I have had past experience with the Ettore Grip'n Grab. I originally bought two and they are still working fine after about a year of constant use. I have severe arthritis, limited shoulder use, am short and cannot climb on ladders. I purchased two more so I could have one for the main floor, one for upstairs, one in the basement and one for the garage. (I use it outside to pick up bits of trash that the wind blows onto my property). I also wanted to have extras in case the manufacturer discontinued them in the future. The gripping end is far superior to any other I have used. I have even picked up small pills off the floor with the tip of this gripper. For larger, heavier items you have to have some degree of strength in your hands to keep the prongs from opening, but I have arthritis in my wrists and I am still able to lift glass jars and storage containers from my upper shelves. The prongs also rotate in case you need to grasp an item from a different angle. Don't waste your money on any other similar item. The price is reasonable; just a few more dollars than the inferior ones and well worth it. Sellers often provide the Grip 'n Grab with free shipping which is how I received mine.Read full review

This is a small light weight tool. Good value for what it can do......picking up small light things. Heavier items will require a sturdy grabber. Great for leaving in various rooms to pick up paper or clothing instead of carrying a grabber with you to every room

My partner & I are both handicapped. We find these VERY helpful. They are also very sturdy, unlike the kind with the suction cups on the end. We have found that the suction cup type come apart very easily & the screws get lost, making them useless. On the other hand, the Ettores hold up for years. They also have very fine control and will pick up very tiny items. They can also hold relatively heavy things. I don't know what we would do without them. We have one in every room & the garage.
