Quad-Friendly Reacher/Grabbers

These Quad-Friendly Reacher/Grabbers differ from conventional reacher/grabbers that require finger function and/or ability to firmly squeeze. The Quadtool and JAECO work by raising/lowering the wrist to open/close the gripping jaw; the KFK utilizes one hand to hold the device, the other to depress/release its plunger that opens/closes the jaw; The Hook-It is a bent metal rod (with plastic shielding around the gripping area) that is placed around the wrist and between the index finger and thumb with the hook at the bottom. (Available in varying lifting capacities and lengths.)

Cost: Wrist-activated-$230-$350; plunger-activated-$42-$55; Hook-It-$38-$70
