The Kekoy Grabber Reacher Tool features a foldable design for compact storage. To set up the tool for use:
- Unfold the Tool: Release the Velcro strap securing the folded sections of the grabber. Gently extend the tool until it is fully straightened.
- Lock the Joints: Locate the two locking clips along the shaft. Push each clip down firmly until it clicks into place, securing the shaft in its extended position. Ensure both clips are fully engaged for stability.
- Adjust Jaw Orientation (Optional): The jaw head can rotate 360 degrees. To adjust, pull the jaw head slightly away from the shaft, rotate it to the desired angle (e.g., horizontal or vertical), and then push it back to lock it in place.

3. Operating Instructions

- Magnetic Claws: Equipped with magnets for effortlessly picking up small metallic objects.
- Durable Construction: Features a lightweight rust-proof aluminum shaft and sturdy steel cable internals for enhanced durability and security when gripping items.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your grabber tool:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the shaft and jaw with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the rubber or aluminum.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the tool and secure it with the Velcro strap. Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically check the locking clips and the steel cable for any signs of wear or damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Weak Grip: Ensure the item is fully within the jaw's grasp. The anti-slip rubber works best when making full contact. For very smooth or heavy items, try adjusting the jaw angle.
- Difficulty Extending/Folding: Check that the locking clips are fully disengaged when folding, and fully engaged when extending. Do not force the mechanism.
- Jaw Not Closing Properly: Inspect the steel cable internals for any obstructions or damage. If the cable appears frayed or broken, discontinue use and contact customer support.
