Fine job James. You always let the viewer come their own conclusions about a product, while presenting a balanced + and - report. Also, the dark background of your opening and closing is great; it allows the viewer to focus on you, the product, and especially what you're saying, while not being distracted by any background.

i got the giggles when you dropped the lightbulb and cut out the end of that sentence! good review sir and i am definitely glad to be subscribed to you for your content.

They definitely didn't test this product with the right consumers. My MIL is 83, she uses something similar, except it doesn't have those hard to push buttons. Thanks for the review😃

My mother in law just broke her back and is wearing a back brace always. Shes not able to do stairs, sit or bend. The brace wont allow her to do to much and its a 24/7 brace. Too dangerous to take it off. Anyway two days ago we were talking about a reacher. She had bought one from the dollar store. It sucked ofcourse. What are the odds that you would review that when my mother in law needs it. Since she wont be doing any heavy lifting (like the flour) this might be helpful. Thank you James. Love the video.

I have tried several different grabbers including the one you get at the hospital. My favorite is the Pik Stik. The shorter version works best. It has the grabber that can be either vertical or horizontal which is very useful. I did find the 3 foot one harder to use. It was unstable. It did however work on getting stuff out from behind the stove or dresser. I keep a short one in my car.

Yeah. I want to hold glass over my head with that.

Got a no frills version when I was first confined to wheel chair. It's now 20 years later & still works. The no frills version is easier, has a little magnet at one end. It's not that pretty. THAT PRODUCT HAS RIGHT NAME , " RACHET!"

My uncle made one of these years ago out of scrap metal, his does not have dime precision, but his favorite demonstration is picking up a brick. And I really hope you will be doing the new Bell and Howell tac glasses, I want to buy those for a family member who struggles with glare while driving. You would be the first on KZfaq to do them I believe.

I have the Grip N Grab and it works well for me. i use it mostly to pick up things I drop from the floor as I have trouble bending. If you have trouble with the button I know it'll probably irritate me so I'l stick with my Grip n Grab. Thanks for the review!

its gonna fall!!! this whole demo was an emotional rollercoaster

Best reviewer around! Love your vids! We always check your channel before shopping, keep up the good work.

I bought one and as a small woman with nails I just couldn't get into ratchet mode. I was trying to reach a cat carrier that is basically cloth with a handle on top (think backpack) and it was impossible. I was trying to grab the handle, I didn't care if it swung back and forth I just wanted to get it down. I got it down, it fell of me so that wasn't great, I like the rest of the features but I agree with you on the ratchet except I wasn't worried about the button braking, I couldn't get it to work at all. Also, if you don't decide to put it into ratchet mode until it is reaching up you can't do that because it takes to hands to move it. Sally

My mom had a similar thing a few years ago when she broke her knee. All she used it for to reach stuff on the coffee table since she couldn't really get up. I don't like the button you have to switch back and forth. If an elderly person was using this due to limited mobility, they might not be able to push the button. And boo for false advertising with the light bulb and bag of flour!

Being a wheelchair user, I've tried these, anything that folds will break, it's so weak there is so few uses for it.

Thorough as always. Lightweight as usual is not a plus for a tool where a 1 lb can is a struggle to lift. Great review.

My Gopher serves the purpose I bought it for - collecting stuff that falls down behind appliances. It's pretty sturdy, though I've not really weight tested it. the suction cups on the ends seem friendly for more fragile items. I'd like the light feature.

Is there a way to fix it if it's stuck in ratchet mode? I've moved the button up and it still won't let me do standard mode.

If you have to use 2 hands you're defeating the purpose. I've had others like this because I'm so short, and none are worth the price.

I have a similar device that has two plastic suction cups on the grab part. It's called the Gopher II. It basically has the same flaws as this one when it comes to trying to reach heavier items from a shelf. All long distance reach devices have the same issues.

how do you repair these when the metal wire that runs from the trigger grip to the claw breaks, or detaches? they"re better than the suction cup style, but still they break easily.

