Hard to decide! Buy Both!
The photos show the 2 grabbers that I purchased yesterday from Amazon Prime. The Pikstik is an exact replacement for the one I have had for many years now. The folding one I bought from Amazon Prime as well.I drive a mobility scooter and I have had the Pikstik unit secured across the top of the tiller and would perfectly set behind my 2 rear view mirrors and secured with 2 small clips. When I would spot something that would be a road hazard to cars by getting picked up by a moving vehicle and shot into a passing vehicle or a vehicle following it, I would swoop in and grab the object off the street and then place it off the road or if small enough I would toss it into the trash bag that I carry with me. I use the grabber almost every time I take the scooter out for a ride. I also have a 30” extension magnet for the metal objects that I find in the road like lug nuts, screws, nails, construction staples, hubcaps and items that I don’t know what they are. As a retired Army veteran, I used to be a helicopter mechanic and crew chief on Huey’s and unfortunately I was involved in an incident where a piece of metal was picked up and thrown into my tail rotor as the pilot lifted off the tarmac. The object destroyed the tail rotor causing the craft to spin out of control and the pilot had to slam us down HARD which caused horrific damage and injury to the pilot. I was lucky enough to only sustain minor injury. The one BIG rule that was always talked about was F. O. D. (Foreign Object Damage). Any object that is on the ground is a potential hazard to any aircraft so major attention is focused on making sure that no FOD is on the tarmac.The same applies to roads and streets and anywhere that vehicles travel. An object can be picked up by the tread of a vehicle and either right then or maybe later when that vehicle is on the highway or freeway and has enough speed going that the object stuck in the tread of the tire suddenly lets go of it. This object can and does catapult out from the tire and can easily damage a vehicle that happens to be behind them. I have seen objects penetrate through windshields or strike the body of the vehicle causing serious damage/or injury.So in my small town, while out and about I take it upon myself to help remove potentially dangerous objects from the streets in our town.So enough of the FOD stuff. I have always had the Pikstik non folding grabber handy for me to use. So why did I also buy the folding one? Well I sometimes, rarely but sometimes I wished I had 2 grabbers to aid in some of the larger items that I find in the streets. The other day I somehow managed to snap one of the grabber legs off from a branch sticking out of a large bush. I attempted a JB Weld repair with somewhat less than stellar precision and decided to just purchase a new one.So here it is. The Pikstik has a price tag of around $25. The folding one was $10 on a 50% reduced price from $20. The photos show that other than the folding difference the 2 grabbers are identical. I will install the non folding one back where the broken one has been riding for years. The folding one has a little snap clamp that I have installed under the seat of my mobility scooter and I can access it easily when I need a second one to assist with the Pikstik. Both of these grabbers seem to work identically and equally. One $25. The other $9.95. Hummmm. Big difference in the price for what? I’m not sure. But I am sure that I needed to replace the broken one I have with the same. I haven’t used the folding one yet but I can tell that it will probably perform equally as well as the non folding one. My recommendation would be as follows……Buy both of them and enjoy! I will!Now, I have 2 fur-babies that are ready to go for a ride today in “their” scooter. Hopefully I will try the folding one today.I will be posting this same review on both of the grabbers pages.

It is very sturdy and it doesn't take a lot of strength to grab it but it holds it
I love this grabber it's strong and it doesn't Bend unless you pull it out of the slot which is the best thing and the packaging oh my gosh was wonderful. I wasn't even sure what it was until I opened it up and I saw it. It is good sturdy wonderful. Good job and it's an A+ Plus I also like the wide bottom, the handle it works so good it's not hard to push but it grabs it and holds it.

Not as strong a grabber as I had hoped for, but probably fine for small things.
The grabber feels like it should be nice and strong. But I can tell you it won't grab and hold onto a 12x20 pillow to get it over to you. I was quite disappointed with that. I had what felt like a flimsier one but it could handle that little pillow. unfortunately after several years, that one finally gave up. I haven't used this one for cans or anything yet, so I can't speak to that at this time.

The Grabber Works Perfectly!
The grabber works great! The price was right. It folds up so it can be compact. I used it to get some detergent. I dropped behind my washing machine and I couldn’t reach it. It picked it up first try don’t hesitate to buy one.

Hard Trigger Action Makes Some Tasks Difficult
It grabs things but, it an effort to make the device foldable, they sacrificed smooth movement of trigger. It's OK but the action is dry and gritty which makes dealing small items often difficult. If I had another chance, I'd consider alternatives.

Well worth the money
Works good. Opens big enough to pick up a 2 liter around the side of it. I can oick up beach towels with it. Clothing, grab cloths out the dryer or next to it when they fall over there. Makes cleaning up the house a lot better sonce your not constantly bending over. It does make noise like others have mentioned but its not a big deal.
