Duro Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Click Here For Customer Reviews On Duro Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
The 32″ aluminum reacher has a plastic handle and jaw, and the brushed aluminum frame makes the reacher extremely lightweight to use. It is the perfect tool to use for those hard to reach places and the attached magnet tip picks up lightweight metal objects. The reacher adds 32″ to an individual’s reach which helps reduce back stress due to bending and stretching.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great helper
This is a must for those who have trouble bending or reaching as well as for those like me who are clutzes and drop things into tight places!
4 Stars solid performer and design
I purchased this to replace an Invacare Reacher after its cheap plastic construction failed and snapped at the “neck” on the first day of use. I purchased two Duro-Med Aluminum Reachers for nearly the same price and find them much more durable and useful.
1 Star not what I thought it would be
I have previously had this type of product with the 2 rubber grippers at the bottom. Often, one side would lose the screw, the rubber would fly across the room, and it was useless. Thinking this was a magnetic reacher it would be better, I was surprised. When you grip the handle to actually pick up something, the gripper at the bottom isn’t large or strong enough to do the job. So, it renders itself useless. I just bought another with the rubber grippers at the bottom!
3 Stars Plastic Eventually Breaks
I have purchased several of these over the last year. I use them for my job (I deliver mail), and they always seem to break in one of two spots: the trigger or the handle. Sometimes I will get a couple of months out of one, some times a couple of weeks. If the handle and trigger were reinforced or made with something other than plastic, I could likely use them forever. A few have popped the clamp on the rope off the end. If you can find the clamp and re-clamp it, it’s fine but I had to tie a few in knots to keep them going.
I’m probably not a typical users of these, but they would be a much better reacher with my suggestions. For normal people, I would recommend them.