I love mine, but now it's not staying straight in the middle if I'm holding it with that button marked PUSH facing downward. I didn't misuse it; it just began flopping in half so I'm not sure if I have to push something back in place or is it actually broken? I bought it on sale and found out it was probably returned because the rachet didn't work, but I fixed it. Hope I can fix this problem now!

The button to unfold and lock the length didn't work after two uses. I'm 70 with some dexterity still and I had a hard tim picking up anything odd shaped, or heavy.

This is absolutely the best kind of grab it tool there is, the best!!! I have one.

I got a claw device just like this with lil suction cups on the end, to pick up litter with, on Amazon for only ten dollars and it works amazing, do you want a link?

I'm disabled (have CRPS in 3/4 my body) & hv used a lot of these reachy grabby things. I'm _super_ impressed with picking up that coin. May need to look into one of these...even tho it seems to have some issues (I'm approx 1/2 way thru vid so far)

Could you find out of new product just seen 4 mold mildew stains on all surfaces inside & outside called Instagone. Thanks.

Have a metal one that was bought at hardware supply store. It amazing, light weight and has picked up over fifteen pounds. Makes moving 5 acres easier.

the fold button on both of my grab-it failed. it would not hold in place....I tightened the screw and even removed it and reinstalled and still no good. the button to fold is frail and fails to lock the arm in place.

I'm in a WC and hate dropping things on the floor. That grabber looks OK 2 me, especially picking up coins. Dropping a coin absolutely sucks. How it locks when picking something up's pretty cool. And how it folds up looks cool 2. That looks better than having 2 carry a grabber that don't fold. Nice review.

That bend in the middle was a pain, until it let go with a can of dog food! Luckily, I was lifting frkm floor, not overhead. That can would have hurt. Of course, it broke past return date and email to company went unanswered, so that brand left my list. Hope others have better luck! The can of dog food actually landed on Abbie's foot! She yelped from surprise more than pain, since it was about inch above. I was trying to get around her to feed her. But that yelp made my decision!

How do you get the LED light to come on?

Another great review! As for the product.....the light is a nice feature. Lol

I cannot believe you tried this with a CFL bulb. Those are nasty if they break. There are specialized tools specifically designed to change light-bulbs. I have an old-school grabbing gadget that I bought at an estate sale. I mainly use it to pick up items that have dropped to the floor in hard to reach places.

I have a lightbulb at the top of my stairs that I cannot reach without some dangerous contortions on a crazy ladder, was hoping this would be the solution but I think not. Thanks for the review!

Mine won't even lock when you straighten it out

I love these videos because it’s true, it’s not clickbait & it’s not 10 minutes just for money

I was going to have knee surgery, I got the 2 for 1 special. The first one never made it out of the hospital. It broke at the bend . The second on snapped at the claw. I love what the tool is capable of doing. The cheap plastic it's made from isn't worth the money.

I bought mine awhile ago and lost it inside my place, just found it and pulled a plastic tab and a little light came on I can't turn off, that little button doesn't make it turn off, also I cannot move that button to change to ratchet mode. The button that makes it fold also doesn't work and it's wobbly. I can use it for a few things but definitely not worth the $20 I spent.

This is a very good device as you see my other post I got it for a little over $17 as for ask for the little switch that changed to ratchet it's not that hard to engage push botton then push switch forward or back depending on what feature trying to engage has little lip that helps if you operate a collect correctly the batteries for the LED flashlight or in the head just below the Jaw while it may not pick up the type of lightbulb that the ad for this video shows that will grab regular type light bulbs you must use the regular mode grab the bulb then Engage The Ratchet it will hold on if you grabbed it correctly but as for the top a lot bully used in this video it probably wouldn't be good but changing one like that because of the odd shape though I do think the hook should be on one jaw in the magnet on the other so it doesn't get in the way but this is one of the best grab devices I'm seen and I looked through a lot of them on eBay I recommend this model above all others I did see some by sellers that had metal Jaws but this is one of the best for the price I paid a little bit over $8 a piece all the way it should have been cheaper specially for as long as I had to wait I waited 14 days for it to show up the seller stated it was in Australia when it was actually coming from China other than that it was a pretty good deal I thought yes I recommend this mall

The intro music was intense 😂

this thing could be better if you could use this thing with a 45 deg on it

You sure were brave to try bulbs and glasses with that thing. I would not risk it after seeing the some of the other tests.

