A robust and extra long multifunctional reaching tool to help you reach and grab objects that are a little far away! Use our long reacher to grip without bending or overextending.

Long reachers are commonly used as dressing aids, for picking up rubbish and other hard-to-reach items, and for pinching bottoms (just kidding, don't do that!).

Extra long reacher of 81cm
Conveniently foldable down to 42cm
Rotatable head at 90^o increments
Clasp and release objects up to 14cm wide
Flexible rubber grips along the whole head
Strong incorporated magnet
255g light aluminium design

The long reacher has many applications and is suitable for people with mobility challenges and back trouble, those of us recovering from surgery, and for children.

Is a long reacher a suitable grabber for older adults? Yes, the long reacher is suitable for older adults with a normal grip strength.*

* Please note that this long reacher has been built for durability and effective grabbing. It requires a normal grip strength to squeeze the handle and manoeuvre objects. For individuals with a weakened wrist or hand grip strength, we recommend the Etac reacher with wrist support and the Etac active reacher.

Long reacher - a useful tool

Long reachers help to firmly grip objects without the need for bending or overextending. The long reacher can clasp and release objects up to 14cm and the head can be rotated to avoid the strain of twisting the arm and wrist. The rubber grips line the jaws and this helps to securely grasp and hold objects. You'll find the magnet on the side surprisingly strong, picking up magnetic metal objects such as keys and screwdrivers with ease.

Long reachers are most commonly used:

as a dressing aid to reach and pull up clothing
in fall prevention to reach objects that otherwise require bending or extending too far
for picking up rubbish
and for pinching bottoms (just kidding, don't do that)
Reachers allow you to pick up rubbish without bending or straining
Reachers help us to safely grab rubbish from bushes, streams, or undergrowth without disturbing the environment
Reachers keep us safe by reducing the risk of injury from sharp objects or hazardous materials

Kids love using reachers on Clean Up Australia Day, plus they keep them safe while doing a good act for our land and waterways.

Don't forget Clean Up Australia Day!

Using a reacher on Clean Up Australia Day is a fantastic way to clean up or environment, avoid injury, stay safe, and protect the environment. Here's how reachers can make a difference on Clean Up Australia Day:

Grippy and stable

Theres always something that I need to pick up that is out of reach in the home or out in the garden. The grabber comes in handy and has always picked up what it has needed to. Tested out the magnet as well, and it is strong. The rubber around the claw is grippy and adhered well.

Hi Ari, thank you for your positive feedback on our long reachers. We're glad to hear that the grabber has been useful in both your home and garden. It's great to know that the magnet and grippy rubber have also met your expectations. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to serve you well.

Let customers speak for us

from 520 reviews

Seniors like to deal with Australian companies.

I am 80 years old and a very strong supporter of Australian-owned companies.

I needed a special "Information Clock" for my wife who has short-term memory loss. I checked several websites and selected The Independence Shop as they are Australian and their presentation was good quality.

They sent follow-up emails and I thanked them for their information and their business style. I will deal with them if we need other seniors-helpers and refer our friends when they need them.

I wish Chris and Rosie best wishes for their future.

Satisfied customer

I purchased four products, each has proved good value, easy to use and three had no batteries to chase after.
What I also liked was this was a local business with personal delivery which was very prompt.
