Product Reviews of Duro-Med Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip, 26 Inch
Product Review: Good Lightweight Gripper - Recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
The Duo-Med 26" 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 longer Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip, but like this shorter one better for use while sitting down. 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: Good Reacher For the Office
Summary: 4 Stars
I have discovered there is no one grabber/reacher that will serve all purposes. I have several models in my home for different uses. This one is best for use when seated.
I have one of these in my office (along with a 24 inch Nova Reacher Dragon). While the Nova Reacher is good for larger/heavier things like full cans and bottles, this one is good for getting smaller/lighter things that are out of reach.
The magnetic end is not glued in and I lost it soon after I bought it. This is not a disadvantage for me because it will now reach into tighter spaces than my other reachers. It has enough control to be able to pick small things up from the floor like pens, paper clips, CD disks, and pills. I like the hard rubber gripping insert on the end of the wand. It holds things better than the ones with the foam inserts, and unlike the foam inserts, this one hasn't fallen out.
The handle (behind the trigger) broke a while back, but since I only use it for light weight use it still works fine.
I like it well enough that I will be buying another one to put in the bathroom.

This is a great product, well designed, well made, very handy for anyone who has limited mobility or difficulty reaching small items. My dad tried one while he was in rehab and liked it so much that we purchased one.Product Review: Great Grabber If it works\ing
Summary: 2 Stars
I had a total hip replacement and I ordered this reacher to help me put my clothes after surgery.
I received it on Friday and Tuesday of the following week broke due to string coming untied in the reacher.
String is so short that can not be tied back by hand.
Called Customer Service at their location in Georgia. I Got a recording that all customer service reps were busy and someone would call me back when they came available, I am still waiting!