Why wouldn't you place the bulb more securely at the end of the grabber with your other hand, like you would in a real-world use? You wouldn't put the lightbulb down, then grab it from 3 feet away, and try to screw it into the socket.

This one. 3 years ago. Haven't seen. But went thru 50 I have to get to it.

I hope you know the iron clad rule about shopping at BB&B you MUST always use a coupon. You did just save me $20 I've been looking for a grabber because I'm having back surgery and I was told they're helpful. I think I'll just stick to having my hubby grab stuff for me. 😊

How to give me a near heart attack for 8 minutes and 50 seconds.

Grabbing the glasses gave me so much anxiety😂😂😂 I expected them to come crashing down to the ground

I will pass on this product. Thanks!

Little late to the review...I remember when I was handed my grabbers for trash picking at the rest area where I worked cleaning. Seemed ok. Until I considered the concept of whomever "ticket man" was. This dude rolled by on occasion and blessed me with a torn up ticket log in a hundred pieces all along the fence line behind the restrooms. None of the others had any pointers of how to handle such tasks but I can assure you I found frusteration with this gadget and just ended up bending over and going for it. Haha.

I have one similar and like it

I can’t even put a light bulb in with my hands and I’m 6’ 4” lmao

Just saw this one: it's called the 5 minute Red Copper Chef. I know you have an abundance of red copper products so I wouldn't blame you for not checking it out, haha. It's another fold over cooking apparatus, very reminiscent of the square one you have.

I bought one of those cheaper grab its and I'm not comfortable using it for anything breakable. I bought it because I'm short and need help reaching up high.

Also great job to your camera man!!!

It seems like it is not much better than the ones at the dollar store. The last one we bought from the dollar store has lasted years and works surprisingly well for all sorts of things.

Maybe it's good and useful for people on wheelchair they need it the most and because they have strong hands

I see those all over dollar stores, that one is probably better tho, maybe if you could find one in a nearby dollar store you could compare in the aftermath video

:45 "I'm going to do it a little differently this time?" Are you asking or telling?

Who would use this? Crippled ppl so how do they expect them to press those stuff ass buttons

most grabbers are for itens that wegh like 6 ox or less i feel.unless u wanna drop over 50 bucks

Looks pretty flimsy.

The only thing I am not satisfied with about the grab it tool is that it is not very sturdy where it folds while extended. It is very shaky, like a wobbly side to side motion. Other than that it is ok to me. Is anybody else’s like this or is something wrong with the one that I have???

Maybe compare this grabber with others and see what one comes out on top. I know one of the biggest reasons to have one of these is for people in wheelchairs.

I'm glad I found this review because I was considering buying this. I think I will pass though. after watching the video if he's using two hands most of the time that presents a problem for me. the commercials make it look like all you need is one hand. thanks for the review.

This thing makes me think of Pemblockto from You Suck at Cooking.

You didn't show the jewelry hook and how well it works or if it works at all.

They need 2 improve the switch button. Don't like hard stuff. Supposed to be easy 4 people have issues too. Why they always fall short. If they call it the same, same color, just improve it,then it be great. Use both hands 4 the bulb. I just knew it. How they make it look so on TV commercial ? Hmm. Yeah glad didn't buy it. Billy May's that came out years ago with 2 suction round cups type things on end of tongues I believe, with 1st type of these devices red & black color was different. I like this color, etc, better. It rotates, has light, magnet. Yeah is good 2 reach stuff.Ift collapses 2 be compact travel, space saving or can go in drawer,so I don't think others have this features. So I think your wrong or forgot that or overlloooked all that. Like which you recommend then ? Also, on the Atomic Lighter you didn't do the hot water boil or the freeze & 1 or other tests can't recall rn. Just saw commercial few times in last few hrs as it repeats on H & I station. It's been a while so can't recall.

