Reaching tools are devices designed to help individuals grasp or manipulate objects that are out of their immediate reach. These tools often feature a long handle with a gripping mechanism at the end, allowing users to pick up items without bending or stretching. They are particularly useful for people with limited mobility or those recovering from injuries. Common types of reaching tools include grabbers, reaching aids, and picker uppers. These tools can be used to retrieve items from high shelves, pick up litter, or assist in daily tasks like dressing. They enhance independence and safety for users in various settings.
