Customer Reviews of Duro-Med 32 Aluminum Reacher with Magnetic Tip
Customer Review: Another near useless reacher
Summary: 1 Stars
If picking up small nuts, bolts, and screws with the magnet, and
socks I guess this has a use. The construction is poor. The shaft
is very flimsy, u channel aluminum that bent when the pop rivets
that hold everything together were installed, making the claw
off center so that the ends didn't meet. Some adjustment with
a pair of pliers and now they line up but any thing weighing more
than an ounce will pull the jaws back out of alignment and the item will be dropped. The jaws don't even open wide enough to pick up a can of food.
I would not recommend this.
Customer Review: not what I thought it would be
Summary: 1 Stars
I have previously had this type of product with the 2 rubber grippers at the bottom. Often, one side would lose the screw, the rubber would fly across the room, and it was useless. Thinking this was a magnetic reacher it would be better, I was surprised. When you grip the handle to actually pick up something, the gripper at the bottom isn't large or strong enough to do the job. So, it renders itself useless. I just bought another with the rubber grippers at the bottom!Customer Review: Absolute Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
Is there any rating lower than one star? This reacher looks like the one used in my hip replacement class, but it is useless. It's very cheaply made. The lower "jaw" does not line up with the upper "jaw" or gets knocked out of alignment with even the lightest use. The grip is so weak, it won't pick up anything. If it did, it would probably break. I bought one of each length. They went straight into the trash. Don't waste your money.Customer Review: Disappointed!
Summary: 1 Stars
I inherited a reacher like this from my mother, and it gave both of us great service for over 15 years. This looked like the same product, so I expected similar durability and ease of use, and I even ordered one for a friend. However, the company must have changed suppliers, as the cords on both broke within a month of purchase. I was very disappointed, and would recommend considering another manufacturer's product instead.Customer Review: Not sturdy, magnet will not even pick up five keys
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this because of the length, but it has not worked well. The claw had one string to close it and the magnet is too weak to pick up my key ring with five keys. I have a shorter Sammons Preston version with a double string on the claw for a better grip. I am sorry to say I cannot recommend this product, from this manufacturer.
