Great purchase….
It’s very easy to use, very durable and great quality. I love the length 42.5” I’m tall so there’s no leaning over as much as the smaller lengths. I do volunteer trash pick up for the city and streams in my area. I would definitely recommend.

Battleship Class Grabber
This is my heaviest grabber. It’s also my sturdiest. The settings are stuck on beast mode. This grabber is pretty much your go to for when you are grabbing something very heavy. It can pretty much be used like a shovel when you have to grab and lift. I bought this for a Garage clean out and organization of a minor hoarder of farm supplies. I have lifted 1 gallon jugs, bowling pins, grabbed half or full 5 gallon fuel cans and drug them around, pulled very heavy tractor parts out of cabinets and deep shelves. These are not very precise grabbers as the grip surface is slightly curved with kind of a bubble jaw surface. The curve works very well though for getting a solid grip with little effort. This is also very heavy for a grabber, it is built like a tank. I wouldn’t use this primarily for general waste cleanup, but for heavy lifting it outclasses all the rest. This is more of a specific heavy lifting scenario type grabber, and for that function it is perfect. ... show more

It's a bit hard to grip with
After breaking several of the cheap "foldable" pick-up tools while picking up sticks and trash in my yard, I decided to see if I could find a heavy duty grabber without a cheap plastic joint in the center of it. This one is DEFINITELY heavy duty compared to the others. It also weighs a bunch more. I expected that. What I did not expect is how much force is needed to close the jaws on small sticks and actually hang on to them! As advertized, there is a rod going down the shaft, not a flimsy cable that breaks. The shaft from the handle down to the jaws is very strong and does not flex at all, even when I picked up a heavy bottle of water that was thrown in my yard. The plastic joint in the center of my previous gripper snapped trying to pick up a similar bottle. (Yeah, I have nasty neighbors that like to empty the trash out of their cars as they stop at the traffic light by my home.🙄) I digress... Anyway, there really is no "leverage" to help pull the rod that closes the jaws. You are basically just squeezing the handle to slide the rod back. The configuration of the "trigger" offers no mechanical advantage whatsoever. So you have to squeeze REALLY HARD in order to hold onto anything to pick it up. It's kind of ok for a few repetitions, but I usually have lots of trash and a bunch of sticks to pick up every time a bit of wind blows through the neighborhood. I have 10 75-foot trees surrounding my property! My hand and forearm was killing me before I could get a quarter of the way through picking up just in my front yard. So if you are buying this unit for heavy, repeated work like I have, I hope you have a really good grip! Being the "McGuiver wanna be" that I am, I am certain I can come up with a modification to help my situation. But if you dont want to do that, this product may not be your best choice. If strength and durability are your only concern, this will definitely give you that. ... show more

Buy!!!
The best pick up tool ever! The steel keeps it from breaking. I've bought so many in my life but they usually lasted a month or two. This is reenforced with metal. I've had it a couple years now and still going strong

Love - Hate relationship
I mounted hooks on my large lawn tractor to hold this grabber. As I cut the grass I constantly find branches that were blown out of trees after a heavy storm. This grabber is long enough that I can reach the branches on the ground and lift them up. However, the grabber is so long that I cannot place the branch into my other hand. So, when deciding which grabber to purchase, be sure to measure the distance between your thumbs with your arms outstretched. If I tow a yard trailer behind the tractor, then there is no problem moving the branch to the trailer. These grabbers are sturdy. I can lift substantial size branches which would break the inexpensive plastic grabbers I first started using. These have a larger-diameter tube running from handle to tongs than other grabbers. While this adds great strength, it also means that the standard command strip hooks are not large enough to hold this. I got strips with a wire hook that could be bent....and rebent the wire to hold the grabber tube. This works well as it holds the grabber securely so it doesn't fall out as the tractor bounces over bumps but the grabber can be removed by pulling. So think about mounting if you order this. My reason for low ease of use is partially due to length but mostly due to construction of the grabbing trigger. This was mentioned multiple times in other reviews and I understand what they are talking about. Simply put, it is very difficult to exert enough force with your hand squeezing the trigger to have the tongs hold an item tightly. The best I can do with some branches is to extend the grabber so it surrounds the branch loosely, squeeze tongs closed as best I can, then lift the branch by tilting the grabber. A redesign of the trigger mechanism is needed on this grabber to allow more force from the hand squeeze to reach the tongs. Bottom line: Very sturdy and well built grabber with tongs that are hard to forcefully squeeze shut and a bit too long to pass items from the tongs into your other hand. ... show more

Bad design and NOT heavy duty.
This grabber has a couple of keys flaws that only make it suitable for light duty use. The first thing is the thrust ratio between the handle and the jaws. It doesn’t take much movement of the handle to make the jaws close all the way. This looks good on paper, but the result is that the grip force between the pads is poor. You could put a toddler’s finger between the jaws and squeeze the handle with all your might and the kid would giggle at the funny game you were playing. I bought this grabber to use while on my lawnmower so I wouldn’t have to get off my mower to pick up deadfall and the occasional tool left behind. It took me three attempts to pick up a shovel due to the pads slipping off of the shovel. I wasn’t trying to pick up the entire weight of the shovel, I just wanted to pick up the handle high enough for me to grab it. The jaws just kept slipping off of the smooth surface of the shovel. Which brings up the other “flaw”. The pads are a hard rubber which makes them durable, but reduces their ability to grip. Maybe Unger should give you slip-on sleeves made of silicone rubber? I guess the tool is OK if you can get the jaws to wrap all around the item you need to pick up, but my opinion is that they’re only good for picking up soda cans and cigarette butts. I think a tool (especially one touted as “rugged”or “professional”) should work the first time every time (In this case, without having to think about how best to grab the item in your way so it only takes one attempt). ... show more

Heavy Duty
I recently purchased the Unger Professional 42.5” Rugged Reacher Grabber Tool with Rotating Head, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance. The build quality is excellent—sturdy, well-balanced, and clearly designed for durability and everyday use. The aluminum construction feels strong without being heavy, making it easy to use for extended periods. The rotating head is a standout feature. It adjusts smoothly and locks into place, allowing me to reach items from multiple angles with precision. The rubberized jaws provide a firm, reliable grip on everything from small objects to heavier items, without slipping or causing damage. At 42.5 inches, the reach is perfect for accessing high shelves, behind appliances, or picking things up without bending. Overall, the functionality, comfort, and rugged construction exceeded my expectations—especially at this price point. I highly recommend this grabber tool to anyone looking for a dependable, well-made reacher that delivers excellent control and convenience. ... show more
