The Handi-Reacher is aimed squarely at the client whose fingers are the limiting factor. The trigger is worked with the whole hand instead of a finger pinch, which makes it a sensible choice where arthritis, pain or weakness rules out a standard reacher.
One jaw is fixed and the other hinges on a wire drive, so the action stays crisp and holds its adjustment over time. The jaws open wide and are faced with slip-resistant rubber pads, so bulkier items such as a rolled towel or a drink bottle are held rather than squirted out sideways. The head rotates to reach around obstacles, a magnet on the tip picks up pins and keys, and a small hook on the fixed jaw helps with dressing.
Three lengths are made. The standard suits most seated use, the longer two suit a taller client or a wheelchair user reaching the floor.
