Grabber Buddy Innovative Reacher Tool with, White, Blue, Aluminum, 48 Inch

I bought this product to augment another reaching tool I use to pick up tiny objects close to the floor. The other reaching tool has silicon suction cups at the end to make it easier to handle tiny objects, but it didn't handle heavier objects very well. So I picked up the Grabber Buddy and discovered what a reaching tool can be if you don't try to cut corners on materials, and decide to build the best reaching tool you can. Every other reaching tool I've tried has been made of the lightest materials and construction possible. While some of that may be by design to keep the overall weight down, my experience is that it's done simply to save on cost and construction (which technically is also cost). The Grabber Buddy has good, quality construction, and while it might not be as light as some other reaching tools, it's still way more than light enough to make it easy to use. It has the added benefit that the handle can be rotated, which comes in handy when carrying long objects. But don't take my comments to mean that the Grabber Buddy doesn't pick up tiny objects. It does, and it does it quite well. The tips of the Grabber Buddy 'fingers' are more rigid than suction cups, so they don't form around an object you're trying to pick up, like suction cups do. I've always seen that as an advantage of suction cup reaching tools. But to be honest, I haven't yet come across anything the suction cup tools will pick up that the Grabber Buddy won't. You won't go wrong with the Grabber Buddy.

My first 48" Grabber Buddy purchased April 2020 finally broke June 2023. I'm surprised it lasted that long. I used it for many things it worked great with trash barrel on wheels that I have I push barrel down sidewalks & pull garbage out from way back in & under the bushes without ever leaving the safety/ comfort of the sidewalk. I can pull 10- 20lbs trash bags of garbage out from behind our 3-yard dumpsters that get stuck back there from people throwing bags over fence & missing dumpsters. Even had a hero moment when a neighbor lady accidently dropped her car keys into the dumpster, I got them out no problem with zero dumpster diving... The shaft is very strong I'm sure I've lifted 20lbs bags with it. First one broke where plastic handle meets metal shaft. It is very long I'm around 5' 11' tall, 6' arm span & little shy of 8' vertical reach I just figured out ways to use it no problem. I'm large & old & very much appreciate an alternative to crawling around, squeezing between things & dumpster diving. It's worth the $20 bucks to me.

Works for in home or light work, mine broke using it to pickup up fallen tree limbs after storm. Probably my expectations were too high, but I have another brand that is all metal and I can even use it as a log turner in my burn pit so I wont buy any more of these except for my wife to use in house.

We got this grabber because we couldn't reach a fire detector in my how that would not stop beeping. Once I gave it to my husband, he was in love. He used it for everything from picking up trash to grabbing his soda from across the counter. For the price, it works great! However, my husband tended to lift much too heavy of things with it, like a bag of groceries. Then the spring snapped. He pouted for a month until I got him a new one. We bought the same one again, and he loves it! We now have a new rule to not pick up super heavy things, and it will last him a long time. We use it every day! I highly recommend. *Warning, if you are buying this as a gift, you can so tell what it is from the box*

If you read any negative reviews here about the Grabber Buddy, Ignore them, trust me, these people are full of B.S and nothing will please them even if they got mouth fed by somebody else. They would complain about that too. This Grabber Buddy easily picked up pills off the floor with no effort. I even picked one up that was so small you can hardly see it for my diabetes. It worked like a breeze. I can't bend over or I fall on the floor and not able to get back up and my son suggested buying this after he spent many hours reading reviews on it all over the internet and here also. I have to take medications and I drop them often and have to ask my son to come pick them up for me or I'll fall and can't get up. I'm 78 going on 79 october 6th with many health problems. I asked my son to type this review because I'm no capable of doing so to this extent. I could care less if some of you think this is just to get you to buy it. I wanted to post this review for people that need the help like I do. This tool is the best. I bought other pickup type tools and they don't work that well. Worthless is my statement. This medication pill approximately the size of an apple seed I picked up off the floor that I dropped on purpose to test this unit did it with a with breeze. Not one issue or complain at all. I love it and that is all I have to say.

Great product

This is a very good buy. I have small hands and I find I have more grip strength with this handle design. It also at the press of a button can rotate for a different angle grip.

Cumple el objetivo de manera correcta, muy buena calidad y ergonómico para cualquier persona, llego antes de lo esperado, en términos generales es un excelente producto.

Great for picking up stuff from the ground, but too heavy to hold up and reach something. Most sturdy one I've used-its my sixth. Super effective! I use it to reach the cords of my blinds every day. I'd love one half the size!

pick up garbage in dich beside road

Fantastic. I use it daily. Will probably buy another in the future.
