> Review of Kekoy Foldable Reacher Grabber (36") by Karen:

  • How long I've been using this product: 1+ year

  • How often I use this product: Multiple times a day

  • My gut feeling: Makes it easy to take a reacher with you at all times; goes on a walker or in a wheelchair; allows one to shorten it for convenience of transporting or storage.

  • Why did you choose this product? In any room of the house, being able to reach and grab things without bending or stretching is important. [The transportable nature of this device] means you don't have to store several reachers, in multiple rooms, in order to have one handy. One does not have to move around with a long, awkward device.

  • What are its pros? Highly portable; easy to store on walker or wheelchair; magnet on end to pick up small metal objects; attached velcro-like tie to keep in closed position

  • What are its cons? None
  • Might be relevant for individuals with disabilities related to: Balance

> Review of RMS Reacher Grabber (34") by Hannah:

This is a 32” Grabber that can reach for picking up objects without bending or straining. You can rotate it 180 degrees and use it both around the house or outdoor to pick up items from the top shelf, the floor, behind the furniture or even trash you don’t want to touch. I like this grabber because he is my extended hand. It has the same flexibility but longer :)

> Comments on RMS Reacher Grabber by Jessica:

I am liking the grabber so much. I could not pick up things with the old grabber like I can with this one 😊. I play food toss with my cat, and it picks up little pieces of food, that is something I could never do with my old grabber! It really is amazing!!!
