Product Details

The Handi-Reacher is a lightweight and practical reaching aid designed to make everyday tasks easier for those with reduced mobility or flexibility. Available in three different lengths, it allows you to safely pick up items from the floor, reach objects on high shelves, or retrieve things in awkward spaces without bending or stretching.

The jaws are strong and reliable, operated by a robust trigger action that requires minimal effort. For added versatility, the jaws rotate and can be set at the angle that best suits the user. A built-in magnetic tip makes it simple to pick up small metal objects such as keys, pins, or coins.

Durable, easy to use, and excellent value for money, the Handi-Reacher is ideal for use at home, in the garden, or when out and about.

    Very useful item

    Review by M. Anderson Posted on 21/10/2025 13:43:27
    'does what it says on the tin' an invaluable aid to me. I can now pick up items when previously I would have had to wait for someone to do it for me.

    From an arthritic old lady, Very useful.

    Review by C. MACGOWAN Posted on 27/11/2024 15:12:02
    Good value for money, in use a lot. Bits of paper, plastic aprons and gloves on the floor can be easily picked up (from carers visits!) very useful tool when you can't bend and are short so can't reach things too far away. easy to hold because the whole hand can be used. See picture. i don't think it will pick up heavy items and anything too wide will not fit in the grips.

    Indispensable

    Review by D. Coleman Posted on 05/08/2024 16:25:30
    This my second purchase, so that I now have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I have very weak fingers but I can easily use this. it is also lightweight. it will even pick up tiny pills if I drop any on the floor.

    Useful item

    Review by S. Liddell Posted on 31/07/2024 19:57:41
    I had previously ordered the shorter version but thought a longer version would prove useful, not sure it would lift and grab anything heavy.

    Just what I was looking for.

    Review by D. Coleman Posted on 25/06/2024 17:02:32
    My fingers are very weak. This reacher is easy to grip and to squeeze. It's also very lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. I can use it for quite tiny things and also for fairly large things. I am going to buy another one so that I have one for upstairs and one for downstairs.

    Great product

    Review by C Manley Posted on 24/04/2017 10:33:50
    The "long handi-reacher" is the best of all the ones I have tried. I would, and do, recommend this product to friends and home carers. A definite five.

    Very lightweight, really easy to use the grip and has a strong hold

    Review by C Whitehouse Posted on 11/06/2015 16:51:08
    This 'handi-reacher' grabber is really good. It can pick up very small and some quite large items. The grip opens and closes really easily and has a good strong hold. Has been used constantly and is great for those with arthritis in their hands. Even been used to pick up leaves and debris when clearing the garden. Excellent value for money for a really handy piece of kit.
