FTH Grabber 40"

My boyfriend loves grabbers and has me sold in them too. When I’m tired it’s so much easier to pick up the debris that’s blown into the yard after a storm or pick up the clothes off the bathroom floor (let’s be real. After taking the hamper out of the bathroom to do laundry it takes at least a week for it to get back in there right? No? Just me?). Now the problem is my boyfriend should really be a durability tester for… well everything. He seems to be just going about life normally but somehow his shoes, clothes, phones (don’t get me started on the phones) and yes grabbers don’t last more than a couple months. Honestly with the grabbers we’re lucky if they last a month. Now those grabbers aren’t cheap to replace every month or two and it’s been draining the bank. Then I saw this beautiful, durable, work of art. I told him if this one didn’t last, we were going to have to develop one ourselves because we couldn’t afford to keep replacing them. This is the real deal. It worked so well for him that I bought a second one for myself. It’s super lightweight so I end up carrying it around because I forget I’m holding it. You would think with something as light as this is that it would bend or break with pressure, but I was able to lift and move a gallon of milk from where it fell (long story) up and over a fence, across the yard, up the stairs, and into the house. This thing didn’t bat an eye at the weight and the grip it so easy to maintain, my hand didn’t even cramp up doing it. My hand usually cramps up carrying the gallon from the car to the stairs so the fact that it was easier to use this grabber than carry it by hand amazed me. The only thing I would change about this miracle of a device is to add rubber to the teeth because trying to pick up anything metal that’s round with it is like trying to catch a greased pig. It’ll slip and slide on it. I used some electrical tape on the tips on mine and it solved that issue. This device is worth not just its weight but also my weight in gold. We have gone through dozens of grabbers that all failed the boyfriend durability test. This is the only one that passed. I’m going to have to order a couple more so my kids stop stealing mine. Parents if you have teenagers who act like picking up their room is cruel and unusual punishment, this is a game-changer. My teens who would have to be coerced into picking up their room by changing the wifi password, now steal my grabber to pick up their room without having to be asked. There are also different lengths to choose from which is amazeballs because I’m short and the longer grabbers are unwieldy and awkward for me (my boyfriend prefers the longer ones which makes sense since he’s taller). This is very likely the best thing I’ve purchased in years. Buy it. You can thank me later.

This is a very well built grabber tool that has a nice weight. I am disabled and use it to grab the pull chain on the ceiling fan / light above my bed. It works absolutely fantastic, and I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone needing a heavy-duty grabber with exceptional grip.

This is a great grabber except for on thing, the handle. Can you pick up logs for a fire, not large ones, but smaller ones yes. Can you pick up twigs, frogs, snakes, or anything else, pretty much. If you try to overdo it though, the plastic handle flexes at the pivot point and I can see that being a point of failure in the future if this is used regularly for heavier lifting. Now with all that said, it is great for general work around the property. I use it primarily for removing twigs, and leaf bouquets that get stuck in the fence when I working with the leaf blower, and for clearing debris on walks with the dogs on our woodland trails. It has a clam shell type of jaw mechanism with teeth. All metal and the two halves mesh together well. Enough to snatch even the smallest of snakes (without harm) from the rock gardens in our yard. I'm an average height guy with average length arms so I like that I don't have to bend over for any of this like I was with traditional pincher type grabbers. This is way more efficient too because when you're picking up a lot of items on trails while walking dogs it allows you time to see it, and grab it without stopping to do it. I hope the handle never breaks but if it does, I will attempt to repair it. It's a great value if you need to constantly pick up things while wearing a heavy backpack leaf blower without falling over.

First, I recently got the Classic Pit Barrel Cooker (cPBC), and I was looking for tongs or a grabber to put charcoal in the cPBC, when I needed to add more charcoal as the food was cooking. This FTH Stainless Steelgrabber (FTHSSG), advertised as the 40 inch version, allowed me to put the charcoal directly in the charcoal bin of the cPBC easily, without me having to manually remove the hanging food, the rebars of the cPBC, and the charcoal bin. The FTHSSG allowed me to easily place the charcoal directly onto the cPBC charcoal bin and load the charcoal. Before I got the FTHSSG when I needed to load the cPBC charcoal bin with more charcoal, in order to bypass the hassle removing the hanging food, rebars, cooking grate to get at the charcoal bin, I'd be like a basketball player and try to toss the charcoal so that it would miss the hanging food, and drop into the charcoal bin, which can be a pain if your aim is not good and the charcoal misses the bin. Today (7/30/2023), I cooked ribs in the cPBC, and I needed to add more charcoal to the cPBC (I've been trying to use as little charcoal as possible, in order to save money). I took out the FTH Stainless Steel Grabber, and the FTHSSG was skinny, light, maneuverable enough to allow me to deftly drop charcoal between the hanging ribs and into the charcoal bin, without any problems at all. I was not only able to drop the charcoal accurately into the cPBC charcoal bin, but I was able to re-arrange the charcoal so that the hot, white charcoal was facing up and under the ribs. I'm happy with the FTHSSG. It's sturdy enough for the task that I've given it. Second, my FTHSSG is not exactly 40. inches long. I measured it, and it's 39 inches. I read some reviews complaining that the FTHSSG was under the advertised length. However, you have to take into consideration the concept of "significant digits," which is usually taught in high school chemistry. If you've forgotten what significant digits means, then you can google "significant digits" or you can look for youtube videos on significant digits for an in-depth explanation of what "significant digits" is all about. But if you were to take significant digits into consideration and since the length was advertised as "40" and not "40." or "40.0," then the 40 inches means it was rounded off to the nearest tens. Thirty-nine (39) was rounded off to forty (40). Therefore, the FTHSSG was advertised correctly. Just saying.

