Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off you need to decide what you need one for. Picking up trash, limbs and debris outside? Then don’t buy this get a heavy duty one that costs $40 to $50. I am old and have a bad back so I use mine to pick up clothes, dog toys and dog food, and especially the left over pieces of sharp milk bones that hurt like hell to step on in the house. I also pick up threads and stuff I don’t want to get into the vacuum cleaner. This $14 one is not made for heavy lifting, or for putting glassware or heavy plates in the cabinet. You will need to spend at least $30 or more for one for that. This one is for light objects, no more than a pound and if you don’t try and lift heavy stuff it works great and lasts forever. I have been through a dozen of these over the years. I prefer the suction cups to the rubber coated finger kind. Pick stuff up much better. But for certain thing might be better, like getting a glass from an overhead cabinet. I have a heavy duty one from Lowes for picking up stuff outside, trash that anuses like to throw from their cars into my yard, and the cigarette butts my mail lady thtows by my mailbox EVERY day and pi cones and sticks ect. I bought this lightweight one 8 months ago for use in the house. The only issue I have had so far is one of the nuts that holds the suction cups came off and got lost. I emailed the company and they were ready and willing to send me a replacement one if I wanted. But I told them all I needed was a new suction cup nut so they sent me a new pair of suction cups and nuts so now I have extra if another falls off. These are good grabbers. If you are like me and read the negative feedbacks first to hear the truth, not all the fake five star ones at the top, then pay no attention to all the people griping and crying because they didn’t know the differences between them and just bought the cheapest, or bought one for light use when the needed a heavy duty one. Not the grabbers fault you cheaped out and didn’t buy what you needed. For picking up shoes, socks, underwear, light clothing, dog toys, spilled dog food and partially eaten treats, and small trash you don’t want to go up the vacuum then this is the one you need. Lastly, never buy the folding ones. It’s just another place to be a weak spot and to break too soon. Need one for a specific task, ask me in the comments to my review and I will be glad to share my experience with you. I do not represent any company or seller and my opinions are all my own, from my own experiences using different types of these grabbers. Michael
