Tools and Hardware Reviews of Folding Helping Hand Long-Reach Pick-Up Gripper - Light Weight Aluminum Body
Customer Review: Works well for picking up small items; lightweight.
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the product to work just fine for my purposes. I don't use it to lift heavy items. (I have an upper back injury and can't lift much anyway, even by arm.) Have used it to pick up items as small as a dropped pill. My 13-yr-old used it to pick up trash on a clean-up expedition, and it worked fine. Had mine a year and one of the rubber "feet" popped off. I could probably reattach it, but can't find it! So, I'm picking up another one (or two). For the price of a couple of Starbucks, it was worth the money for me. Oh, yeah, folds easily for travel.Customer Review: don't waste your money on these grabbers...

I bought these grabbers because they looked like the Gopher Grabber by Ontel that I bought in Walgreens Drugstore. The Gopher Grabber is the best... easy to grip and the business end (the grabber part) is made of rubber which is flexible and pliable and can pick up pieces of flat paper off the floor. The gripper pictured here have grabbers that are made of hard plastic and can't "grip" anything. They are frustrating to use because whatever you are trying to grab keeps slipping out... save your money and the the Ontel version.Customer Review: pick up

I use these tools when I walk on the side of the Autobahn (the nationally coordinated motorway system in Germany) in Germany. I find many dead rodents that I pick up and store in a bag. I usually take them home to prepare if they're not too damaged. I also use it to pick up bottles of whiskey (I siphon the leftover whiskey in each bottle to form a full bottle) or cans so I can recycle them.
Unfortunately the quality of this brand is really not that good.
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just about every weekend I pick up trash on my rural country road. It leads to an ORV park, so there are LOTS of beer bottles, fast food wrappers, pop cans, etc. This grabber is awesome! I can pick up bigger/heavier stuff like partially full beer bottles, and small items like the straws from to-go cups, cigarette packages, and condiment packages. I may not get as much exercise (no bending to pick up), but it takes less time to do the chore and I like that.Customer Review: CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP
Summary: 1 Stars
purchased this as a replacement for a $5.00 Dollar General Store one (which they no longer carry and was MUCH better). The plastic handle/trigger was chipped when arrived leaving sharp edges, the suction cups do not close together, lock does not work....plastic handle will break soon --- very very very cheap. Would return, but probably cost more in postage to return than the item cost. Don't waste your money. Very disappointed
