32'' Long Grabber Tool, Grabbers for Elderly Grab It Reaching Tool with Light, Grabber Reacher Tool Heavy Duty with Rotating Jaw & Magnet, Folding Stick Picker Upper Trash Grabber (Blue)

Update #1 - Amazon came through with an exchange and it did have the batteries (size L1154C). The flashlight is very helpful at night or in cabinets. This tool has been incredibly useful for the obvious reaching of items low and high. It does not have a lot of rigidity so pulling open lower drawers or pushing them closed is a challenge if they're heavy or have lots of resistance. However, in exchange for low rigidity, it's very light weight and foldable. I think if you're looking for an all-in-one tool, this is it. If you want something that is a bit more durable (i.e. made of steel), then go for something with less frills and not foldable; you'll be much happier for it. Rating updated to 5 stars because of ease of return, low cost, and multi-function. Sure there are some things that could be improved. But at this price point it did what I needed and then some. I feel I got my money's worth.Original Review - I got this product because I recently had spinal surgery. The OT recommended I get a grabber tool to help me around the house. This product has been great except for the flashlight portion. I'm giving one star here because there's no batteries, and absolutely no indication on what size of batteries to put in. I'm happy to change this rating, but as of right now, I've had no response from the seller in trying to resolve this. The product can be great, but customer service has to be up there as well.

Omg such a great gift these we’re stocking stuffers and I got calls on how useful they are. Easy to use even with delicate accuracy in using. Light weight my granddaughter uses them she’s 9

As a person of a certain age living in a dreadfully cluttered studio apartment (where I have lived for some forty years as I write this), I have found that a reacher tool is a VERY useful device.After an aluminum folding reacher tool I've used for years recently had some sort of unfortunate close encounter with my cleaning lady (I don't want to know!), I needed a replacement and found this model, which has the features I was looking for:* It folds up with a hinge -- some models just have you pull one rod from another to collapse the device, leaving the gripping activator cord exposed -- not a secure or desirable arrangement, in my opinion.* The gripping head can rotate 90 degrees relative to the trigger handle.* One of the gripping jaws has a magnetic pick-up hook, useful for retrieving small metal objects like nuts, bolts, and screws.* This reacher includes an LED flashlight you can turn on or off with a switch.* The gripper jaws have anti-slip surfaces that seem superior to the suction cups of my old unit.Though I'm not sure how durable this plastic reacher will prove compared to a metal model, the plastic seems to be of good quality, and the device is rated to pick up items weighing two pounds.I must report that I had a little problem installing the three button batteries for the flashlight. First, I couldn't tell which surface of the batteries was meant to be face up, necessitating some experimentation (answer: larger, flat side up, small side with green stripe around perimeter down).Second, the light then wouldn't stay on unless I pressed down on the battery compartment hatch, even though I had screwed that hatch closed as tightly as possible using the Philips head screwdriver provided. The answer to this problem involved bending the bottom battery contacts up a little bit to make tighter contact with the batteries.Am I happy that the manufacturer uses button batteries, supposedly rated at 120 hours (which I don't believe for a minute)? No, I wish the flash used a more common AAA battery instead.But at least the switch is of good quality, so that's something.At any rate, time will tell how durable this reacher proves to be. I'll update this review if it doesn't go the distance...

Firstly the product was working quite well being able to pick up the smallest of objects with the rubber handles picking up just about anything. I was using this just about everyday being careful not to pick up heavy objects as they would break in my experience.The bad: bought this October 19th and lasted me until today (Nov 28). about a week ago I started to notice the metal cable fraying and then today I found it total severed.For product developers: a note for future development, consider using a type of plastic sleeve to prevent the fraying of the cable or use higher quality cable

(I’m giving this 5 stars so that you will see this before you buy it. My actual rating of this product is 1 star.)I’ve purchased this grabber in the past for both myself and one for my 81yr old mother.I don’t expect these to last forever, so when my moms grabber broke I ordered the same (or so I thought) grabber again. I also ordered one for myself since I was ordering anyway.The quality has greatly diminished. It cheaply made now. My moms broke within just a few uses. (literally the third time she used it). She’s 81! It’s not like she has a strong grip! The light switch on mine broke the first day, and one week later it broke picking up a Kleenex off the floor. (Seriously!)I returned mine right away, hoping it would be one of the better quality ones like I used to get from this company. But no, I got a replacement that was the same poor quality.I’m so disappointed in this company.Do not buy!!!!

Great picker tool. Even the flashlight feature has come in handy for us. Sometimes I have dryer sheets fall under our dryer so I use this to gosh them out. It’s also come in handy for waste on the street that blows into our lawn. Great situational purchase!

Used for picking up trash wil mowing because its a pain to get off the mower 500 times. Work fine. Easy to use. Quality could be better. They tend to snap after a few months. But the price is ok. Lightweight. Saves your back pain.

This works great for when I'm picking up trash after hours, at one of the properties I clean. It's durable, the light is small, but it's bright which is awesome
