Hundred yen store hand catcher

A "hand catcher" that can grab objects in high or narrow places that are out of reach. Many people have seen the station staff use it to pick up things that have fallen on the railroad tracks at the platform of the station. It's also called a "magic hand".

This is actually sold at 100-yen shops. I found it in Can Do.

There is no way to use it as explained, but if you push in the red part of the grip, you can catch it even if the catch at the tip closes. The catch has a jagged tooth shape that makes things less slippery.

The total length is about 82 cm and the weight is about 100 g. It's made surprisingly well, but it seems that you can't grab a heavy object that weighs many kilograms.

In addition to picking up furniture that is out of reach and things that have fallen into the gaps between furniture, it can also be used to open and close curtains in high places and pick up trash. It seems to be useful even in the scene of resting due to injury.

I dropped it in the furniture gap, but it's in the house and somehow it's just as it is ... If you are familiar with such things, why don't you help "it" that is waiting for you?
