You get what you over pay for!
This really is made for shorter people or to pick up items about six inches or so off of the ground. Now granted, at six one bare foot ( and fresh out of back surgery ), I am slightly above average, but you have to hold this at about a 45 degree angle in front of you to make both ends flush with the ground because (as shown in the picture) one end is shorter than the other. I have honestly found comparable ( if not better ) grabbers/reachers at dollar type stores and large hardware stores from just under $2 to around $4. I would not use this to pick up heavier items ( let's say a pickle jar or a can of whatever off of a shelf, I feel it is too weak ) but for picking up a shirt or piece of laundry off of the floor or from the back of the drier or a tennis ball up to throw for your dog it should do just fine.I am keeping it because it DOES match the sellers description, but it is only useable to me right now for picking up items sticking up from flush with the ground. I would venture to say because of the different length ends, if you are looking to pick up an item flush off of the floor/ground, it is made for those under around five foot six.Remember the old saying (&#34;you get what you pay for&#34;)? For the money, I have found Pik Stik's to be more functional, also I bought a blue and white<br />&#34;UNGER&#34; from Bed Bath and Beyond also with a rotating head for about $20. Twice the price? Yes, but waaaay more than twice the product/ value in terms of overall usefulness! I hope you found this helpful and thank you for your time. Sincerely.....Dean&#34;o&#34; from Livonia, Michigan
