Arcoa's EZ Assist® Reacher Brings Items Into Easy Reach for Anyone Needing an Aid to Daily Living
September 23, 2002, San Marcos, CA — Arcoa Industries' EZ Assist Reacher puts hard-to-reach items at the fingertips of anyone needing a little help now and then. At home, on the job, or shopping, the lightweight and easy to use EZ Assist Reacher enables anyone with a disability, such as those who are wheelchair bound, to easily retrieve items from up high, down low or out of reach. Something as small as a pill or as large as a book is now within easy reach.
According to Chet Warfel, CEO of Arcoa Industries, "In 1982, Arcoa introduced the E-Z Reacher, the first reaching tool especially designed to assist seniors. Today, it is used by millions of consumers for thousands of uses."
The EZ Assist Reacher, featuring a red handle, comes in three different lengths 26", 30" and 32", designed to accommodate all reaching needs.
Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, pharmacies and medical supply companies understand the value of helping patients help themselves with the EZ Assist Reacher. Healthcare workers and maintenance staff also find it a useful tool on the job.
Anyone wheelchair-bound or on crutches will want to keep the lightweight EZ Assist Reacher close-by to bring items within arms reach; or to open cabinets, drawers, and doors with no strain. The EZ Assist Reacher conveniently hangs off any standard doorknob, so it's always close at hand.
Seniors find the EZ Assist Reacher especially helpful with everyday household chores. Change light bulbs, reach behind appliances, pick up toys and other items on the floor with ease. Retrieve items on high shelves such as dishes, boxes or cans, and pick up unsanitary items you wouldn't want to touch with your bare hands (such as germ-laden, infectious or hazardous materials).
No bending, stooping, or stretching, the EZ Assist Reacher is easy on your knees, easy on your back, and easy to use. Product features include: a red pistol-grip handle so it's easy to find, long-sturdy aluminum neck that easily reaches under a bed or sofa, or into a pantry, medicine cabinet or closet. The durable, replaceable rubber cups provide the tool's unique gripping ability.
Gone are the days of struggling to reach items on high shelves. The EZ Assist Reacher is especially handy for anyone who is unstable and unable to use a step stool. It is built to last and stands up to heavy-duty everyday use.
The EZ Assist Reacher is rust-resistant so you can take it into the bath or shower. Use it to remove litter from a pond, pool, spa or fountain. The lightweight shaft eases the pain of those backbreaking household chores and cuts cleaning time.
Arcoa creates essential tools that simplify garden, home and work chores. For information on the Arcoa EZ Assist Reacher contact Arcoa at (800) 748-5529 or visit www.arcoa.com. Other Arcoa products include E-Z Reacher®, dirtBAG®, BAGman®, E-Z Pruner® and BIGmouth Shoulder Bag.
