Can get almost anywhere, and strong enough to pick up just about anything. Best tool of it's kind I've found.

I've had the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rosle-Right-Handed-Swivel-Peeler/dp/B000063Y85/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rosle Right-Handed Swivel Peeler</a>for several years and liked the feel of it better than several others in the drawer.
 I wish I had found this Cross peeler sooner. It's great for peeling large fruits like Butternut Squash and Eggplant. I also use it to peel slivers of hard cheese. It's especially handy on the Bleu Cheese I keep in the freezer (else it would turn to furry cheese before I could use it up). When I need a little to sprinkle on a salad or over broccoli, I pull it out and use this tool to scrape off just what I need.
A tool well done.

Powerful, picks up everything with ease. I originally bought this as a gift but I will be purchasing one for my home as well.

Greatest snow removal tool on the market.  You will never use a small brush type ever again.  I own a large pick-up truck,  and there is nothing easier.  Doesn't scratch the paint, and the retractable handle is perfect.  Easy to store in back seat.  Everyone should own one !!

My husband calls this the tool he never knew he needed and the one he never wants to be without again.  This simple hand (or foot) pump will raise things up 2.5 inches (and down to 3/32nds) so you can level things like cabinets or doors perfectly.  You simply place it on the floor or on shims that raise it to within the range you need and then pump until your item is level.

He first used it on our refrigerator door - one has been a fraction of an inch lower than the other for the two years we've had it.  It took only moments to square and while I did keep the heavy door balanced for him, I didn't have to try to hold it in the exact right spot - if you've ever been the helper, you know how hard that can be.

Then he put a 2X4 on the ground in front of the broken cabinet door of our kitchen sink. He had it lined up and fixed in a jiffy, with no help from me. Finally, we used it in one of our old-fashioned double-hung windows to hold it at the right height to fix a broken wire.

The air shim is very easy to use to get items to the exact height you need them - you can let minute bits of air out or use partial squeeze to add equally minute amounts. It's rated for 300 pounds and you only need one hand (or foot) to control it.

This item is endlessly useful and makes a terrific gift for the handyman who has everything - or one who is just starting out. As the official helper, I can assure you it will save you a lot of grief!

I am blind in a power chair, this helps me to reach items I have dropped, freeing up having to ask anyone for help. The long reach, great suction cups and easy handle make this the perfect tool.

Good item for picking up items that have fallen while working on vehicles. So far it has picked up a small pipe wrench and a large adjustable wrench. It saves alot of time than having to pull out the creeper and go underneath the vehicle. Good tool for DIYer and professionals.

Best Vehicle snow removal tool! I purchased this for my husband to use on his Jeep Grand Cherokee. It cut down so much cleaning time in the morning before work or after. Living in the Greater Boston area, our weather can most times be unpredictable, this has been a lifesaver!
He even got his co-workers using it on a storm and they were instantly sold on the reach ability for larger vehicles and the time saving aspect. I personally wouldn't bother with the other model that includes the light feature. I truly don't think it would be worth the extra price or time. Who would remember to replace they're batteries in they're snow scraper.

Somehow ended up with this magnet years ago in my home toolbox...I think it was my Dad's. Anyway I was about to buy another Harbor Freight pickup tool when I realized just how handy this one had always been. The articulating head lets you fish around in areas you can't see. Length is good - fits easily along the edge of a toolbox drawer and, well, you don't know you'll need the length until you need the length...

Just tonight I was replacing a headlight and dropped a battery hold down nut, which quickly disappeared under the battery tray. Was able to simply sweep this around underneath and retrieve it with ease.

Not sure if its obvious or not, but the extension/telescope is only two pieces (shaft and sleeve). On my original at least, they are hexagonal, which seems to add a bit of rigidity. Never worried about it bending in half when mindlessly compressing like a lot of the cheaper multi-stage telescoping pickups. Laatly, in the years that I've owned and use this, I can't ever remember having to loosen or tighten the flex head joint. Always stays just stiff enough to stay in place, lose enough to maneuver.

