The Essential Tool for Outdoor Clean-Up and Pick-Up Jobs: Heavy Duty E-Z Reacher® Saves Time, Effort, and Mess In the Workplace and at Home.

January 15, 2003, San Marcos, CA — Arcoa's original E-Z Reacher® was created 25 years ago and continues to lead its class. More than ever, people on the job realize they can save time and effort using a reaching tool. Customers who use it and distributors who sell it depend on Arcoa quality.

Designed to last, the E-Z Reacher® features a pistol-grip handle and a sturdy no-rust aluminum shaft. The durable rubber cups that provide the tool's unique gripping ability are easy to replace and easy to clean. And, smooth rolled edge steel straps ensure that no one will be injured by sharp edges.

According to Marty Ziegenfuss, President of Arcoa Industries, "This is a durable product that is not going to break. Due to the demand from everyone from construction foremen to janitorial and maintenance crews, we've developed six different lengths to handle a wide variety of jobs.

The E-Z Reacher® is indispensable equipment for livestock handlers, particularly in the poultry industry. It allows poultry farmers to swiftly and cleanly separate sick or deceased baby chicks from the healthy birds.

Sanitation workers and outdoor maintenance crews, who regularly face the need to pick up dirty or soiled objects that should not be handled with bare hands, find this tool especially useful. Anyone removing debris from restrooms, parks, campgrounds, yards, or roadside will want to keep the sturdy E-Z Reacher® close at hand.

"Over the years, Arcoa has enjoyed an increasing demand for labor saving devices that simplify everyday chores. So, "We expanded our product line to include debris bags and a long-handled garden pruner," states Ziegenfuss. She also recommends, "In the garden, team the E-Z Reacher® with one of ACROA's unique collection bags for the quickest clean up."

Reaching tools end repetitive bending and stooping, relieving back and knee strain in daily chores. Anyone whose job requires the following tasks should seriously consider purchasing an E-Z Reacher® to simplify their tasks:

  • Grab litter from ponds, pools and fountains while staying clean and dry

  • Remove pine cones, nuts and other tree debris, and keep property tidy by retrieving fallen leaves and branches without stooping

  • Pick up fruit from the tops of trees, no longer missing out on the sweetest pickings

  • Stay clean while keeping roadsides and property lines free from trash.

Arcoa creates essential tools that simplify garden, work, and maintenance chores. E-Z Reacher®, the company's first product, was created in 1982 to ease daily activities for seniors. It is available nationwide at more than 1,000 hardware and garden supply stores, including The Home Depot. Other Arcoa products include: dirtBAG®, BAGman®, E-Z Pruner® and BIGmouth Shoulder Bag.
