Abstract
A reaching and grabbing tool is provided. The tool includes a trigger assembly having a jaw actuation trigger and a trigger actuation gear. A jaw assembly is provided having a first jaw and a second jaw operably connected to the jaw actuation trigger to move the first jaw and the second jaw. A collar assembly is disposed between the trigger assembly and the jaw assembly, the collar assembly being selectively lockable to extend the tube to different lengths as desired by the user and to reduce the length of the tube to its smallest length for storage.
