1.0 out of 5 stars Good for an hour of work, April 15, 2009

I looked at several of the reviews for the "Ontel GOP2-MC18/6 Gopher 2 Pick Up and Reaching Tool". It had several high and low ratings. Most were high. The lows were a result of the suction cups falling off on the grabbing end due to the screw loosen. I took a chance presuming that I could use some lock tite to resolve that little problem. Unfortunately even though I pre-lock-tited the screw, one suction cup fell off after an hour of use. After looking at it I found the plastic inside of the cup where the screw inserts had broken, even with the light stuff I was picking up off the ground. I would not recommend this product.

I've had two hip operations within a year and this tool has proven its value over and over. The other day I sat on it and it broke at the bend point. I've got some super glue I think will fix it, but I went to a large chain hardware store and bought a new no name grabber for the same price. It doesn't compare to the gopher. The handle is rough edges and cuts into your palm, the grip on objects isn't as strong, and there is no lever to lock the pinchers. Need one of these? Buy the goper!

Ontel Products GOPMO2 Deluxe Gopher Pick Up and Reaching Tool Set

At 74 years of age, this gadget does all my stretching for things for me, saves painful bending over to pick up the newspaper and whatever else that gets scattered about, even turning light switches or fans off & on without having to fight my way out of a big fat comfortable recliner while watching TV. Too many other uses to list.
