Every dropped item is a bend, and for plenty of people every bend is a risk or a jolt of pain. A reacher turns floor-level and top-shelf retrieval back into a one second, no-drama movement.
We stock three that earn their place: the Easy Reacher, the Helping Hand Featherweight for anyone who will use it many times a day, and the Helping Hand Arthrigrip, whose trigger needs minimal hand strength for arthritic fingers.
The differences are grip force, weight and jaw type, and the wrong one ends up in a cupboard. Tell us about your hands on 1300 216 888 and our pharmacists will pick correctly the first time. Reachers are NDIS consumables, funded from the core budget, delivered Australia-wide. After hip surgery? Combine a reacher with a dressing stick and sock aid and the six week no-bending rule becomes liveable.
