5 out of 5 stars A must for a bad back!   November 17, 2007
This product works like a charm. It is also very well-made and durable in appearance. I am very excited about it. I think reducing the number of times you bend over helps avoid back episodes as mine always occur bending and lifting something silly like a shoe. It is also useful in getting things from tough places. The handle is not difficult to use at all. Good purchase at a good price!


5 out of 5 stars You couldn't ask for a better Reacher !!!!!!!!!   August 27, 2007
I bought this for my mom because she had surgery and cannot bend easily to pick things up. Let me tell you that this thing works great. It really does pick up the littlest things like rubberbands and paper clips and it has a long reach that enables you to grab things from a top shelf. It has an easy to control handle that really does not take a lot of muscle strength to use. I highly recommend it.

I decided it was time to invest in reachers for the rooms in my home that I use most, so I oredered three more from [...]: the Invacare Multi-Pik Reacher, the PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, and the Medline 31" Reacher. I put them all through several tests of common uses I have for reachers: pulling books down from shelves, picking up bits of paper and coins, and unloading the dishwasher. The results? I found the Invacare to be the most useful for me by far. The Medline seems to require more muscle power to grasp things, so it comes in a close second. The PikStik feels flimsy and I had a hard time grasping things. It has been consigned to the pantry where things are organized so that I do a minimum of reaching.

If the spring is weakened and the "fingers" are covered with shrink tubing it becomes a very good tool.

I am recovering from a stroke and am paralyzed on my right side. This Medline Reacher is perfect!!!

The product was delivered in a timely manner and packed well!
