Find Best Price at Amazon"This was purchased for my parents, who have difficulty getting in/out of the car. We used to reach in to try and lift and pull her out, but it was difficult and risky for others not to hurt their backs. Because it is designed to fit in many cars, it is slightly wobbly (depending on your car model) when set in, but it is still strong and not dangerous."
"You simply clip it into the latch that every car and truck door has, just to your left (when driving) and right (when riding shotgun)."
"With the Car Cane, I was disappointed to open the package and find a robust aluminum head attached to a cheap, flimsy plastic handle - it reminded me of a model airplane fuselage from childhood. The two extremes of hefty metal and cheap, cheap plastic made me want to look at the inside before trusting this device to my elderly parents. The massive, square aluminum head quickly tapers down into a thin (approximately 1/4" thick) handle, which only extends into the handle the depth of 10 rubber ribs on the red grip - Shown with referencing white paper marker in photos. The rated 350lbs MAY be true for the aluminum head, but I cannot believe the plastic handle could support a load anywhere near that amount."
"This product can break."
"I have an e-350 van, an f350 truck, a Nissan Rogue, and an e150 van; the pointed end that fits in the locking loop is too small for all of them, which results in the handle tilting downwards at a serious and dangerous angle."
Featuring our extra-secure MaxLock track design, these plastic storage bags are easy to open and close with a simple sliding motion. Large write-on label to easily identify contents of the bag and keep things organized in the fridge, freezer or closet.

"I bought this three slot card holder for them and they really enjoy useing them."
"I was surprised that you can fit approx 2-3 cards overlapping in the slots and that it was rather nicely finished."
"I love to play cards with my granddaughter, but she can't hold all the cards."
"I like it, but it would be nice if the slots were a little bit thicker for playing Hand and Foot, but it works ok."
"I've tried quite a few of card holders - some about 4 times the price of this one."
"However, the slots are too narrow to hold several overlapping cards."
"I was very excited to receive these card holders because I had played canasta at my sister's house and used the same type of card holders and loved them."

Best Reaching Aids

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is so very handy and much better than the grabbers they send you home with after knee replacement surgery. The magnetic part works great, but is only on one side of the claw if that makes a difference to anyone. The only improvement I made was I added the soft part of velcro tape to the grabber and the hook part of the tape on my scooter so I could stick it to the scooter easily."
"Well made and as I've said works fine for me."
"My sixteen year old daughter used it to pick up a glass out of the cabinet, fill it with ice and water from the fridge and take it to me."
"It's also strong enough for her to use it to help balance herself slightly (although it's not made for this and may cause it to break one day)."
"We have another one that doesn't close tightly, which is guess is good for other things, but we need something to grip onto small, far away things."
"This reacher/grabber works very well!"
"I have two chihuahuas, and it is perfect fit for grabbing their stainless steel bowls to put in their holders when I feed them and picking up their beds and bedding occasionally to move from place to place."
"If reaching overhead at exactly a 45 degree angle, you can pick up a can off a tall shelf, but the can must be at the correct height and angle. The angle of the push type handle is unnatural for the wrist unless all you are doing is precisely picking up an item at a precise 45 degree angle as any other angle leaves you exhausted from the effort and renders it nearly useless. This means that the item you are picking up, be in on the floor or ground or overhead must be at the EXACT angle of the grabbers. Otherwise you are twisting your wrist in strange ways and trying to angle the grabbers in such a way that you will find it impossible to pick up more than just a lightweight item like a piece of paper at any other angle. If you want a tool that really works at all angles, get the Unger NT080 Nifty Nabber Trigger-Grip Extension Arm, 32in, Aluminum/Greenthat doesn't have the grabbers at a weird angle. With that tool, you can pick up heavy and light items at any angle at all without straining your hand and wrist thanks to the trigger handle which is far easier to manipulate and get a good purchase on heavy items."

(see picture) unfortunately this is only an extension of the basic 90 day warrantee again defects as it specifically states: "This Warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by use with another product; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse or misuse, including, but not limited to, scratches and broken lenses; or (c) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Product.""
"These are so easy to take with you as the glasses and case are barely larger than a credit card and they are flexible. Where armed glasses are impractical or inconvenient these can be the solution as long as they will stay on your nose. While these are surprising in their tenacity they will fall off if you are moving around, make sudden head movements or do anything that causes your nose to wrinkle e.g. sneezing, coughing, laughing or yawning. The most satisfying place I have used ThinOptics to replace armed glasses is when I am in bed reading or watching my tablet. They become invisible because there is no intrusion of any kind, no ear irritation from arms, no visible frame when I get them set right, no fatigue and they stay in place."
"I used different double sided stick tape than what was shipped with them and have had no issues at all with them coming loose. I love that when I forget my regular reading glasses, I still have these, as my phone is always with me. If they come out with a case that is lined with felt or some other soft material, I would probably purchase another pair."
"I was a believer in these glasses, but I already have had 2 pairs break at the bridge after a short time and with minimal use."
"However, the first shortcoming that I encountered was that if one is not careful when returning the glasses to the case the spring loaded nose pads get caught in the case (because the case is understandably very thin) and bend. Since I need glasses to read, it is difficult to determine if I am sliding the glasses into the case properly in order to avoid that eventuality."
"Pkg advertises free replacements...fine, one more phone call to make then wait who knows how many days. All those positive reviews are meaningless when you're the one who gets damaged merchandise and they don't answer their published number."
"Used occasionally for 3 months and broke in half."

However, that being said, this is the most amazing product, and I have tried six different similar pads, three from the physical therapy institute that I have been working with (all worthless), and three from other big box stores that my husband had to go to pick out, as I could not even tolerate to sit in the passenger seat. I just purchased 4 of this same company's memory foam back supports, because after buying one the same time I received the comfort seat, my husband and I are sneaking it out of each other's home office chairs because it feels so awesome."
"It's got a removable and washable velvet fabric over the generous memory foam material that feels exactly like our $5,000 Tempurpedic mattress. I've been using this for two days now - and yesterday I was on it for ten hours during a particularly grueling radio edit session and some online training, and I definitely noticed improvement over the cheap stuffing typically used in office chairs."
"This product was $20.00 less than the first one I had used and yet it DID NOT squash down completely the first time I sat on it."
"lol. Once you get it right, the gap part in the back, and bring the Everlasting Comfort near the front edge seat so that it's right behind your bent knees, IT IS AWESOME!! I felt like my butt and my thighs are hovering above the seat because there is no more hard surface under your body. I just flew across the country, and the airline seats are really hard, and I kept regretting that I didn't bring the cushion!"
