don't know if this will work for you or not?  that's why we call it our BETA TESTER!  16" reacher with high grip, low mar coating, light spring release for easy manipulation.

what is a dwarf beta tester?

in the spring of '96 when we had cause to buy a new washing machine, we found the tub was as deep as the Grand Canyon. wanting to retrieve the clothes from the VERY bottom that had been washed seven times over, cause we couldn't reach them, note: the inventor is a achondroplasia dwarf, we started to think how we might get them out. we had heard stories of others using salad scissors, but our "lettuce leaves" seemed to be farther away than that from our reach. so searching every possible source we ran across for the next 2 weeks, we fell upon a 16" pair of spring loaded industrial strength stainless steel tongs that had potential. we coated the ends with latex to prevent our snagging her delicate unmentionables yet still able to grip the weight of her wet body hugging jeans since she never likes doing laundry but she can reach to the bottom of the washer without them!

wella, we had our first DWARF BETA TESTERT!

we figured if it worked for us, others might find it useful / beneficial. so, using the internet, and taking our lead from the computer software industry, we named them DWARF BETA TESTERS and offered them at no charge to the first 6-7 takers to test. after our "dwarf beta testers" had had them for a while, we asked for their comments. the reviews were great and about 9 months later, a fair gestation period for an item of this caliber, we asked for follow-up comments. as many have seen, they still rant about the DWARF BETA TESTER! they sold well at the indianapolis conference, sold out at the atlanta and los angeles conferences and now we're moving on and exploring other disabled/handicapped populations that are "reach challenged!"

many of the folks have told of other uses they have found for the DWARF BETA TESTERT. from fetching ketchup off the top shelf of the grocery store (cause the little old lady that could help you won't be down to your end of the aisle until next month and by then her osteoporosis will make her shorter than you), grabbing that 1961 bottle of Moss Point Port Wine for a romantic evening by the fire, picking up stuff off the floor as a "chair bound" user or just being able to extend your reach another 12-16"!
