What is the heaviest weight this reacher can pick up?

i don't know specifics about weight. i use this specifically for items in my upper kitchen cabinets. large cans/jars such as peanuts, canned vegetables. i have not dropped anything yet. my husband uses one outside for things such as picking up tree limbs, garbage, etc. the quality of this exceeds others i have looked at. be aware of not getting one that is too long--you won't be able to hold handle and reach the item you picked up.

Depends on user but the Pro 32" is best. The ergonomic handle on the pro is much superior. I would guess one pound as they are not designed to pick up "weight"

I don't know the heaviest weight I have picked up five pounds. It would depend on how much grip you have in your hand.

On the actuator itself it says it can lift 450 lbs.Its very fast and the wiring harness is very high quality.Extremly pleased with this purchase.

It's easy to use with either hand, as long as your hand can close the grip, which requires only very mild pressure, it holds whatever one wants to pick up well. I earlier had a reacher with two rubber cups that was difficult to use for pickup, this one is much easier to use. My Physical Therapist recommended this model and I am glad she did.

Not sure how much it weighs. I can pick it up without a problem. it is made of cast aluminum and should be stronger than clay.

Gary, the trigger pull is very light. If I were to estimate it I would say 3 to 4 lbs. Hope this helps.

Its possible. Heavy, but possible. You pick it up from the front - there are wheels on the back. Its about 100 pounds.

ummm I don't know but it doesn't really matter as i think the highest weight that as ever in the history of the universe that has been put on a barbell and lifted by a human is about 1100 pounds. . . . with that said it seems VERY strong and unless you are an elite level Powerlifter I'm sure any weight you could use wouldn't hurt it at all.

heaviest part would weigh about 70 lbs. very clumsy to try to handle up and down stairs. good machine but not something I would want to manhandle a lot. I am the same age as you and definitely wouldn't want to carry it very far.

Possibly the longest version would have the heft....but the boat will have to do some of the work landing anything over 20 lbs.

If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet. That is one way junk yards separate iron and steel from aluminum. Huge electro-magnets pick up the iron products and the aluminum items fall out. You should have learned that in grade school!! If you mean by use of the jaws or clamp on the end-- it works but there must be something better. I found it barely goes around a can and is then difficult to discard the can. I assume you are planning on picking up hundreds. Until you find something better why not put a nail backwards in a stick and use it like people pick up litter? Aluminum cabs are very thin and puncture easily. Good Luck. If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet.

THere is no way for me to tell you a max weight. But, I own the product and it is truly a fairly well made, heavy duty construction. I would never hesitate to buy this for someone - all steel construction.

I need a reacher to pick up things like pens, change, anything it will hold . I am paralyzed and I can't bend over in my wheelchair without the chance of falling. I can't hold myself up. I have no control of my balance.This reacher you sent me won't close all the way to oick small things up. it is defective.

Negative. No height adjustment. It really isn't that difficult to just move closer to what is needing to be reached. If adjustability if required, the best solution would be to purchase different length Reachers.

I hear it is "ultra strong" but I also cannot find the weight limits for it.

I haven't weighed this product, but it is very heavy, more than I was able to lift which would be up to 40 lb.

It says 39 pounds on the packaging..and I was able to pick it up easily and so was my 13 year old son.

This is quite heavy and bulky. Lifting out would require at least two strong people.
