Product Reviews of Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Product Review: Aluminum Reacher
Summary: 4 Stars
A most helpful tool and a must for people that have trouble reaching. My only complaint is they do not offer a heavy duty model (string has a tendency to break - a light wire would be better.Product Review: Aluminum Reacher
Summary: 2 Stars
I was not happy with this product because it does not open wide enough to pick up common items such as jars. It would be of no use to me at the grocery store as I am trying to reach items up above me.Product Review: An essential tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tool so much so that when I lost mine, I immediately when online and bought two more, to use in different rooms. I found the one I thought I had lost and gave it to a friend. I have used these for years and years. I wouldn't be without it. I use it a minimum of four times per day. ChristineProduct Review: Another near useless reacher
Summary: 1 Stars
If picking up small nuts, bolts, and screws with the magnet, and
socks I guess this has a use. The construction is poor. The shaft
is very flimsy, u channel aluminum that bent when the pop rivets
that hold everything together were installed, making the claw
off center so that the ends didn't meet. Some adjustment with
a pair of pliers and now they line up but any thing weighing more
than an ounce will pull the jaws back out of alignment and the item will be dropped. The jaws don't even open wide enough to pick up a can of food.
I would not recommend this.
Product Review: Change that to -liked-
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm keeping my former review, so you know why I liked it. However, the same day I posted my review, the tiny metal clip that kept the elastic band on the far side of the plastic "jaw" fell off, rendering it totally useless. I was unable to repair it, so it's pretty much just a stick now. Up until this point, it was excellent, but apparently it's not built to last.
I waited over a month to post a review, in order to use it and determine how well it works. So far it's fantastic. I can pick up paper, soda cans, and if I support the metal part, my big plastic medication box. The little plastic "jaw" part does go out of alignment once in a while, especially if you grab something at an awkward angle, but it's never permanent, and a small shake or quick move puts it back in place. I use mine to pick up clothing, books, cans, boxes, towels, and all sorts of things, big and small. I can pick up small things just as easily as large things. After having read a few reviews I tried picking up individual pills, and my grabber will do that just fine.
