Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ontel Products GOPMO2 Deluxe Gopher Pick Up and Reaching Tool Set
Customer Review: Flimsy folding joint
Summary: 1 Stars
If you want a strong tool this is NOT for you. The folding joint broke within 3 or 4 weeks under normal household use. The rubber cups easily pull off metal studs. There is no place to get repairs. While the Gopher is really cheap, I now need to buy another one because it only lasted a month! I found the original version of this product called the ArcMate EZ Reacher and it's guaranteed forever! The price is twice the Gopher but the durability and guarantee make it a better bargain. The Gopher product seems to be a cheap knock-off of the more durable ArcMate reachers.Customer Review: We love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's advertised for older folks who can't reach far, but we found a different use. We have two young children who are forever dropping things in the car. Rather than stop, pull over, get out and give it back, we can hand it to them directly (not the driver of course). We saved valuable start and stop time on our eastern seaboard vacation - besides it's much safer than pulling onto the sholder of a major highway! It's not flimsy at all and it can pick up things as small as hair barretts or a piece of paper without trouble!Customer Review: DISAPPOINTMENT
Summary: 2 Stars
I ACTUALLY LOVED THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. THE LOCKING FEATURE WAS THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE.
I GOT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS, AT THE END OF FEB. IT FELL APART. THE SUCTION CUPS FELL OF AND THE SCREWS WENT FLYING - COULDN'T FIND THEM. I TRIED SUPER GLUING THE PCS BACK TOGETHER - NO HELP. I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AT WALGREENS AND A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THAT ONE. THEY NEED TO BE MADE STRONGER!!!!!!! PLEASE REDESIGN AND TRY AGAIN.
THANKS,VIRGINIA SALTER
Customer Review: A handy tool to have around...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had one of these for a few years and used it occassionally to reach things up high. Recently, I broke my ankle and have been confined to my recliner for the most part. This tool has become very important to me to be able to get things I need without calling someone to help me. I am ordering an extra pair to keep around the house.
For those of you who haven't been able to find replacement suction cups, they are available online from Ontel products at [...]
Customer Review: Gopher Pick Up and Reaching Tool
Summary: 1 Stars
This product would be the answer to our wishes if only the suction cups didn't dry out and fall off after a few months!
I wouldn't buy another Gopher if they were 50 cents each! It is disappointing to find such a well designed tool, only to have this most important part fail to hold up! Perhaps the rubber is not of good quality or the screws are not the best way to fasten to the prongs...to keep gluing cups back on is not an option for older people.
