Query: Poorly designed, too slippery to grab items.

I had a reacher given to me at the hospital and needed a second one. I got this one since it was longer than my 26" one and I didn't know the brand of my hospital's one.Although looking the same, this one is poorly designed: the string to move the hook is too long, the plastic hook is too slippery and doesn't apply any strength to grab items.I added some foam on both tips to get more friction and could grab light weight items.If you need a reacher, stay away from this and go for a Sammons Preston Reacher which has a rubber cover on the hook and foam on the opposite tip
