ArcMateEZ Reacher Power Cuff, EZ Reacher Accessory, Provides 300 Percent More Lift Power, Up to 25lb. Capacity, Brown (7818)

Wow, what a difference ! Simple install and works as advertised.

ArcMate EZ Reacher Power Cuff, EZ Reacher Accessory, Provides 300 Percent More Lift Power, Up to 25lb. Capacity, Brown (7818). Visit the ArcMate Store.To begin, this Power Cuff will only fit ArcMate Reacher/Grabbers with rectangular ½” x 6/8” aluminum shafts. It will not fit models like the ArcMate E-Z Reacher Pro Plus, that have a square 5/8” x 5/8” aluminum shaft. You have to remove the cups to install the Power Cuff. If you add it to a folding model, be sure to do the work on a table, so that the folding sections do not come apart and pull out the inner metal bands. If like me, you make the mistake of doing the work on your lap, you will end up frustrated and swearing, as when the two shaft sections fall apart, the inner bands may get turned, and not feed all the way through the lower section of the shaft, because they are not parallel with the outer metal bands. You will need to pull out the plastic cap on the lower section, and turn the cable 90 degrees so that the two inner bands will feed through all the way. Of course, if you are adding the Power Cuff to a Reacher/Grabber with a single piece shaft, this problem will thankfully not happen. The wide outer bands of the Reacher/Grabber feed through slots in the sides of the Power Cuff, and the two smaller bands fit through the middle of the power cuff. The instruction sheet has photographs to help you assemble the Power Cuff onto the Reacher/Grabber. How well does it work? I have not tried using it to lift anything weighing 25 pounds, but you would certainly need to use two hands on the Reacher/Grabber to manage anything that heavy. So far, the ArcMate EZ Reacher Power Cuff seems to be working, and I gave it five Amazon Stars.

In cold weather the plastic becomes very brittle. It just shattered when I grabbed onto an object.

It doesn't stay in place. Just made my reacher unusable. Missed the whole point. However, I absolutely love and could not live without my ArcMate Reachers. I have several different sizes and styles. I recommend them every chance I can! I use at least one of them at every store I shop at. I have one in pretty much every room of my house. Different styles for best matching my needs, i.e. claw style for in shower is able to pickup dropped soap, suction cups reacher can't. Suction cup reacher workes best in kitchen

Actually works as stated. It does enable an average grabber to easily grab and lift much more weighted items but then again it does seem to reduce the width of the tongs, So a little trade off but, no problems for me.

good for the price, picks up light weight items.

This device really increases the overall gripping capacity of the Reacher. It makes my handling of objects in my cabinets much easier to grab. Very secure unit.Well worth it!

I am a senior lady and I own different grabbers for different reasons. I have a different grabber that I use for laundry to get clothes out of the dryer, a grabber to pick things up off the floor, and this grabber I purchased for the outdoors such as picking up sticks and branches and rocks. I did order the part that supposed to make it pick up more weight and at first I couldn't figure out how to get it on but after looking at the picture I did figure that part out. However it does not pick up the weight that it says that it does. I don't feel that the extra purchase really was needed. I tried to pick up a small rock and it would not pick it up. I kept dropping it as it was too heavy. All in all I've used it quite a bit and it serves its purpose.
