5.0 out of 5 stars
It is the best brand for sure., May 15, 2007
This review is from: PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, 32 Inch, Orange (Health and Beauty)
YOU WILL LOVE THIS. I am well pleased with this product. I have used pics sticks for years, both the plastic ones and the metal ones. I'm very rough on them and the plastic ones break occasionally (I try to pick up objects that are much too heavy). I have used a metal one now for almost a year with no signs of wear. I recently bought two of them from Amazon as gifts. The price at Amazon is less than one half of what I was paying at the hardware store. You can actually pick a straight pin off of the wooden floor with this -- it really works, I have done it many times.

PikStick Pro Aluminum Grabber, 32", October 10, 2007
This review is from: PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, 32 Inch, Orange (Health and Beauty)
This is a quality product at a great price. The 32" length is great for most applications. It is better made and easier to use that most other grabbers. I have very limited walking and bending over ability so I use grabbers for most anything (newspapers, pens, paperclips, empty soda bottles, dead bugs, etc). My only complaint is it will NOT pick up one sheet of paper due to the jaw pads being too slick. I am attempting to fix this by putting some duct tape on the jaws. The locking feature (lock the jaws shut) works much better than other models! I additionally like the ability to rotate the head 90 degrees.

PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, March 8, 2007
This review is from: PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, 32 Inch, Orange (Health and Beauty)
Overall the device is ok. Despite what the manufacturer says about the product, you are not able to pick up a 5 pound item. You can not pick up anything that has some weight or is bulky. There is not enough leverage to pick up items with slight weight on it. The device is only as good as the individual's hand and arm strength. I would not recommend picking up overhead objects. I'm currently 8 months pregnant, so for me it's a benefit when picking up light pet toys, individual clothes, light towels for laundry, papers etc. If you need to pick up light objects it's great. Or if you have items located in the back of cabinets and you need to bring them up front for your hand to grab this device is good.
