Toysmith Robot Claw

Good for this senior. My grandson had this toy. I borrowed it to pick up things I dropped. Decided to get one for me. That was 10 years ago. This is its replacement. Love it

My 3-yr old grandson asked me to get this for his birthday. He saw it at another party he attended and loved it. He thought it was the coolest thing. Recommend!

This was a gift for our grandson and he's totally fascinated by it. The only reservation I have is the strength of the spring in the claw and, therefore, the 4 stars instead of 5.OK, the boy is just over two, but he loves this toy. Even though he can hold the claw with a proper grip, he can't squeeze the handle because the spring is so strong. Certainly, he'll develop enough strength to actuate the claw; but, in the meantime, he uses it mostly to push and prod things. He also gets great joy out of having an adult use the claw to grab his toys, clothes, arms, or legs (yes, gently). It's just as good as tickling. Even the adults are a bit surprised at the level of grip required to use this toy claw.Bottom line: Well made for the price. Good fun and something that even a smaller child can enjoy and grow into.

For me to get in hard-to-reach places.

My kids had these when they were little, so I got one for my grandson. In and of themselves, these are fun to play with, but the BEST thing is that children or adults can use the claw to pick up toys and put them away... A way to make it more entertaining for kids to clean up, OR a back-saver for Mom not having to bend over to pick up toys. I just walk around the house with a laundry basket, pick up toys with the claw and throw them in the basket. NOTE: There is a screw that holds the handle onto the stick, and this came out almost immediately upon first use. Dad put the screw back in though and all is well. I recommend checking the screws on this toy before using it, because a lost screw will render this toy useless.

Okay, I guess this might be my fault because I am legally blind I cannot see pictures of products and I go off of the the name and descriptions of productions. A claw this is not unless you call a finger and a thumb a claw. I did give it to my great nephew as a gift so I am not sure how long it lasted but it did not seem like it was not very good quality.

My wife loves this product. Uses it daily in our kitchen and under her desk.

We got this for our nephew on his birthday and he loved it! At first, however, I wasn't sure that anyone else in the family loved it. He's only five, and he had a hard time resisting the urge to grab his grandmother and little sister with it. <ahem> However, he quickly learned what should and should not be snatched up with the claw and we were forgiven for buying it for him. ;-)Funny thing is, though... We recently talked to his mom, who says that SHE uses it all the time to pick up toys and other small things that have fallen behind the washing machine, the couch, or into other tight places. Our nephew still loves it, but it's found a way to be useful for the grownups, too.
