Product Reviews of Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Product Review: Really works well
Summary: 5 Stars
This grabber is well-designed, sturdy and works very well. I pick up pieces of paper from the floor without crumpling them. The magnetic tip grabs paper clips and other metal. In a pinch, when no one is around to help, I even use this to remove wet clothes from a top-load washer to put them into the dryer. I have lower back problems, and this is a back-saver!! Much, much more functional than the cheap ones you get for $9.95 at the drugstore.Product Review: Select the Right Size
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm 5'5" and found the 26" reacher too short for me; I have to stoop to use it. If you're my size or taller, I recommend the 32".
I like the product overall but find the knob at the top of the handle annoying. It's there so you can hang it, but the knob is uncomfortable in my hand.
Product Review: THE ALUMINUM REACHER
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS ITEM IS GREAT FOR THOSE WITH BACK TROUBLE. ELIMINATES THE NEED TO EITHER BEND DOWN OR REACH UP TO HIGHER STORAGE LOCATIONS WITHIN THE HOME. EVEN HELPED WITH YARD CLEANUP. WELL WORTH THE PRICE.Product Review: Terrible Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Got this product last week, and immediately found that the jaws didn't close properly. The closing/grabbing mechanism uses a cord between the trigger and the grabber end itself, and the string is too long. Returning the item was not an option, because I need it, just having had back surgery. So I fixed it by crimping a ferrule around the cord to shorten the cord by about a half inch. A half-inch error!!
I had one of these from another manufacturer a couple of years ago, and loved it. Passed it along to a friend after I was through with it, and he used it until it wore out.
No more Duro-Med for me.
Product Review: Terrific
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly terrific product. Precise enough to pick up a dropped pill (medicine) that is only about 1/8 inch diameter, strong enough to pick up Sunday newspapers and more. Light-weight, easy to use. Heart operation and I am not allowed to bend over. With this, I don't have to. The magnet has proved useful a couple of times. Highly, Highly recommended. I am very happy with this reacher grabber.
