These Quad-Friendly Reacher-Grabbers differ from conventional reacher-grabbers that require finger function and/or ability to firmly squeeze. The Quadtool, Active-Hands, and JAECO work by raising/lowering one's wrist to open/close the gripping jaw; the KFK utilizes two hands-one to hold the device, the other to depress/release its plunger at the top to open/close the jaw. But like conventional models, all four can reportedly reach and grab most any object, whether on the floor or on a high shelf. (Available in varying lifting capacities and lengths, all are either custom-fit or adjustable.)

Estimated Cost Cost range: Wrist-activated-$230-$350; plunger-activated--$42-$55

Limitations Limitations Addressed by Product: Lower extremity, Upper extremity, Back
