It's especially good for under beds or a quick clean up! They are always on Amazon and ebay for sale. What are your favorite ones? ---

I am not sure of the "technical name" but I can't live without my "grabber". I have a hard time reaching up and also picking stuff up on the floor....so that would be my favorite at the moment ---

I also like my graber (they called it a reacher in the rehab clinic) and sometimes a pair of tongs is a better choice. ---

Oh yes, I've had one of those for years to reach things on the top shelves in my kitchen! They're a great invention! Tongs, never thought of those, Dave! ---

Those wonderful huge kitchen shears that double as a bottle opener! (My children cringe if I reach for a sharp knife while in the kitchen hahaha) My 'reacher' is my 6' 5" son :) ---

LOL Gerald! Some days I cringe when I reach for a sharp knife too! Days like today that are cold and windy, with low barometric pressure! Yes, that's the very best kind of reacher!
