5 out of 5 stars Reach-it Stick   October 5, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I really like this "reach-it" stick. It is the fifth one in my house...each room has one. My oldest reacher is about 20+ years and was passed down from my Mom when she died. I have tried all the other styles, and this is the best. By the way, I keep them handy atttached to cabinet doors, my rollator, and even the headboard just using velcro.


4 out of 5 stars Great Product   October 4, 2007

I really like this reacher for picking up smaller objects. It does a great job and the magnetic tip is good for coins. You may want to consider something with a wider grab span if you need to pick up larger items like large cans or something a bit heavier.


5 out of 5 stars Get A Grip On Things!   March 26, 2007
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful


The Duro-Med Reacher with Magnetic Tip is helping me get a grip on variety of items!
Shoes, socks, peanuts, paper clips, pen, pencil, and paper have been picked up by yours truly!
If you're like me you have said at least one, if not all, of the following way too many times.

Starting with: 'Oops! I dropped it, could you pick that up for me?' ~ 'Sorry! 'I've dropped it again!' ~ 'Rats! I can't reach it!' ~ 'Do me a favor and pick that up for me?' ~ Or in total frustration if by yourself, ~ '*#@& That's just great! Now what?' ~ 'Ooh! That hurt! I should've just left it!'

If you relate to any of the above, then this is what you need. Gaining more independence is awesome. The Duro-Med Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip, 26 Inch is ideal for taking clothes out of the dryer, as suggested by the previous reviewer. Thank You, for that great idea. I am using one for the dryer and the Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip for general use both inside and outside the house. Now, I no longer have to rely on others . . . . . unless, of course, I drop the reacher! ~ Mrs. B.



5 out of 5 stars Excellant Multipurpose Tool   March 19, 2007
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have several versions of this reacher. Two are folding and one with a rigid frame. All of these units are sensitive enough to pick up a dime or a grain of rice from a tile floor yet strong enough to lift canned goods and heavier items. One of my Duro-Med Aluminum Reachers is over ten years old yet functions as well as my newer ones.

I have severe back problems so the floor is not my friend. The units have had a significant effect on my quality of life. I keep a folding unit in the car a rigid one in the kitchen and another folding unit in the laundry room where it's great for removing clothes from the dryer and picking up about anything that may end up on the floor by accident.

I highly recomment the Duro-Med Reacher for anyone who has difficulty bending or is restricted to a wheelchair.



5 out of 5 stars Long lasting, works on very small items.   November 4, 2006

This is a long lasting item. I bought one used 10 years ago and it still works just fine. If I can find where my son put it, because he loves to play with it. Also it works best with small items, like candy wrapers when your trying to clean up the yard. It can do large items like cans also. Avoid the one that folds if you can, because there really is no need to fold it up. Just find some place to hang it on a nail.
