    I received my first “reacher” when i was in rehab a couple of years ago and used it so much i wore out the grippy tip and it would no longer pick things up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However since i am now in a wheelchair full time the longer length is a detriment in most situations

    What was new with this one was the red color

    I have a couple of similar reachers scattered throughout the house

    I also have myasthenia gravis which makes my muscles not work like they should
