Product Details

This Folding Reacher collapses down when not in use, making it great for storage or transportation.

With robust jaws and a lightweight shaft, it is practical and strong.

Folding down from 650mm (26 inches) to almost half the length, it is a useful packing in a bag when out and about. At full length, it is an ideal reaching aid for those who have limited flexibility.

The Folding Reacher features a magnetic tip, enabling it to pick-up smaller metal objects.

Reaching aids like this can also be used for assistance in the dressing process for the elderly or those whose condition limits their range of movement.

    Very happy

    Review by P Simpson Posted on 19/05/2020 09:25:12
    The reacher was exactly what my husband needed to assist with daily living in comfort. Now he doesn't have to call me every time he drops something so I am delighted.
