Vive Reacher Grabber Tool - 32" Extra Long Pickup Aid (2 Pack) - Trash Picker Upper, Rotating Hand, Heavy Duty Grip Arm - Reaching Assist for Litter, Elderly, Garden Nabber, Disabled, Handicap Arm

I bought this to put up holiday lights three years ago but here’s four other unexpected uses I’ve found for it :1. Getting trash out of window wells2. Snagging socks from behind the dryer3. Throwing pet toys without bending over twenty times4. Aggressive hip failureA 1 lb flat of ground beef is about the limit of weight you can grab, but it’ll do a little heavier clothing. The tips of the rubber ends have worn off but are still good at getting things up off the floor.

My husband bought a less than stellar version of a reacher for his 90+ mother. He bought a 2-pack of another brand. I bought this one for me - a while back. I like to USE an item for some time before I actually review it. I love the Vive adjustable gripper end. I have done many things with this - from getting a can of green beans off an upper shelf to using it to hang wreaths and other decorations on hooks in our house. If I ever buy another one, it will be this Vive reacher.

I have bought several of these. Most as gifts for my older friends. They are sturdy and strong. Whether I am picking up something from the floor. Or grabbing something up high. By the way they will pick up a toothpick or even a dime. I love these grabbers.

I have a grabber for every room in the house now! These are longer than most that I have and the extra length is a plus. However some others I have pick up a dime with no real effort. These, however are better suited for bulkier items--shoes, napkins, etc. I would not trust them to bring a glass down from a shelf, whereas others do nicely.These are great to have around for anyone who doesn't work out and is aging. My range of motion is decreasing and bending down is actually harder than ever before for me. While I work on balance, I do think having these deinish the possibility of falling.

Product was as described.

I've purchased the 2-pack 12 times over my life. There was a time when these would last until you wore out the wire inside the grabber or tried to pick up something too heavy. That was a long time ago.Recently, I've encountered times when the wire has snapped on the very first squeeze of the trigger mechanism. I went to pick up a 16.9 fl. oz. bottle of water and it snapped. I didn't even get a chance to lift the bottle out of the fridge, it failed from just being squeezed. What the heck is going on with the quality of these things?My last purchase was the last straw because the grabbers I received were not the ones that are shown in the pictures. I truly wish this company would return to making higher-quality grabbers. The majority of people who use these are disabled to varying degrees and it feels wrong to do this to people who truly need these things. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Indispensable if you are experiencing back problems

I use these to play ball with my dog, so they get used several times daily and they last and work better than any other grabber I've tried. They can also pick up surprisingly small items.
