What a reacher helps with
A reacher, sometimes called a grabber, lets you pick things up from the floor or a high shelf without bending or overstretching. It is one of the simplest and most useful aids for staying independent around the home, and it can help with getting dressed too.
What to look for
- Light weight, so it is easy to hold and control.
- A secure jaw that grips both small items and larger objects.
- A comfortable trigger that does not need a strong squeeze.
- A folding version if you want to carry it in a bag or the car.
Worth considering
The Helping Hand Classic PRO Reacher is a lightweight, well established choice for use around the home. If you also want something to take out and about, the Helping Hand Classic PRO Folding Reacher does the same job and folds down to fit in a bag.
