Many of the older crew on here remember going to the market with mom and using a tool I call a grabber to be able to reach products on high shelves. I have had a 24" grabber for years using it to reach hard to get at parts of my layout. I was never able to find anything in a grabber more than about 30 ". I recently accompanied a friend to a grass equipment dealer and was surprised to see a number of grabbers in 2' denominations up to 10'. The ones shown here are 24" and 72". The 72" pictured here was approximately $40 and the 10 ' was about $100. If interested, you can contact the equipment dealer. The name of the company is Grassland Equipment in Latham, New York at 518-785-5841. You should ask for the parts department.

Thanks Bill. That is a very useful piece of information. My wife uses a grabber...

Thanks so much for the information!
Bill:
What is the official name of the tool? I went to the website for Grassland Equipment and searched for
"Grabber" with no results.
Thank you
It generally goes by the name, 'reacher grabber' but could not pull it up on their site. Stick it in the search line and they appear. Try, 'ULINE' site
Its a very handy tool. With my RA it has saved me countless hours picking up things I have dropped on the floor
Hi Randy, I would call Grassland on Monday and ask for parts. The parts dept. sold it to me. They had a few hanging on a wall. If you are not sure what you are buying, I will take a ride over there for you and get the info . I probably should do that and post more accurate information. Last year I bought a 3 foot grabber from Loews and it was broke internally when I opened the package. I just threw it away. these are loose and it can be verified to insure it was assembled right. Send me an email if you need more help. Bill
