Folding Reacher

A folding reacher offers convenience and ease for people with limited range of motion. It can be carried around without taking much space. It also makes traveling a little easier knowing that you can still reach and pick up or grab objects even if you’re in a different environment. Some reachers extend to thirty inches.

How Do They Operate?

Item reachers are usually lightweight and require minimum hand strength to operate. Some operate with a trigger and others do not. There are reachers designed for people with severe arthritis, wrist deformities, spinal injuries, or minimally functional trunk musculature.

These do not usually require finger function and often operate from a T-shaped toggle lever at the top, instead of a conventional trigger and can be operated with the mouth.

Reachers or long handle reachers usually have a magnet on the jaw that can pick up items such as needles and nails. The reacher helps people with disabilities or range of motion limitations perform some daily living activities more independently.

Item reachers can be found without the folding feature. They are just as effective but just cannot be folded. Item reachers vary in price and style. Some refer to these gadgets as a reacher pick-up and reach tool or reacher grabbers. A good tool to have around.
