Product Reviews of As Seen On TV Gopher Pick Up and Retrieving Tool
Product Review: A real lifesaver
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is awesome! I have two small children, and am pregnant with the third. The constant bending to pick up toys, clothes, etc. was killing my back... I can pick up anything from a brick to a paperclip with this gadget! I have bought a second unit for use outdoors.
This would make a great gift for anyone expecting or with back problems!!
Product Review: Always falls apart
Summary: 2 Stars
We have had three of these; they always break at the bend. Buy a non-bending one instead--they are more durable.Product Review: BEWARE OF $3.99 PRICE FROM VEDANT GIFTS. THEY ARE SELLING CHEAP KNOCK OFF. NOT ORIGINAL GOPHER.
Summary: 5 Stars
Vedant Gifts is selling a CHEAP KNOCK OFF not the ORIGINAL GOPHER. This is a great item but you must buy the ORIGINAL GOPHER from a TRUSTED seller on Amazon.com. DO NOT BUY A CHEAP KNOCK OFF FROM Vedant Gifts. They are RIPPING CUSTOMERS OFF by selling a CHEAP KNOCK.
Wondering WHY Amazon hasn't stepped in. Maybe because they are busy making too much money on other products. DO SOMETHING AMAZON. STOP THESE CON ARTISTS.
Product Review: Cheap counterfeit! Avoid avoid avoid!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had an original set of Deluxe Gophers I bought directly off the infomercial about five years ago. They were sturdy, well-designed and could easily pick up a two-to-five pound object with no problem. Most importantly, the suction cups were FLEXIBLE, but also firm enough to grip tightly. They were perfect for lightbulbs, if that gives you any idea of what I'm talking about here.
Unfortunately, the screw holding one suction cup finally "stripped" (after using it about a hundred times a day, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner) and I couldn't find replacement cups anywhere.
Amazon shows three different places to get these, and these particular ones, at $3.99, seem like a great deal. Trust me, they're not. The cups are not flexible, the cable from the handle to the ends rubs against the sharp end of the square aluminum shaft (that puppy isn't going to last a week) and the locking mechanism DOES NOT WORK! I got two pair, and they're both the same.
All the plastic fittings are blue, rather than red, and it doesn't say "Deluxe Gopher" anywhere on them (unlike the original, where it is prominantly displayed on the handle and etched on the metal "arms" at the end).
These are counterfeit. Don't buy them, or if you're still tempted by the price, just throw four bucks out the window and use the postage to go to BarStuck's and treat yourself to a fancy-schmancy coffee.
Product Review: Does a great job!

We have adopted a portion of our local highway. We pick up trash along the road three times a year. This tool has been great for saving our backs!
