This is defintely the best gripper we have ever owned.

Over the years it has become more difficult to bend over to pick various objects up. We have purchased a number of low-priced reach extenders/grippers to help solve this issues. However, they begin to break after only a few months of use; normally with the rubber tip grips snapping off. The nifty grabber is heavy duty and well-built. It has had no problem picking up the Sweet Gum tree balls, pine cones, and twigs that litter our yard and must be cleared prior to mowing. It can also pick up heavy objects that we would not even attempt to do with the lower-priced grabbers. Having a magnet imbedded in the jaws of the nabber is a real plus for picking up small screws and parts that may have fallen into the grass or onto a floor. This is a fabulous tool for everyone and not just those of us getting up in age.
