This is the long reacher with a locking trigger and a forearm support, built for people who cannot keep squeezing to hold onto what they have picked up. The lock holds the jaws closed, so a client with weak hands can carry an item across a room without the grip failing halfway.
The forearm cuff spreads the load back along the arm so it does not all fall on the wrist, which helps clients with painful wrists, rheumatoid arthritis or poor grip endurance. The head rotates so the jaws can meet an object side on or flat on, and the tip is magnetic for keys and coins on the floor.
The extra length suits reaching the floor from a chair, the back of a bench, or a high shelf while standing, and it fits into post surgical hip precautions where bending is off the table.
