Product Description
The EZee Life™ 32″ Folding Reacher is a lightweight aluminum grabber tool designed for seniors, wheelchair users, and anyone with limited reach, mobility restrictions, or post-surgery recovery needs. With a rotating head, magnetic tip, and molded 4″ jaw with ergonomic trigger, this 32-inch folding reacher lets you safely pick up items from the floor, high shelves, and awkward spaces — no bending, stretching, or risk of falling required. Available in Canada through Factory Direct Medical.
Everyday tasks like picking up dropped objects, retrieving clothing from the floor, opening cabinet doors, or moving lightweight items out of reach become effortless with the EZee Life™ Folding Reacher. The aluminum tube frame keeps total weight minimal so even users with reduced hand strength can operate it comfortably throughout the day. When not in use, the reacher folds in half for compact storage in a drawer, bag, or wheelchair pouch — making it just as useful for travel and on-the-go as it is at home.
EZee Life™ is a trusted Canadian mobility aid brand carried by Factory Direct Medical — the same brand behind the EZee Life range of raised toilet seats, shower commode chairs, and daily living aids used in homes, hospitals, and long-term care facilities across Canada. The CH3052-R Folding Reacher is a staple occupational therapy recommendation for independent living and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Key Features
Rotating Head The fully rotating jaw head adjusts to any angle, allowing you to grip objects in tight spaces, at awkward angles, or above and below without changing your wrist position — reducing strain during repetitive use.
Magnetic Tip The built-in magnet at the jaw tip instantly attracts and retrieves small metal objects — coins, keys, pins, and dropped screws — without needing to clamp the jaw, making precision pick-ups quick and frustration-free.
Foldable Aluminum Frame The lightweight aluminum tube body folds in half for easy storage and transport. Despite its slim, portable profile, the frame is rigid and responsive during use — providing stable reach at the full 32″ extension.
4″ Molded Jaw with Ergonomic Trigger The wide 4″ jaw opening accommodates bottles, clothing, shoes, and household items with a single squeeze. The molded trigger mechanism is shaped for comfort and requires minimal grip strength to operate.
32″ Reach Extension At 32 inches, this reacher gives users enough extension to reach the floor from a seated or standing position without bending, access items on standard-height shelves, and retrieve objects from under furniture.
Lightweight & Travel-Ready The compact folded size fits into a tote bag, luggage side pocket, or wheelchair bag — making it easy to carry this essential daily living aid wherever it’s needed, from home to hospital to hotel.
Foldable Design, Rotating Head & Magnetic Tip
The EZee Life™ Folding Reacher is engineered around the practical needs of occupational therapists and their clients. The rotating head solves one of the most common frustrations with fixed-jaw reachers: the inability to angle the grip for objects positioned flat on the floor or tucked under furniture. By rotating freely, the jaw can approach items from the optimal angle — critical for picking up flat items like papers, cards, or clothing. The trigger mechanism uses a lever-style design that requires far less hand force than pinch-grip reachers, making it suitable for users with arthritis, reduced grip strength, or post-stroke hand weakness.
The magnetic tip adds a secondary pick-up mode for small metal objects that the rubber jaw might struggle to grip — a common scenario when dropping keys or coins on hard floors. This dual-mode functionality (jaw grip + magnetic retrieval) makes the EZee Life™ reacher more versatile than single-function models. The folding mechanism at the mid-shaft is smooth, secure, and lockable when extended — providing full stability at 32″ without any flex or wobble in the joint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mobility aid for picking things up?
A reacher or grabber tool is an assistive device that extends your arm’s effective reach, allowing you to pick up items from the floor, overhead, or out of reach without bending, stretching, or risking a fall. Reachers like the EZee Life™ CH3052-R are prescribed by occupational therapists as daily living aids for seniors, wheelchair users, and anyone with limited mobility, post-surgery restrictions, or conditions such as arthritis that make bending unsafe.
How do you use a reacher grabber tool?
To use the EZee Life™ Folding Reacher, extend the tool to its full 32″ length and point the jaw at the object you want to retrieve. Squeeze the ergonomic trigger to open and close the jaw around the object, then lift. For metal objects, hover the magnetic tip close to the item — it will be attracted without needing to squeeze the trigger. Rotate the head as needed to approach items at awkward angles.
What is the jaw opening size of the EZee Life™ 32″ Folding Reacher?
The EZee Life™ CH3052-R has a 4″ jaw opening, which is wide enough to grip most common household items including water bottles, clothing, shoes, books, and soft packaging. The rubber-coated jaw pads provide secure grip on both smooth and textured surfaces without scratching or damaging items.
Can the EZee Life™ reacher be used after hip or knee surgery?
Yes — the EZee Life™ 32″ Folding Reacher is widely recommended by occupational therapists as a post-surgery daily living aid, particularly following hip replacement surgery where bending below 90 degrees is restricted. It allows patients to put on socks, retrieve items from the floor, and manage daily tasks independently while adhering to movement restrictions during recovery. Always confirm specific use guidelines with your surgical team or OT.
