Hip Kit 5

Bought this kit after I had back surgery it was very useful and helpful. Would recommend for people having back surgery.

I could not bend down prior and after my surgery. 3weeks post op I can but during the time I couldn’t I used the extended arm grabber exclusively. My kids call it the Claw! I will reference the extended arm as the Claw. I bought the set of tools thinking I would use each but only used the Claw. Every tool in the set are good quality. For me this was worth the money even though I didnt have need for the other tools. It’s nice to know I have them if putting on my shoes become difficult. I’m a Birkenstocks chick so everything just slips on without assistance. The claw is light, has a metal stick at the end to hook onto things. A tiny magnet that helps pick up light metals (mine fell off on day two of use) and a textured claw to pick up small light things like candy wrappers or heavier items like a water bottle or clothes on the floor. The Claw is a must have for laundry help. I keep the Claw close by like i do my phone. I give this product a 10 of 10

It was recommended by my PT person that I purchased this product after having a major back surgery. I like the length of the shoehorn and it is very helpful to get shoes on as well as picking things up with a little extra hook on the end. The grabber tool or cloth tool works really well in the very beginning but now several weeks later, it seems to be wearing out a little bit. It just doesn’t seem to have that grip to hold onto things as it did in the beginning. I wear short socks, so unfortunately, the sock tool does not help with the type of socks that I have but once winter comes if I still need it, I will have it for my longer socks. But if not, use the bathing sponge because I already have something that I like much better

The shoe horn seemed a bit short to be of much use to me. The sponge was super handy. The grabber works pretty decent, feels a little on the flimsy side but so far it has served the purpose. A few times I have had to manually fix the end where it slightly goes to side n won’t open backup, but overall it has been a good grabber. The clothes helper has been good but I have found myself using the grabber more for pulling up clothing. The star is the sock helper in my mind. I have had trouble bending for socks/shoes for years and there is a little learning curve but after a few tries it becomes easy. Just make sure you get the sock all the way on/ the toe is completely as far back as you can get it and should have no trouble. Overall this was very handy and I am really glad I bought it. If you are having any kind of hip or probably knee surgery I would recommend.

After having total knee replacement I needed help with everything! While in the hospital the therapist gave me the grabber and stick to help me. While I was still in the hospital I ordered this kit, although it says for hips trust me it is also for knee replacement. The grabber helped with things that dropped or I couldn’t reach, the stick with hook was great for reaching down to pull up my jammie pants and the sock helper was great, just slide your sock on the helper and slid your foot in and pull up. I was able to help myself with some things so I didn’t have to bother anyone for everything. Well worth the money, actually for everything that comes in this kit it’s a bargain.

Exactly what I needed after my knee surgery. Everything worked very well. Very sturdy products.

I recently had a spinal fusion and wanted to be prepared since I can’t bend, lift or twist for 6 weeks. The Reacher is a little short. To pick up items off the floor I need to bend at the knees which is really hard on the knees. The reacher is 26 inches in length so if you’re are tall you want a longer tool. I am 5’ 7”. For reaching for something on the same level it-works great. The dressing stick is honestly my best friend right now. It has a plastic coating on the ends to not scratch up your furniture or faucets. It works great for pulling the stopper up on the tub spout to start the shower, pull my socks on, grab clothing to pull up. The L bracket lifts the toilet seat, open drawers. The washing sponge is useless because the plastic handle is so flimsy and sponges tend to accumulate mold and bacteria so not something you want to use with an incision. So plan on buying a real one. Found a great one on Amazon for about $10 The tool to help put your socks on is too smooth so the sock slides off before you get the sock over your heel but that’s where the dressing stick comes in handy. I loop the hook through the sock and pull it the rest of the way on. Although I might need new socks by the time I’m done because they are getting small holes from the hook. I haven’t had a use for the extended shoe horn so far. All in all if you can buy some of the useful item separately might be the best way to go

Great quality and easy to use. Still in use
