Product Reviews of Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Product Review: Great product given the right job.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was given one of these reachers after a surgery I had over 15 years ago. We have since accumulated 3 of them and 2 of the 3 are still going strong (my oldest one just broke). It can pick up very small items or "large" items like a full can of soda / canned goods. The mouth opens to about 4" so a can is about the largest thing that will fit. However, this thing is built like a tank and can pick up just about anything your wrist can handle. I've picked up a gallon of milk with it and other heavy items. The magnet is very useful for picking up paper clips and the like. With a little practice, you can even pick up a grain of rice with it! One thing this thing has real trouble with is picking up paper. The jaw is made of hard plastic and has a hard time picking up anything that is flat on the floor. I recommend the reachers with the suction cups (not the folding kind) for things like paper.Product Review: Handy % Lightweight!

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: Handy For Light Work - Recommended

The Duo-Med 32" Aluminum Reacher is a real boon to those with limited mobility, since it works well for picking up small objects off the floor or shelves. We also have the shorter Duro-Med Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip, 26 Inch, but like this longer one better for use while standing up. Here are my observations:
+ Long Reach; reduces need to bend over
+ Good Grip Strength; able to hold tightly to gripped objects
+ Magnetic Tip; picks up small metal items
+ Hook Tip; "nub" is useful for snagging shopping bag handles
We have had ours for at least five years and it has held up very well.
Recommended!

Product Review: Helpful reacher
Summary: 4 Stars
I am using this to help me in the garden. It won't lift really heavy things but helps me pull up the hose to move it, etc. It is lite which is nice. Haven't had it long enough to know how durable it is. It uses a nylon cord to pull the claw, and I wonder how long this will last. But so far I am pleased with it.Product Review: I Love it!

I am in a wheel chair and I love this. I can reach things that are high and pick up things that are on the floor. I bought more than one so I can have them handy!
