One of the best benefits of owning a Grappler is that you can clean up messes. A great example of this is if your pet decides to rip something up and spread it across the yard or house. The Grappler allows you to clean up the mess without having to bend over. In addition, it allows you to pick up dead animals and the like from around your yard. Sometimes your pet may play the role of hunter and having a grappler allows you to safely and sanitarily clean up the mess. The Grappler is not recommend for cleaning up your animals “business,” because it may cause more of a mess. With that said, the Grappler should be your go to when faced with the challenge of picking up something that you do not want to touch. Just remember that if the item is squishy or can collapse when grasped it should probably not be picked up using a grabber tool.

Playing Fetch

Dogs love to play fetch, but owners don’t love handling balls and other toys that have been thoroughly coated in drool. For this, a Grappler is very useful, as you can grip the ball or other item and toss it without having to touch it with your hands. This means you can keep playing fetch and making your pooch happy and you don’t even have to touch the item you’re tossing. If you just happen to accidentally toss the item into the shrubs or trees, you can retrieve it easily as well. Having a Grappler when you own a pet is always a win.

Unique Uses for the Grappler

Grapplers are also very helpful for unique animals, such as snakes. With the flexible rubber grips, you can lift a snake without injuring it, and also keep your hands and fingers clear of those dangerous fangs. The Grappler can be used to retrieve items from cages, especially tall or awkward cages that are difficult to reach into. Another great use for the flexible grabber tool is retrieving pet toys from hard-to-reach locations, such as under sofas, beds, or other furniture. Ferret owners can easily identify with the need for this, and many other animals hide or lose their toys as well.

A flexible grabber tool is a wonderful sidekick to have when you’re a loving pet owner.

Trash Pickup Tool Makes Pool and Backyard Cleanup Easier

Most homeowners want their yards to look manicured as well as neat and tidy. This usually means continuous pickup and a lot of work. A trash pickup tool can make that work a lot easier, especially in the backyard and around the pool. A trash pickup tool is an extended reach tool that allows individuals to pick up things out of their reach, or to pick things up from the ground without constantly having to bend over. It’s a handy tool and a great investment; something everyone should have in their storage closet or outdoor shed.

Cleaning Up the Pool with a Trash Pickup Tool

A trash pickup tool is a great way to pick up debris from the pool, from leaves and pine needles to discarded toys. You can easily reach these items in the pool without having to get in, and the grabber tool provides more control for cleaning than a typical pool net. It’s also a great way to grab toys or items on the bottom of the pool without having to go under the water. A trash pickup tool is a great way to grab things when you’re already inside the pool as well, whether it’s a cold drink, sunscreen, or goggles for your little one.

Cleaning Up the Pool Area

While it works great for cleaning the actual pool, a trash pickup tool is also a great way to keep the area around the pool clean. A well-used pool area often needs regular cleaning in order to look great. Whether you’re picking up soda cans, litter or other debris, the trash pickup tool makes it easy and minimizes bending. This saves you from the back pain and strain that often happens with this type of labor. It’s also a great way to weed floral areas around the pool without having to bend down or get on your knees. So, having a trash pickup tool is a great way to keep the decorative areas around the pool immaculate.

Other Backyard Uses for the Trash Pickup Tool

In addition to the pool and pool area, owners of a pickup tool can use it for various things in the backyard. From hanging decorations without having to pull out the ladder to picking up debris in the yard, this type of grabber tool is invaluable. Homeowners can use the extended reach tool to retrieve and hang bird feeders, remove trash from shrubs and trees, hang lights and other holiday décor, and much more. This kind of tool prevents individuals from having to use ladders, which helps prevent accidents as well.

If you have a pool, it’s a great idea for you to utilize a trash pickup tool. Having one handy both inside and outside the house can help make large jobs a lot easier.

Grapplers Reaching Tool Tops Folding Version of the EZ Reacher

When using a reaching tool to perform chores around the house or duties outside the house, individuals should be able to trust that the reaching tool is sturdy and dependable. According to customers who have utilized the EZ Reacher that folds, it’s just not as sturdy as it should be. Alternatively, the Grappler holds strong and stays dependable during use. This is very important no matter what type of chores the user is performing.

The Difference between the EZ Reacher and Grappler

There are quite a few differences between the EZ Reacher and the Grappler, especially when it comes to extending. The EZ Reacher folds down for easy storage while the Grappler is a solidly built reaching tool that is available in different sizes for when you need a longer or shorter version. The EZ Reacher features “suction cup” grips and the Grappler has flexible “fingers” that easily grab items of varying shapes and sizes. Finally, the EZ Reacher’s handle is formed like a trigger while the Grappler’s handle works much the same, except it has finger cutouts for a better grip.

Weakness with the EZ Reacher

The flaw in EZ Reacher’s design comes in where it folds for storage. When extended, rather than having one strong, continuous shaft the way the Grappler does, the joint on the EZ Reacher becomes a weakness. Because there is a point of weakness, the EZ Reacher flexes or can bend and break at the joint. In fact, one customer had the EZ Reacher break on the second day of use when trying to pick up a 19 ounce can.  The customer said, “The part that broke is made of blue plastic and is apparently a weak spot between the two ends which are made of metal…” Other customers have said that when they try to pick something up, the EZ Reacher folds during use.

