This is the everyday reacher: the one that lives beside the chair and gets used a dozen times a day for the dropped remote, the mail on the floor and the tin on the top shelf. It suits a client with hip precautions, back pain or limited reach who needs to stop bending and stretching.
The aluminium bar keeps it light, the nylon jaws hold light household items, and the trigger is overmoulded with a soft grip so it can be worked with the whole hand rather than one finger. A magnet on the tip collects pins, clips and keys, and the hooked trigger doubles as a dressing aid for pulling clothing on and off.
The slim profile means it stores against a wall or in a drawer rather than cluttering the room. Two lengths are made: the shorter for most seated and standing use, the longer for a taller client or reaching the floor from a wheelchair. If the client needs a locking jaw to carry anything heavier, look at a reacher with a ratchet lock or a rotating head.
