First issue

Two styles of reachers

many types of reachers available on the market. A feature to consider is the type of end grabber. Some close top-and-bottom and other sideto-side. The type you chose should be appropriate to your need.

Also note that some grips are better than others. See Tools: Grips for guidance.

Reacher with forearm brace

This style has a short forearm brace to provide support for the wrist when a relatively heavy item is picked up with the reacher.

Magnetic reacher

This style is magnet for use around machine tools to pull chips.
