Where hand pain or reduced grip strength is the limiting factor, the handle is what decides whether a reacher gets used. The Classic MAX from The Helping Hand Company has a cushioned gel handle that spreads pressure across the palm and steadies the hand through the squeeze.
It picks up from the floor, off high shelves and out of awkward corners, with a non slip rotating jaw that grips both small items like coins and bulkier things like jars. A magnetic tip picks up pins and keys, and the dressing post helps with socks and sleeves, so it doubles as a dressing aid for clients who cannot bend to their feet.
A stick clip holds it on a walking frame or stick so it travels with the client and is there when it is needed.
