Artyea Plastic Retro Robot Arm Robotic Pick Up Pinch Tool Kids Toy

My kids love this thing and haven't broken it yet! Sturdy, fun. Perfect size for the kids. Easy to use and a fun color for them. And it works to pick stuff up!

Grands love it. Like to grab Grandpa.

Tell me why this grabber toy is mostly used to grab mom and take her to “jail”?! For whatever reason, for something so simple, my kids have a ton of fun with this thing. It’s pretty durable and the string that controls the grabber is thick. It’s also very handy to get things that have fallen behind the couch. It’s not very long, so I would say its functional use is more for play than anything but don’t discount how much fun a kid can get out of something as simple as this.

Theis item is not 51 inches long like the picture states. My 4 yr old son plays with it often. Item is as expected. 20 inches long. Would not recommend for anyone younger than 4 yrs old unless that child has a good grip strength.

Best of the pinch-pick up tools, strong yet lightweigt, better than aluminum version. Easy to use.

Product works fine and it's a fun toy, but under no circumstances is this 51 inches like the picture says. You can get 3 of these for $25, but I chose to get this one because it's supposed to be longer. It measures 20.5 inches. So either the seller is a liar and a scam, or they are so incompetent as to think its twice as long as it actually is.

Nice

I’ve written reviews for these in the past. I’ll keep writing them, I guess, because until I can find something better, I need these. I am facing bilateral knee, hip and shoulder replacements as well as rods & screws in my lower spine (L4/L5). As such, I am very mobility challenged. These grabber “toys” help me dress, allow me to do laundry, help me retrieve items I need once in bed at night (a lift recliner) and, basically, wherever I am sitting. I have tried the metal ones (for grownups), but those are unwieldy (too long, they don’t grasp with as much precision, they don’t fit well in my walker basket). When I first began purchasing these about 13-14 years ago, these were offered in a small, a medium, and a longer size; the ones I am reviewing are the long size. The medium size—the ones that work best for me because they fit my walker basket perfectly—are no longer produced (I haven’t found them in at least 7-9 years). I keep two of these at all times: one in the laundry room and one near me because they are cheap toys, essentially. And, each new one I purchase is more expensive than the one before it and the quality is worse, i.e., they break easier. I realize they are toys. For me, they are a necessary evil. If they lasted even just a little longer, I’d rate them higher.

Works well, but I think a bit pricey