Let's face it--picking up after the dog is not fun.  It's even less fun with a cheap plastic rake, or using the old hand-in-the-plastic-bag trick.  I have been looking everywhere for a wire rake pooper scooper.  I had purchased something similar years ago, and it is just now starting to show its age, so time to be replaced.  This one is even better than the one I had:  it appears to be sturdier, with heavier gauge tines, and the metal is coated so it won't rust.  I also like the plastic cover on the metal handle.  I find it works best if you hold it so that the tines are pointing towards you.  No mess, and you don't have to get anywhere near the smelly dog bombs!

Over the last year, I can sincerely say that I've found an excuse to use mine every 2 days.

Unlike my full-sized Explorer, I can get away with carrying my pinky-sized Manager more often, more comfortably, and more subtlety. I highly recommend keeping it on a quick-release mechanism (I personally favor keeping it on a tiny carabiner).
Thus, instead of a back-up, its served as my go-to tool 5-times more often then my full-sized swiss knife, which i'm forced to carry less often. Granted, I've had to take it off my key-chain on 8 occasions for certain job interviews, overzealous bouncers at bars, and of course air-travel.

Pen - Although the refills aren't cheap, the built-in pen is the only one I've kept for over a year. I'm less likely to forget it or accidentally slip it out of my pocket. True, some people may give a curious look when you use it. But I've been in 3 dozen situations where it was the only pen nearby.

Blade - always handy for tape, packaging and occasionally even poking holes into aluminum foil for a neighbor's tobacco hookah.

Phillips-head/ Bottle-Opener - This Bizarre-looking tool is my favorite. Please bear in mind that this small opener takes a little more finess/practice then a full-sized one. The trick is SLOWLY Increase the pressure.
The screwdriver is perfect for small electronics and even sunglasses. It's even magnetized!

Flathead Screwdriver/ File - the flathead has proven as equally useful as the phillips. I don't use the nail file often, as I worry about the bourgeois image I'd give off. An often overlooked asset, is that for smaller/delicate objects its the perfect crowbar if your creative.

Scissors - Very Fine Cut. So I've used these to trim my mustache. As well as remove stray threads off clothing and carpet as they appear.

First off you need to decide what you need one for. Picking up trash, limbs and debris outside? Then don't buy this get a heavy duty one that costs $40 to $50. I am old and have a bad back so I use mine to pick up clothes, dog toys and dog food, and especially the left over pieces of sharp milk bones that hurt like hell to step on in the house. I also pick up threads and stuff I don't want to get into the vacuum cleaner.  This $14 one is not made for heavy lifting, or for putting glassware or heavy plates in the cabinet. You will need to spend at least $30 or more for one for that. This one is for light objects, no more than a pound and if you don't try and lift heavy stuff it works great and lasts forever. I have been through a dozen of these over the years. I prefer the suction cups to the rubber coated finger kind. Pick stuff up much better. But for certain thing might be better, like getting a glass from an overhead cabinet. I have a heavy duty one from Lowes for picking up stuff outside, trash that anuses like to throw from their cars into my yard, and the cigarette butts my mail lady thtows by my mailbox EVERY day and pi cones and sticks ect. I bought this lightweight one 8 months ago for use in the house. The only issue I have had so far is one of the nuts that holds the suction cups came off and got lost. I emailed the company and they were ready and willing to send me a replacement one if I wanted. But I told them all I needed was a new suction cup nut so they sent me a new pair of suction cups and nuts so now I have extra if another falls off. These are good grabbers. If you are like me and read the negative feedbacks first to hear the truth, not all the fake five star ones at the top, then pay no attention to all the people griping and crying because they didn't know the differences between them and just bought the cheapest, or bought one for light use when the needed a heavy duty one. Not the grabbers fault you cheaped out and didn't buy what you needed. For picking up shoes, socks, underwear, light clothing, dog toys, spilled dog food and partially eaten treats, and small trash you don't want to go up the vacuum then this is the one you need. Lastly, never buy the folding ones. Its just another place to be a weak spot and to break too soon. Need one for a specific task, ask me in the comments to my review and I will be glad to share my experience with you. I do not represent any company or seller and my opinions are all my own, from my own experiences using different types of these grabbers. Michael
