Reachers help extend your arm reach when mobility is limited. They can be helpful for picking up dropped items, reaching items on a high shelf, or even used for dressing. There are many different kinds of reachers and how you plan to use them will determine which will be the best fit for you.
Description
This light weight reacher is best used for getting dressed or picking up small items off the floor. It is controlled by a rope and will break it used for heavy items. The head is locked in a vertical position and does not rotate. The handle is smaller and easy to pull than a heavy duty reacher and can be done using two fingers as opposed to the whole hand. This reacher can be used to assist in putting on pants or holding on to shoes. The hook on the end can be used to take off socks or shoes.
