Sadly it arrived damaged in transit. Due to poor packaging. But was quickly replaced. Handy gadget ,perhaps not as strong as expected, but l have Arthritic hands so that is why l choose it.Suitable.for light weight things .Wouldn't advise trying to get tins of shelves with it. Can pick up even the tiniest of things with it. All things considered, happy with it.
Strengths
Easy to use with weak grip.
Weaknesses
Not terribly sturdy.

Grab it
I bought this to help me pick things up off the floor more easily. It is easy to use even though it was damaged in transit.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone who has problems picking up things.
Strengths
It does the job. You can order different lengths to suit your own needs. It is very light.
Weaknesses
It is easily damaged in transit because it is so light and only packaged by one plastic bag. It had nothing to protect it and so when in the courier van something heavy was placed on it and damaged it.

Helping Hand
Recently ordered a long handle grabber to help pick items off the floor as I use a walking frame and find bending over difficult. Simple to use and has a good grip. First one I received was bent in transit but Care Co sent a replacement within a few days after I sent them pictures of the bent original item The grabber will come in very useful.
Strengths
Ease of use
Weaknesses
Quality could have been better

Grab it and go!
I discovered these grabbers one day browsing in CareCo. I found them ideal for reaching and grabbing loads of different items. I wouldn't be without them as I can't reach high up, being disabled and using a mobility scooter, in and out of shops. I grab items both high and low, saves a lot of annoyance. Indeed, I've bought more grabbers three tmes, as i find it really useful to have one in every room, 2 or 3, even, and different sizes.
Strengths
Whichever size I use, I can reach most things. A great help all over the house. (and in the supermarket, I take the smaller size tucked into my mobility scooter and reach most items from higher shelves.
Weaknesses
After a lot of use, the reacher can get a bit stuck after locking onto something and has to be pulled apart. Not sure how to remedy this so I order more grabbers!
