27" Dressing Stick, Sock Remover Tool, Independent Living Aid, Dressing Aids for Shoes, Socks, Shirts, and Pants

A recent hip replacement left me needing assistance devices until I was approved for full mobility again. This has turned out to be one of the most useful things ever! It's been so helpful in so many situations--especially during the first weeks when dressing, using the restroom, or simply reaching something that I normally would just lean over and grab were all very difficult or impossible. I used it to pull up clothing, pull a chair closer so I could push up on it, turn things on/off, get a pillow from the other end of the sofa, reach things that rolled too far away, and so much more. I would say that this dressing stick, a "grabber," and the thing that helps you put on socks should go home with everyone who has a joint replacement because you're absolutely going to need all three if you don't want to be completely dependent on pestering someone else constantly.Even now that I've regained near normal mobility, this is a device that I'm going to keep using because it's the perfect thing for tucking a lap throw around my feet and legs so the cold air can't get in through gaps. Just use this under the blanket to snag the bottom edge of the throw and pull it under your feet and legs. No more dislodging one area while trying to get everything tucked in nicely. I love it!Additionally, the finish on the wood is silky smooth, and the whole thing disassembles to fit into 12 inches (14" if you leave the large hook attached), which makes it travel friendly.

Absolutely a life safer for anyone who is not allowed to bend or twist due to injury, surgery, health problems, or size. This made getting my under wear and pants on very easy , comfortable, convenient after my spinal surgery. I was trying to use grabbers before and they all sucked.

don't sit or lie on it but as it will break but an effective tool overall.

As a dressing stick it is sturdy but also packable. I plan to use it to reach purses on high hooks in my closet.

I continuously have to keep tightening the stick. It comes in two pieces and you have to screw it together, endless tightening!

Works very well for taking off socks from a standing position. Have had nothing but success with this purchase.

Low quality! The metal cylinder that covers where the two parts screw together isn't a good fit and will snag your clothes or scratch skin furniture! :((

Thank You
