Hi, I purchased the Pick Up Reacher and it was the best thing I ever did. It helps me in so many different ways, not only does it enable me to pick up items that I can't reach, it is also very useful to pull on my socks. It has numerous uses, i would highly recommend it to anybody out there. The construction is very durable and easy to operate. I will give it 5 'plus' out of 5. A Fowler.
