I bought the PikStik reacher to see if it was better than the one I rolled over in my wheelchair. I was really disappointed.

It was bulkier and seemed cheaply made. The claw seemed not to close all the way so things slipped through its grasp frequently.

It was almost impossible to pick up a piece of paper with the PikStik and hold it long enough to grab it with my hand.

Even the locking mechanism didn't seem to do much but lock it in its ineffective grasp. I used it for a week until the next reacher I got arrived and sold the PikStik at a rummage sale for $5.