Would be a good idea to revisit it nowadays with the corona virus threat

thats the point of the button, to be so hard to pull, in order not to switch to other mode by accident

would it be good for dumpster diving ?

When I first opened the package, I couldn't push the button to open it. My husband had to do it. Now, it won't lock open. Not very pleased.

You did a great job, especially since you replicated what the company promised it would do.

Im disappointed this didnt really work very well. My inlaws struggle with mobility and we considered this to keep them off footstools but it seems like this product would be even worse if it drops and breaks something all over the floor.

ii broke my neck/back recently and had to use one of these to pick things up off the floor, this one is absolute junk compared to some other ones out there. mine broke within a week and is now stuck in ratcheting mode which makes it annoying as hell to use.

The bits with the glassware stress me out. :x

I've been relying on your reviews before buying anything. It really is helpful thank you. BTW are you single???

Over time the weak point is the plastic folding mechanism in the center.

How about small snake

Please please please! I love your videos! I just never watch them in order. As they come up. I've gotten to a point where they show the ones I've seen again an again. I wish there was a way I could click on your channel and just see vids I've not seen before. Talk to KZfaq bout this!

I Love it I call it my 3rd Hand

this was really stressful.. holy smokes

Much stabler? Much more stable.

抗力臂比施力臂還長本身就是種錯誤設計, 沒有偵測物體表磨擦力就只能加力至最大, 使用者常判斷錯誤 很容易不穩固, 其它的設計瑕疪本片就很清楚了

stone cold is doing reviews now awesome lol

This is a second version of grab it

This grabber would work better if it didn't fall apart!

*with this, i will be grabbing ratchet at the club all night.*

Seems ahight. Thanks bra!

'reaches up with both hands, and ends up five and a half inches from the object anyway....

As any plastic item, it is destined to break.... I have 2 older grabbers a long and a shorter one..... they have bent and broke but I fixed them as they are more metal than "the modern day doom of plastic" ...... They could not hold 5 lbs. of flour either or grab every item off the shelf...... but they are still used regularly for the job of GRABBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like my cheap imitation grab it tool :) Thanks for the review I will pass on this one :)

I just want to buy this coz I breed rats for my pet snake.. I can't grab the rats using my hand.. I'm glad someone invented this thing.. Good job!

Gonna use it on people lol

Dont we have hands tho?

The light and magnet are the only plus in this item. Not impressed 🙄 Great review

It has potential but is made cheaply. Sux they advertise being able to screw in a light bulb yet it doesn't hold any securely & if u r still using those god awful spiral fluorescent bulbs like u tried 1st & they drop & break, u now have poison all over your floor & most ppl don't know how to safely clean up a broken bulb of that type. If it's on carpet, ugh.. if u have children or pets u will want to replace your carpet cuz u can't vacuum without causing more health issues & add poison to vacuum which will blow out each time u use it cuz powder can get Trapped in hose, filter, canister or bag. The tape method of clean up isn't going to get all that powder & glass out of rug fibers & every nook & cranny of most carpets. Bare floor easier to clean but still dangerous to break on any surface & clean up needs to b hella thorough especially with pets & children. Honestly best to not use those poison bulbs & stick to LED but if an elderly or handicapped person especially tried to change 1 of those bulbs, good luck cleaning up the health hazard & worse if they aren't aware of the hazard & contaminate vacuum for life etc. I wish some1 would come out with the Ultimate grabber that works for everything ppl need it for from light to heavier items & different sizes & shapes with lots of durability.

Got on eBay$1738 Free shipping and tax only extra charge be careful 2 sellers selling two for this price one in China take 3to 8 weeks to get one only takes 7-14 day's don't buy kind with two suction cups at end brakes ezy this one better don't expect miricals will work for what i need for cheng regular light bulbs everything works as advertised will last for years

i like your video😬

What a massive shame. It would be so great for being in a wheelchair, but it has so many flaws it would be more of a hassle than anything. A better solution is probably a pool net so you could just scoop things off the floor.

A paid demo version of a claw machine game.
