Product Reviews of Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Product Review: Does what it is supposed to do!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price, it is perfect. I already have two and needed one for the office. It is well designed and the magnetic end is especially helpful. Definitely recommend it to anyone who needs assistance grabbing items on the floor or out of reach. Product Review: Handy % Lightweight!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 64 with limited mobility. A friend suggested that one of these "reacher things" might be useful. I read reviews by others at Amazon and chose this one. It has proven to be *very* useful and helpful! I appreciate its light weight, comfortable grip and ability to pick up multiple size and shaped items.Product Review: grabber
Summary: 5 Stars
Have been confined to a wheelchair or bed for 12 years. Cannot function independently without my grabber. Have ordered this one so I will never be without one.Product Review: Plastic Eventually Breaks
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased several of these over the last year. I use them for my job (I deliver mail), and they always seem to break in one of two spots: the trigger or the handle. Sometimes I will get a couple of months out of one, some times a couple of weeks. If the handle and trigger were reinforced or made with something other than plastic, I could likely use them forever. A few have popped the clamp on the rope off the end. If you can find the clamp and re-clamp it, it's fine but I had to tie a few in knots to keep them going.
I'm probably not a typical users of these, but they would be a much better reacher with my suggestions. For normal people, I would recommend them.
Product Review: not what I thought it would be
Summary: 1 Stars
I have previously had this type of product with the 2 rubber grippers at the bottom. Often, one side would lose the screw, the rubber would fly across the room, and it was useless. Thinking this was a magnetic reacher it would be better, I was surprised. When you grip the handle to actually pick up something, the gripper at the bottom isn't large or strong enough to do the job. So, it renders itself useless. I just bought another with the rubber grippers at the bottom!
