Dropping something on the floor stops being a small annoyance when the client has hip precautions or a back that will not tolerate bending. The Endeavour Euro Style Reacher covers both ends of the problem: the floor and the high shelf that is just out of reach.
The detail that sets it apart is the trigger. A second lever lets the client squeeze with the whole hand rather than pinching with the fingers, which suits weak grip and sore joints. The jaws have a ridged grip surface for a firmer hold on small items, and the head rotates so things can be picked up lying flat or standing on their side. Four lengths mean you can match it to the client’s height and to whether they will be using it seated or standing.
Two hook points let it hang off a walking frame or a rail, so it stays where the client needs it instead of being left in another room. For a client with very weak grip or a painful wrist, a reacher with a lockable jaw or a magnet tip may suit better.
