Question 1

will this work for elderly people with severe arthritis?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is YES. I too have arthritis tho maybe not as severe as yours but the 19 inch is the one I use the most although the 32 inch is also necessary for certain situations. Buy both as a set. I hope this has helped.

Question 2

Will this pick up the newspaper from the doorstep?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. These are the best things since sliced bread. I just had back surgery 2 weeks ago and am not supposed to bend, lift 
 or twist. I use these to do everything from picking things up off the floor to getting laundry in and out of the machines, to picking up and putting down the dog's food and water dishes. This morning at the office I picked up a grape off the floor. I have picked up an individual pill and a dime off the floor. I picked up my newspaper off the driveway this morning.

Question 3

Can it pick up a pill from the floor?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Both of them can. I honestly wasn't sure, so just now, I went and put two pills on the floor - a vit d, which is round and slippery kind of, and a tiny thyroid flat pill and I could pick up each pill with both of these grabbers! I am not using them much now, but I had surgery 5-1/2 weeks ago and they were very very handy for me for the first 2-3 weeks as I could not bend over at all!

Question 4

What is the jaw width on these?

Accepted Answer

4-1/2" on the 32" grabber and 4" on the 19" grabber.  That's not absolute, because the jaw material is flexible and slanted slightly, so the actual width can be slightly larger, if necessary.
