E-Z Grabber Reaching Aid

Thank you, thank you!

Try reach, extended reach, grabber, I've even seen gripper grabber....

DH bought one because he goes on garbage detail along our woods. There is a wooded block before our house even though we are within city limits, it seems to inspire people to throw their drink cans and fast food wrappers out. Makes him crazy and he picks it up but with gloves and a 'reach', you never know these days what you might come in contact with.

I have one left from having hip surgery, I won't let him use it for garbage ;)

Bed, Bath and Beyond has them.

We have 3 of the Ettore 49036 Grip 'n Grab in various parts of the house. They come in very handy, Amazon has them for a little under $17.

They are probably near the pharmacy at cvs and Walgreens too.

GOT ONE! At WalMart, called Deluxe Gopher II

I got the cheap one at $ tree

JoAnn, I have that one from Dollar Tree, but it is difficult to use for some things, as DT's doesn't have the rubber grabbers at the ends. Mine was like $9.88 at WalMart.

I gave one to an extended family member last year and you would have thought I gave her a gold nugget. She tells me over and over how much she likes it. I use one to pick up fallen twigs/branches that fall or that we lop off trees or bushes. It saves my back.

And friend told me this: you can reach those clothing items in the bottom of the washing machine without hurting your back.

I bought one for Denny after he had his stroke...
I went to an Ace Hardware.
I think it was about 25 dollars....but it will pick up a dime.
It is called an "Unger"

here is the web site (if they still have the same web site)

I love mine....I use it to retrieve Paco's toys from under the beds/sofa/chairs/fridge, lol.

Being as I'm short, and not comfortable on step stools anymore,, it comes in handy with my ceiling fans adjustments.

Did you find one, Glenda?

Linda, YES, and I've already used it :o)

I got one at our local hardware store.

There's also a toy one which isn't designed for arthritic hands, but is really useful. It's short, so good for confined spaces, and it picks diverse things up remarkably well. Robot Claw

plllog that is the only toy that I "accidentally lost" of my son's. He loved to pull the lever over and over and over and over, so that it made a clicking sounds. Oh my, it was obnoxious.

;)

I think mine is the Gopher version. I'd like to send a warning, tho: In the photo someone posted earlier, do you see those 2 curved side pieces? They can be very sharp if you should happen to grab the Gopher near them.
