Choosing the Best Reacher Grabber

What to Consider when Choosing your Reacher Grabber

Be sure to consider all these factors before choosing your reacher grabber.

Jaw/Claw Type

• Rotating Head

  Claws with a rotating head are perfect for versatility, letting the user customize the grip to their needs. Simply pull the claw of our rotating reacher grabber and turn ninety degrees to switch between vertical and horizontal orientations. This allows you to handle a variety of items like cups from high kitchen shelves, loose change on the ground and can even be used for reaching behind appliances.

• Rubberized Grip

  Our rotating reacher grabber and folding reacher grabber incorporate a rubberized grip into their design to make it easier to pick up and hold slick objects. The contoured rubber includes raised lips around the edges to firmly hold a range of different materials.

• Suction Cups

  The suction cup grip on our suction cup reacher grabber can securely lift up to five pounds, including wet objects or slick surfaces like glass. A leaf-style jaw made of springy aluminum makes it easy to get a firm grip.

• Rubberized Teeth

  The rubberized teeth on our claw reacher grabber are made to grip small and large items and is strong enough to hold up to five pounds safely. The rubberized teeth offer additional dexterity, making it perfect for hooking onto smaller objects.

Extended Reach

Each of our reacher grabbers feature 32” of extended reach, with a durable aluminum shaft. This lets users comfortably grab items off the floor from a standing position, or get objects from out of reach areas like shelves or behind appliances.

Ease of Storage

Our reacher grabbers are slim and lightweight, letting them store easily on a shelf or in the corner of a closet. Our most compact option is the folding reacher grabber which can fold down to half its length for storage in most bags. The folding hinge locks when in use and can be bent at the push of a button.

Trigger Grip

The trigger grip included on all of our reacher grabbers makes them easy to use, even for those with low dexterity or arthritis pain. The grip and handle feature an ergonomic design, making them comfortable for regular use, and don’t require excessive pressure when squeezing.

If you are confined to a bed or chair, or have a hard time sitting and standing, it’s important to make sure all of your must-have items are within reach.

Cell Phones, Ipads & Glass Objects

Objects made of glass, metal, or other slick surfaces can sometimes give traditional reacher grabbers a bit of a challenge. In these cases, try our suction cup reacher grabber which can get a firm grip on smooth surfaces. Twin suction cups on either side of the claw are made to grip items as heavy as five pounds, with a wide 4.5” jaw. An ergonomic trigger grip makes grabbing comfortable at all angles.

Small Items

Picking up the smallest items requires dexterity and coordination that not all reacher grabbers can offer. That’s why our claw reacher grabber was designed with rubberized teeth and hook shape that can get a grip on the fine contours of objects like coins or key rings. For a bit of extra functionality, our rotating reacher grabber allows the user to turn the claw 90 degrees, making it easy to pinch from any orientation.