Why the Grappler is So Much Stronger

The Grappler is created from aluminum and made in the USA. There are no weak areas on the shaft of the Grappler reaching tool, which makes it ideal for picking up heavier items. In fact, customers praise it for being one of the strongest reaching tools created. Customers say things like, “The Grappler tool is made from heavier, stronger materials than most reaching tools,” and, “It has a wide mouth and a strong grip, and the shaft is rugged enough not to bend under quite a bit of weight.”

Conclusion

While the EZ Reacher may be a great household tool to use for very lightweight items, it’s not a safe bet when it comes to anything weighing over just a few ounces. Those who are looking for a great quality reaching tool to pick up kitchen items like cans, dishes, pots or outdoor work like picking up litter and trash should stick with the Grappler. Proven tough and strong enough to handle big jobs, the Grappler consistently outshines its competitors and performs well with all sorts of tasks.

The Grappler is created from aluminum and flexible rubber parts and is made in the USA.

Individuals who drive pickup trucks can really benefit from having a grabber tool with them at all times. It can be a huge help in many different situations. These amazing tools aren’t just for reaching things in your kitchen cabinets or picking up litter from the ground. If you drive a pickup truck but don’t have a grabber tool in the cab, life is about to get a lot easier for you!

Groceries

One of the best benefits of having an extended reach grabber tool inside your pickup truck is that it allows you to easily retrieve the groceries that you put in the back of your truck. This is especially helpful for when you don’t want to let the tailgate down or if you’re in a hurry. If your groceries slide to the front of the pickup truck bed, you can easily reach out and grab them if you have a grabber tool. If a can or jar slips out of the bag, it’s easy to reach and pick up with a grabber tool, so you don’t have to climb in the bed of the truck for one tiny can or box. This makes life a whole lot easier on grocery day!

Washing Your Truck

Another great advantage of having a strong extended reach grabber tool with you when you drive a pickup truck is it can be very helpful when you’re washing and drying your truck. For those tough to reach areas on the top of the truck and the center of the hood, the grabber tool is priceless. Simply grip a soft cloth in between the arms and reach right up to wash or dry. This prevents the need to climb on step ladders or reach the top of the truck by climbing on the tail gate or the bed of the truck. It can relieve strain in your back from stretching as well.

Work Trucks

If you drive a pickup truck for work, an extended reach grabber tool can be invaluable to you. With tools, tool boxes and other equipment and supplies loaded into the back of your pickup, the grabber tool can be helpful all day long as you go about your job. From retrieving tools that are out of reach to saving your back as you clean up after a day’s work, a grabber tool is a helper that will save you a lot of aches and pains at the end of the day. With some extended reach tools being as long as 48-inches, it’s very easy to get what you need without having to stretch at all.

For Use with Tonneau Covers

Some pickup trucks make it impossible to actually get in the bed of the truck to look for items because they have a hard Tonneau cover. With an extended reach grabber tool in the truck, everything is easy to get, even with the Tonneau cover in the way. From retrieving supplies during a camping trip to organizing items in the bed of the truck, a grabber tool literally makes every job easier.

Whether you’re a pickup truck man or woman who drives their truck for work or pleasure, a grabber tool with extended reach capabilities can be invaluable for many different reasons. From reducing back strain and fatigue to navigating in tough spots, a grabber tool makes life a little simpler so you can get to the good stuff.

Grabber Tool: Perfect for Bird Feeders!

A grabber tool allows individuals to reach things they might not normally reach, and as an extension of the hand, lets them grab those items. This is a very big help when it comes to bird feeders, especially for seniors or individuals with disabilities. Grabbers should be kept in the garden shed or in the home to help with tasks in the garden, especially when it comes to bird feeders that are designed to hang in trees or specially constructed poles in the yard.

What Exactly is a Grabber?

A grabber is an extension of the arm, which consists of aluminum arms that end in flexible “grabbers.” Individuals squeeze a trigger-like device and the jaws of the grabber close, allowing users to grasp onto nearly anything, from super-small items like a toothpick to larger items like a bottle of soda. There are many, many benefits to using a grabber, especially for outdoor jobs and chores. It is very handy in the garden and helps individuals reach beyond their arm length.

No Ladders

Using a grabber tool to hang the bird feeder means that individuals do not have to climb on ladders in order to reach the feeder or to replace the seed. This is important for older individuals, as it prevents the possibility of an injury resulting from a fall off the ladder. Users simply reach their arm up with the grabber and grasp the bird feeder to lift it, or raise the bird feeder up and hang it where it belongs – all without needing to climb at all. This is a much safer method than climbing on ladders and trying to reach bird feeders from dangerous positions.

Protecting Bird Feeders from Cats

With grabbers, individuals can hang their bird feeders out of the reach of cats and other animals that might want to annoy or even harm those pretty birds. Bird feeder poles are available and wonderful to use, but they can be hard to reach without the help of a ladder. The grabber tool will reach them and help get that bird feeder out of the reach of cats and other potentially harmful animals.

Price

Before purchasing the grabber to use with birdfeeders, many people are going to want to know the price of the tool. They are extremely affordable, and cost less than the price of a ladder. For just a few dollars, individuals receive the peace of mind knowing that they can get the things they need without having to climb on a ladder or bend over to pick the feeders up. For this reason, it makes a great gift for older people who cannot quite move around the way they used to. It can reach things and pick things up off the floor, and do much more.

Grabber tools are very helpful and should be considered by anyone who has beautiful bird feeders or who has garden chores to tend to. It promotes safety and allows individuals to get things done quickly and easily.
