FTH Grabber 31"

I bought this as a pond tool and is works really great!!! It reaches far and is VERY durable. It allows me to firmly grasp pond weeds and algae with no trouble, unlike alot of other flimsy pond tools. This is very well made and I’m happy with the purchase.

Absolutely an amazing item. Use it every time. I’m on my lawnmower to pick up sticks. .. easy gripper it picks up everything very easily

I have bought just about every brand of reach and grab tool in the past 20 years, because I am very rough on them and they break quickly. I use grabbers to pick up driftwood pieces I find on local beaches and I've found that most grabbers are too flimsy for this. Not this puppy! It works great, and the 40 inch length insures a long reach and no bending over is required. This is the strongest and most durable grabber I have ever used, but it is still light weight enough to carry for hours at time. The stainless steel jaws are perfect for picking up random sizes of driftwood. They also work extremely well when I need to grab yard debris, like weeds pulled from flowerbeds, shrub prunings, and especially pine cones! It is handy to use around my firepit since the steel jaws are not going to melt. Of course these cost a lot more than all the others, but I've spent a lot of money repairing and replacing all the cheaper grabbers. I will definitely buy these grabbers again. I will comment that the serrated steel jaws are not made for picking up smooth objects, like a glass bottle, for instance. I prefer using a grabber that has silicone suction cups for indoor use, and I use the steel jaw grabbers outdoors. Unfortunately, these are not "all stainless steel", as I was lead to think. I was surprised to find that the handle grip and trigger are plastic. I am concerned that the plastic parts will be weak links that will break before any of the metal parts. I do not think repairing the plastic part of the grabber would be possible, which is a bummer. For that reason, I have revised my original rating from 5 to 4. I encourage the designer to improve the long-term duability, and make all parts replaceable. Update: After several months of hard use the grabbers have held up and continue to work as intended. I am mindful of not putting excessive force on the handle in order to avoid breaking the plastic parts. It's holding up so far and these are my #1 go-to outdoor grabbers!

My boyfriend loves grabbers and has me sold in them too. When I’m tired it’s so much easier to pick up the debris that’s blown into the yard after a storm or pick up the clothes off the bathroom floor (let’s be real. After taking the hamper out of the bathroom to do laundry it takes at least a week for it to get back in there right? No? Just me?). Now the problem is my boyfriend should really be a durability tester for… well everything. He seems to be just going about life normally but somehow his shoes, clothes, phones (don’t get me started on the phones) and yes grabbers don’t last more than a couple months. Honestly with the grabbers we’re lucky if they last a month. Now those grabbers aren’t cheap to replace every month or two and it’s been draining the bank. Then I saw this beautiful, durable, work of art. I told him if this one didn’t last, we were going to have to develop one ourselves because we couldn’t afford to keep replacing them. This is the real deal. It worked so well for him that I bought a second one for myself. It’s super lightweight so I end up carrying it around because I forget I’m holding it. You would think with something as light as this is that it would bend or break with pressure, but I was able to lift and move a gallon of milk from where it fell (long story) up and over a fence, across the yard, up the stairs, and into the house. This thing didn’t bat an eye at the weight and the grip it so easy to maintain, my hand didn’t even cramp up doing it. My hand usually cramps up carrying the gallon from the car to the stairs so the fact that it was easier to use this grabber than carry it by hand amazed me. The only thing I would change about this miracle of a device is to add rubber to the teeth because trying to pick up anything metal that’s round with it is like trying to catch a greased pig. It’ll slip and slide on it. I used some electrical tape on the tips on mine and it solved that issue. This device is worth not just its weight but also my weight in gold. We have gone through dozens of grabbers that all failed the boyfriend durability test. This is the only one that passed. I’m going to have to order a couple more so my kids stop stealing mine. Parents if you have teenagers who act like picking up their room is cruel and unusual punishment, this is a game-changer. My teens who would have to be coerced into picking up their room by changing the wifi password, now steal my grabber to pick up their room without having to be asked. There are also different lengths to choose from which is amazeballs because I’m short and the longer grabbers are unwieldy and awkward for me (my boyfriend prefers the longer ones which makes sense since he’s taller). This is very likely the best thing I’ve purchased in years. Buy it. You can thank me later.

I finally broke down and purchased this grabber after breaking many of the cheap, $10 and $15 plastic ones. The cheap grabbers that ship about a foot long and then you have to unfold and lock into place. After about four of those in a year, I realized I could have just purchased one of these. This grabber is definitely a massive improvement. It's all metal (except for the plastic handle) with very strong tongs on the bottom. They are much stronger than the other grabbers with a wider surface area and teeth. No rubber coatings here. I could easily pick up a can of soup with it without it slipping out of my grasp. My only complaints about it are I wish you could turn the head as you can on the other cheap grabbers. The head on this grabber is permanently stationary. That, and I wish the handle was bent instead of just being straight. But those minor issues aside, I foresee this one lasting much longer than any of my other grabbers so far. It's definitely an improved step up in strength and durability.

Love these grabbers! I use them to move logs about in the fireplace and to pick up windfall in my yard and garden. They even work for light weeding in and amongst the flowers.

Very good quality and durable product

Great article. Closed easily and picks up well . Strong pinchers.

This is a good quality grabber. I am six foot five, have worked hard labor all my life, am getting older, and drop things more than I like nowadays. With the ground so far below my arms reach this grabber is a knee and back saver keeping me from having to make the trip down to get things by hand, then wonder if I'm gonna be able to make it back upright again. I like this grabber because it has the full metal claw and the long length. The claw teeth are a good shape and strong. Even with the extra length of the shaft this grabber has enough strength that I have used it for grabbing several items that far exceeded the grabbers intended use and it did not warp, bend, or break. The claw's teeth were not affected. The claw grip strength is decent, though lighter than other claws that have 90° fingers. It will let things slip when being aggressive with it, but with the right squeeze and some technique I have managed to do a lot of heavy work with various successes. I chose this grabber specifically because of the metal claw so I could sterilize it with all types of chemicals and steam treatments. I have used open flames on it several times. The first time I expected it might not survive as I do not know what the inner linkage between the handle and claw is made of, but it didn't melt or lose strength in the flames. I have used this grabber to pry and scrape frozen dog doo out of the ice in the yard, grab burning embers and logs in the campfire, pull large objects like bags, tools, and water jugs from the far end of the back of my truck, feed ratchet straps under or through a load on my trailer, used it to assist my balance by grabbing shrubs and tree branches while climbing up steeper sections of hiking trails, picked up large rocks, rescue a dropped cell phone out of the lake, and in many other rough use ways. It still looks essentially brand new. Of course the technique of how I have used it is a large part of why I have not destroyed this grabber yet. Nonetheless, I must give ample credit to the quality of the grabber itself for its part through it all. I have used numerous grabbers of all brands, designs, and materials. This grabber is certainly in the upper class, if not in first place for overall quality, utility, and durability. I am very pleased with it and feel I have gotten more value out of it by far than the cost put into getting it.
