Putting Together the Stick

Getting a Reacher Grabber

You can buy a reacher grabber online, just be careful to buy the "suction cup" style reacher grabber instead of any other kind. We generally like the Vive brand ones, but this is a simple enough tool that not much can go wrong.

Here are a couple of sample links:

5. Wait until the silicone cures, then remove the tips