Bought the 48" model 2 years ago. I am a work camper. This product is a blessing. A little pricey but we'll worth it. I pick up everything from a piece of micro trash and trash bags to small logs from firepits. The extended reach helps a lot .

I wish I could give a better review. When I saw heavy duty commercial blah blah blah stainless steel I thought good this is going to be a really strong one and it is it's strong as far as the Grabber part goes maybe the extension on it is pretty strong but the handle is cheap junk plastic. That's what I was trying to get away from so it does what it says it grabs things you know I certainly wouldn't want to grab someone's butt with it cuz the stainless steel claws are pretty sharp you might scratch their butt but anyway I would say it's just okay the handle appears to be extremely weak to me and most likely will break at some point I may have to do something before it breaks but you know maybe try to beef it up somehow and be careful what you're actually using it for but the metal gripper part is great they won't break the extension tube like I said seems to be a good solid until you put the thing in your hand and then it's like oh yeah it's cheap anyway that's it I'm tired is like my 23 view I voice record so if anything comes out weird just keep in mind you know I don't use punctuations I do know how to use them but voice recording it sounds weird you know when you're like talking to it and saying use, blah blah blah whatever anyway whatever I say that I'll probably like reverse that nope I won't cuz that's what I do but anyway have a good day

Extremely sturdy. Excellent grip by the teeth of the unit. Exceeds expectations. Much better than the flimsy plastic unit that is being replaced. Would buy again.

Great product. I had 50-75 oak clusters that blew out of my trees during a storm. With my overused back, I would not be able to stand up if I had to bend over to pick them all up. This tool worked flawlessly. The teeth on the end picked up leaves, twigs, and small braces effortlessly. There is a little cosmetic crack at the base of the handle, but it does not affect how the tool functions.

excelente fincionalidad

This is a good quality grabber. I am six foot five, have worked hard labor all my life, am getting older, and drop things more than I like nowadays. With the ground so far below my arms reach this grabber is a knee and back saver keeping me from having to make the trip down to get things by hand, then wonder if I'm gonna be able to make it back upright again. I like this grabber because it has the full metal claw and the long length. The claw teeth are a good shape and strong. Even with the extra length of the shaft this grabber has enough strength that I have used it for grabbing several items that far exceeded the grabbers intended use and it did not warp, bend, or break. The claw's teeth were not affected. The claw grip strength is decent, though lighter than other claws that have 90° fingers. It will let things slip when being aggressive with it, but with the right squeeze and some technique I have managed to do a lot of heavy work with various successes. I chose this grabber specifically because of the metal claw so I could sterilize it with all types of chemicals and steam treatments. I have used open flames on it several times. The first time I expected it might not survive as I do not know what the inner linkage between the handle and claw is made of, but it didn't melt or lose strength in the flames. I have used this grabber to pry and scrape frozen dog doo out of the ice in the yard, grab burning embers and logs in the campfire, pull large objects like bags, tools, and water jugs from the far end of the back of my truck, feed ratchet straps under or through a load on my trailer, used it to assist my balance by grabbing shrubs and tree branches while climbing up steeper sections of hiking trails, picked up large rocks, rescue a dropped cell phone out of the lake, and in many other rough use ways. It still looks essentially brand new. Of course the technique of how I have used it is a large part of why I have not destroyed this grabber yet. Nonetheless, I must give ample credit to the quality of the grabber itself for its part through it all. I have used numerous grabbers of all brands, designs, and materials. This grabber is certainly in the upper class, if not in first place for overall quality, utility, and durability. I am very pleased with it and feel I have gotten more value out of it by far than the cost put into getting it.

Very good for acerage maintenance. Use it on ride on mower to clean up paddock sticks.

Very good quality and durable product
