Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your grabber reacher:
- Grasping Objects:
Hold the ergonomic handle firmly. Position the grabber jaws around the desired object. Squeeze the easy-to-squeeze trigger to close the soft-grip tips around the object. Apply sufficient pressure to secure the item without crushing it. Release the trigger to release the object.

- Rotating the Head:
The grabber head can be rotated 90 degrees to adapt to different angles and tight spaces. To rotate, gently twist the head until it clicks into the desired horizontal or vertical position. This allows for greater flexibility when picking up items.
- Precision Picking:
The precision jaw design, combined with the rubberized tips, allows for the retrieval of very small or delicate items, such as coins, paper, or keys. Approach the item carefully and apply gentle pressure with the trigger.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your grabber reacher.
- Cleaning: Wipe the grabber with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials. Ensure the mechanism is dry before storage.
- Storage: Store the grabber in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the grabber to prevent bending of the shaft or damage to the gripping mechanism.
- Inspection: Periodically check the soft-grip tips for wear and tear. If they become excessively worn, the gripping ability may be reduced.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RMS Grabber Reacher, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Difficulty Gripping Objects:
- Ensure the trigger is fully squeezed to close the jaws completely.
- Check the soft-grip tips for excessive wear or damage. Worn tips may reduce friction and gripping capability.
- Ensure the object is not too heavy or awkwardly shaped for the grabber's capacity.
- Head Not Rotating Smoothly:
- Check for any debris or obstructions in the rotation mechanism.
- Ensure the head is not being forced beyond its intended 90-degree rotation limit.
- Trigger Mechanism Feels Stiff or Loose:
- A stiff trigger might indicate internal friction; ensure no foreign objects are lodged.
- A loose trigger might suggest a worn internal cable.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, discontinue use and contact RMS customer support for further assistance.
