Or did you poke at it with a yard stick until it came within reach? I have a metal filing cabinet that sits next to my desk. And no matter how small you try and make the gap between the two, something will fall down in between. So again you can poke at the item with a yardstick and try and slowly free the item...or you can use this grabber to snag it. Donezo!I paid $18 for this grabber and I saw that at one time the price went up to $39. I would pay this price if need be. This grabber is that valuable to me.I can't speak to the issues that some who have left 1 star reviews have had. I don't doubt what they have said. If the plastic jaws break, that's that, you won't have a good impression about this grabber. But unless there was a manufacturing defect in the plastic it's hard for me to see how the jaws could break unless you used this to whack someone over the head or it impacted another hard object (There are few objects harder than some peoples' head).I often wait until I've had an item for a while before I write a review. And so far this grabber has stood the test of time for me and as I said, I would gladly pay twice the price I paid in the beginning.If you get one of these, have fun grabbing!

After purchasing several types of grabber sticks, I will only buy this one. The others are not strong enough and I have to reach up 8' to get a 2 pound container of sugar when I bake (which is very often). I can get it down without having the container fall out of the grasp of the stick and it also will pick tiny things up off of the floor. I have 3 other grabber sticks that have sat in the corner since I got this one. Will buy again.

This product has been a lifesaver while recovering from surgery! This seems durable and has worked quite well for grabbing stuff that is out of my reach.

There is zero problem with the way the gripper handle control works.

Muy practico

Sturdy enough, and ergonomic, and without any great issues. Bonus point for rotating hook at the end so you can mount it on the wall either way. They are slightly expensive considering what you get, there are better deals on here; on somewhat more sturdy grappers. But I don't think anyone will be unhappy with these.

So much better than the cheaper version that self destruct in no time......

I use it to pick up branches that the birch and poplar trees drop all year in strong winds. I used to hate raking and bending to pick them up. Now I just walk around and pick them up and drop them in the wheelbarrow. Not the strongest tool so one can't pick up large heavy branches totally, but you can lift the ends high enough to grab them with your other hand. Wish I had bought one of these years ago.
