Product Reviews of PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, 32 Inch, Yellow
Product Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product because the advertising suggested that it was a higher quality than most and it had the locking feature that I thought would help due to my arthritis - but I was disappointed with the gripping power - it does not maintain a good grip on heavier items such as food jars etc - most disappointing was the locking mechanism - it locks but does not unlock with out having to manually open the jaws - the levers on the handle intended to release the item held only worked a few times - now they do not. It is more trouble to return than it is worth it so I will find one in a store that I can actually test. Hopefully, my particular reacher was defective and others will not have the same problem. Product Review: Not bad at all

PikStik Pro Alluminum Reacher 32 inch is just what I expected a quality light weight device! I was so happy I decided to buy two more but at 42 inches. Unfortunately, it was too long and hard to use! The 32 inch is ideal for the daily routine chores around the house. Especially when you have a new 50lb 6 months choc. labador. Product Review: PikStik Pro

Summary: 1 Stars
I had back surgery a few years ago, and I have used just about every "grabber" made and the PikStick is by far the worst I've used. It states that it can pickup items up to 5 lbs, fact of the matter is that the PikStick has a very hard time picking up anything over 1 lb. The grasping tips are rubber and grab things well (like paper and very light/small items), the problem is that it can't lift (no torque on the jaws) items like a shirt, canned goods, a soda, dropped utensils..... I spent 5 minutes trying to pick up a fork the other morning! The arms are too weak and are easily bent out of alignment. If you are in need of a reacher/ grabber, get one with the suction cups on the ends, or the ones physical therapy sell you with the one moving jaw/magnet on the end. Don't waste your time and money on a product that will disappoint. Product Review: Disappointing product

I had hoped to use this product at the grocery store and was sorely disappointed with how useless it was. For small, light items it was fine, but for larger items (i.e. jar of spaghetti sauce, pack of meat,small bottle of salad dressing) it quickly lost gripping power for items over 1 1/2 lbs. It could not effectively grab a knob to turn on the stove, or grab a cabinet handle. For small, light things,it performed beautifully.
