T-3044, TelescoPik Adjustable Length Reacher, Wide 5.5” Jaw, 90° Rotating Jaw, Ergonomic Trigger Grip, Aluminum & Polycarbonate, Lifts up to 5 Pounds, 30” – 44”

I recently did major damage to my right leg in a skiing accident and will be unable to walk for the next two months. In trying to survive this I was searching for tools to take me through this period. There are so many to choose from it hardly seems you can only own just one but I needed a tool exactly like this one. I would not argue with any of the other reviews, as I can see the unit is light weight, which is great, so it's likely to need to be treated with kid gloves. And I have only had mine for a day but it's already improved my life greatly. Because it's telescopic I can do more stuff with it. But I don't just use it to pick things up but also to help to rearrange things around me and move them into better position. A lot of the time I find something sliding the wrong way, just out of reach and this unit is just great for getting things back in order. It's true it probably can't pick up much weight but I was surprised to have no problem picking up pennies from the floor with it. It's so versatile and just to be able to use it to lasso one of my crutches makes it well worth the money to me. Having the 2'-4' reach gives you much more space to control and as a result I do not need help most of the time with anything inside my space.I believe this tool, for it's low price and light weight is an excellent tool and should be considered for those of us that are spending most of our time in bed and are very independent.

Bought this to resolve a person with disabilities' problem. Other reaching aids just did not have the extended reach length required. Product appears to be made well and serves the desired function. Only problem for us was the fact that this product had to be ordered from the USA because it could not be found in the UK, but delivery was prompt and the issues with import did not present any difficulties.

I read several reviews on this before I bought it and thought, eh... every once in a while things get broken in transit or you get an oddball piece. So I took my chances and lost. When it arrived the box was undamaged. I took the grabber out of the plastic bag and noticed a little blue piece of plastic and a screw at the bottom of the bag. At first glance I thought it was something I had to screw onto the grabber. Wrong again. It was a piece of broken plastic at from the handle. I wasn’t anything that would interfere with the use of the grabber because it was just a little covering piece on the back of the handle. I figured it would still work, I was wrong again.The grip on this grabber is so weak it can’t pick up a sock off the floor. I tried picking up smaller objects but the gripper part doesn’t even close all the way, never mind close tight enough to pick up a pencil. I tried it at the shortest, midway and longest lengths and none of them worked. Have an adjustable length would be great if it worked. It’s really a piece of junk so don’t waste your money!

I recently became disabled and needed a why to get things off the upper shelves from my wheelchair. But I also wanted something I could use to grab things just out of reach when I was sitting in my recliner and didn't want to transfer back to the wheelchair. This grabber was perfect for both tasks since it's adjustable. The only problem is that you have to extend it at least an inch, or the jaws won't fully close.

I bought one of these several years ago but after daily numerous uses, it broke. It took me a while to find another one but I held out until I did. It picks up just about anything, including the cat bowls so I don't have to bend down which is especially difficult in the mornings . The handle is easy to grip and I like that you can adjust the length when you need to.

I'm wheelchair bound from MS. Over the years, I've probably purchased every kind of grabber/reacher that exists. This is my second Pik Stik brand reacher. The first one has sat unused since a few days after buying it. Why? Because it requires too much hand strength to grip the thing. I hoped that this model of Pik Stik would be easier to squeeze, but alas, it was not. It's also heavier to wield than the fixed length models, probably because they neeedd to beef up the shaft to make it extendable. So harder to lift *and* harder to grip. Not a great combination, especially for elderly or neurologically impaired users.Having said that, this Pik Stik has two features I really like. First, the adjustable length is huge. Seems like I always have a stick in my hand which is the wrong length. Too short is obvious, but too long may not be so obvious. Try picking up an object from a sitting position that is at your feet with a 5 or 6 foot long stick and the geometry becomes apparent. Your hands might be 5 feet apart when you extend your arms, but its nigh unto impossible to use a stick that long to transfer control of an object from one hand to the other. You end up transferring the out-of-reach item (usually on the floor) to a table or bed that is the right height for you to reach without a reacher The adjustable length of this stick solves the 'wrong length' problem readily, if not the intermediate transfer zone probem.Second, the articulating tips of the Pik Stick make it the best tool for picking up a sheet of paper off the hardwood floor (one of the most common reaching problems I have). But the grip strength needed still trumps the easy paper handling capabilities, at least for me.If someone would produce a light weight, easy to grip, adjustable length and adjustable clamp angle reacher/grabber stick, they would take over the market.

Works like a third hand , would definitely recommend it

a person with dexterity problems would find it hard to use this as grip needed is substantial.

Its just what I needed

Replaced an older model with this one. Works well. I left this out over the winter and I had to replace it. Keep it inside during winter weather. This model appears better than the last one. Good purchase
