I have two Unger Grabbers, and they pick up something as a tooth pick or penny. Also they can grip glass bootle.

These comparisons are super helpful. Thanks! The standard length of 32" is too short for me (6'2") so you want demo it when picking something up from the floor. You want the shortest one that accomplishes the task without bending (shorter means more stable, and short also means you easier navigate what you picked up into a trash bag or whatever). Avoid a folding model as that feature compromises stability. Gauge grip strength when holding the item not nesting the claw(?). Re your winner: The suctions cups fall off in short order. Doesn't effect the ability to pick up trash and might even improve things. The handle on mine snapped off when picking up something heavy.

My grabber I brought from Harbor Freight, it was only 2.99, I"ve had it for about three and.it works great!

Just want to add my 2cents… I just had back surgery, got the “suction cup” one—on second day of using it I grabbed a sock off the floor & it broke (cable inside came apart from handle) My friend took it back for me where I bought it & got another one (same one) Gave it to me, & it didn’t last 24 hours—it broke again!!🤷‍♀️

Thank you. Going to go with the Unger -- need something sturdy.

[TeddyJSmooth]

My city workers use them all the time.

rubber cups are best for all in home uses

[TeddyJSmooth]

Suction cups are great for an elderly person who reach places. However, they aren't to be precise as the unger.

Trying to grab a 5 pound weight is insane 😆 but I truly do appreciate the video. 🙏

It is often difficult to complete dressing with the suction cup one.

I would do a second video where you use them for a prolonged time. You will find that most that work your weaker fingers over time become very very uncomfortable. The only one that doesn't is the Unger Grabbers, not that they don't have issues, ( hook breaks easily and becomes un-usable / puts more strain on your wrist over time.

ty your video was perfect, , , , such a big help..

[uynwzmb]

Would any of them pick up a small corelle bowl from the floor I use to feed my cat? Thank you.

I'm in a wheelchair and oddly enough the one with the magnet came in handy when I dropped my keys and it hit my shoes and went under my bed.... I couldn't even see what I was doing and when I pulled the grabber back out they were attached to the magnet... But will I ever need it again? Only time will tell...

It folds up for those trips to Vegas so you don't have to bend over to pick up your winnings.

[crouchinghamster]

The cheap ones break at the handle (which is made out of brittle plastic).

[TeddyJSmooth]

Five pounds is a lot for any grabber tool.

[Poschet]

"I don't know why you would want it to fold" Uh...maybe so it would be more compact and easier to carry in a backpack or auto??

[jonirichards]

That Ziyad is TRASH! There's a 1.5 space in the claw when the handle is fully squeezed. Doesn't grab worth a damn!
