Helping Hand 32" Street Master Litter Picker (Colours may vary)

This is invaluable in helping me regain some independence after a chronic back muscle strain. I can't bend over so my starting point was being able to lift things that I'd dropped off the floor - some things you just can't lift with your feet! In addition it allows me to lift clothes in and out of the washing machine from/to hand height. It also allows me to open the window over the bath or kitchen sink and draw those curtains, reach things on high shelves, and lift bag handles to hand level. I have even shamelessly taken it to the supermarket and used it to reach items on low shelves.I chose this slightly more expensive model for the caliper grippers rather than the rotating head, which I haven't yet used. It is reasonably sturdy and manages e.g. a wet towel from the washing machine. Things that are too heavy just slip through the grippers, though, without causing any damage.Overall, this is a great help and not just for older folk recovering from operations! I hope I don't need it for long, but when I'm done with it I have an older relative interested already and I may still sneak it back for some tasks!

A quality piece of kit .. robust engineering consistent with a light-weight design.A very versatile tool .. as with all grips of this kind it cannot hold on to heady objects, but it's shaped jaws (soft rubber) will pick-up a wide range of items and is particularly effective at picking up small objects like coins and pills from a carpet. I can use mine to pick-up and put-down cat food in a plastic (lightweight) dish, grip and put on trousers/ pants from seated position. I'm recovering from a hip replacement operation and found it indispensable .. it will remain a very handy and reliable tool even when I've recovered !It's longer length (81 cm) may make it feel 'heavy' to someone with very weak wrists .. the shorter length version could be better in this case. Highly recommended .. maybe the best of it's type.

Due to cancer I have found I am unable to bend down further than 90 degrees thus making it impossible to pick things up that fall on the floor. The solution to this problem was a 'grabber' as I had seen advertised on Amazon.A 32" grabber seemed to be the ideal length for my purpose as I didn't want a long folderble one or one of the very short ones. I figured 32" grabber would be long enough to pick things up while I'm standing and also long enough to reach things I drop on the floor when I'm in bed. Anyway, 32" grabber arrived quite speedily and well packaged.I was pleased to find the shaft is made of aluminium rather than plastic making the shaft quite sturdy for most purposes. The trigger, gun grip and grasper however are all of plastic. The hand grip is made of a tough black plastic with a softer yellow non slip grip. The other, grasper, end is of a similar construction ie the grasper is black stiff plastic with a softer yellow grip.There is no construction required as the grabber is connected to the trigger with a strong wire that runs through the aluminium hollow shaft. The grasper head can rotate to suite your requirements and the trigger grip is easily operated. With a little practise it is easily able to pick up most dropped items. Having now used the grabber for nearly 5 months I have notice the small yellow pin that keeps the trigger in place has started to come out after a light use. It is easy to push back but it is annoying none the less. Overal this is a grabber I would recommend. 4 stars only though because of the loose pin in the trigger.

This is the second one I have owned of these the first I was given by my OT which I had and used daily for 3 years finally the pivot on which the jaws work to open and close gave way when I fell from my chair and over extended the jaws in the wrong direction and bang goes the pivot and braking the jaws my own fault not a failing in the Handi-grip Grabber this is why I have decided to buy my own and with a longer reach the benefits of this Handi-grip Grabber over others I have used are firstly its very light made from a light yet very strong alloy square shaft body the yellow on the hand grip is a very tactile rubber also the yellow part of the grips are made of a softer flexible rubber which do offer good grip the grip head can be rotated 90 degrees by pulling the grip head out slightly from the main shaft turning and allowing the grip head to fall back into place there is a stop built into the main shaft that only allows you to twist the grip head one way or the other by 90 degrees so you are not able to keep on twisting the head round and round as there's no need for that option as it will only kink up the wire that's in side which is connected from the grip handle to the grip head the amount of pressure you can apply using this Handi-grip Grabber is tremendous when compared to other handi grabbers yet the pressure that you apply to pick up an item using the Handi-grip Grabber is taken up in the flexible rubber of the grip head (that's the flexible rubber inside the grips the actual grip head is not flexible)and doesn't seem to damage stuff I have tried just out of curiosity to damage a CD case with this Handi-grip Grabber and no matter how hard I tried the case was not cracked and I tried lifting up a wet beach towel and had no problem in doing so well I have talked on long enough for me this Handi-grip Grabber will always be my choice of grabber hence why I am buying a new one and not relying on the of chance of getting another make from my OT.
