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

Extended Reach

Each of our reacher grabbers features 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, and easy to store on a shelf or in the corner of a closet. We offer both a Folding Suction Reacher and a Folding Rotating Reacher, which can fold down to half their length for storage in bags, drawers, cars, or wherever you may need them. 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.

Intended Use

Reacher grabbers can be used for a variety of different purposes, making them one of the most versatile mobility aids we offer. See some of the most common uses in our recommendations section below.

Picking up Trash

Trash comes in all shapes and sizes, and so choosing a reacher grabber with versatility is the answer for cleanups. Our Rotating Reacher Grabber works well because it can function in a vertical or horizontal orientation, making it easy to pick up different kinds of trash without bending over. A 4” wide claw width also means it can pick up most objects without straining. Another option is the Suction Cup Reacher. Both are perfect for beach, road, or highway clean-ups!

Travel

Taking a reacher grabber on your next trip lets you know you can always pick up dropped items, or grab anything out of reach. Our Folding Reacher Grabber brings all the functionality of our standard grabbers in a compact, collapsible design. At the press of a button, it can be folded down to half its size, making it easy to store in most bags.

Limited Mobility

If you are confined to a bed or chair or have difficulty sitting and standing, it’s important to make sure all of your must-have items are within reach. The Rotating Reacher Grabber allows you to grab a book, TV remote, or anything else while avoiding injury from overreaching. It’s easy to change the orientation of the grabber claw. Simply pull the claw out of the lightweight aluminum shaft and turn 90 degrees.

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. If you need a more compact version, try the Folding Suction Cup Reacher.

Pregnancy

There is nothing more convenient than a reacher grabber for minimizing the number of times you need to bend over and pick items off the ground, especially if you already have young children to clean up after. The Rotating Reacher has the most versatile head and works perfectly for this.
