I purchased this in June of 2018. Today is March 14th, 2024, and I just finished picking up a trash barrel full of debris that people toss out of their cars into our yard. From a pile of cigarette butts (one at a time) to gallon jugs, alcohol bottles, tin cans, empty 40# dog food bags and all manner of other paper and plastic products and it didn't miss one of them. I don't leave it outside. Once a year I spray the cable and moving parts with silicone, and it has never failed me. Whether it's grabbing a shoe that got kicked under the bed or roadside trash, it just keeps on going. 6 Years ago, I paid $15.99. Today it is $17.99.
$2 increase in six years does seem like something to complain about.

Pretty good, may need modification for reliability
The product listing states there is an updated 2019 model and I purchased mine in 2017, so I suspect there may be differences for your use of this grabber, but mine broke after having it for a few years and I figured out why and how to make it more robust and wanted to share. I suspect most low-priced grabbers like this may have similar weak points in their design and I think I would buy this one again.First - here's how it works (referencing annotations on the drawing I made)1. You pull the trigger (1) next to the handle2. Inside the handle, pulling the trigger pivots the handle to move the Trigger Wire Coupling (2). The wire (3) then pulls because it has a small ferrule on the end of the wire, locking it in place inside the handle.3. This pulls the wire inside the arm which goes down to the pincers in the grabber end.4. Inside the grabber is a spring(4) which pushes a grabber wire coupling (5) back out and opens up the pincers (7)5. But when the trigger is pulled and the wire contracts, it pulls a complicated - and weak - pincers coupling pivot (6) that provides the interface between the grabber wire coupling (5) and the pincers (7) so that the pincers close when the grabber wire coupling is pulled toward the handle (by pulling the trigger) and opens when the spring(6) pushes the grabber wire coupling back out to the tip of the grabber.As mentioned in the parts description above, on mine the pincers coupling pivot(6) is what broke. This is a small and complicated little unit that comprises multiple pieces of plastic to pull each pincer when the grabber wire coupling(5) moves. If either of these break, one pincer will stop moving, which yields the grabbers broken.What I'm doing is taking apart the grabber-end to replace those parts with a zip tie or something else that is simpler and stronger and will repair the pincers.Here are three things I wish were changed in the construction that would make this more reliable:1. Build with some screws rather than rivets so that the grabber end could more easily be repaired. I'd rather spend $20-25 on one of these that can be repaired vs. $18 on one that breaks and needs to be thrown away (or is really hard to repair, like this one is)2. The wire could pretty easily be made serviceable. The ferrules on the ends that attach the wire to the trigger wire coupling and grabber wire coupling make it impossible to service. This could be replaced with part of a bike brake wire pretty easily.3. The pincer coupling pivot is cheap and prone to break. This, too, could pretty easily be designed for ~$0.10 more cost and last longer.Overall though these can be made to work and seems like the overall parts and construction can last a long time. Out of the box, though, like you'll see with many of the top reviews, it will probably break sooner than you expect.
