Mine too but I've had to settle. So sad. At this stage in life, I would be wasting money by buying the best.

Not sure if they've been mentioned but two of the most used tools around here are an extended hand grabber and magnets on sticks...sure saves a lot of bending over whenever I drop something (which is all the time)...also prevents overextending the shoulders when reaching for something...

No used good old fashioned Made in USA Wiltons around in Canada. All newer import stuff.

Still lots of good used Made in England Records though. All the new ones are import garbage since Irwin took over

No more overextending and back bending for THIS old guy. I deliberately keep my back straight, engage my core and SQUAT down to pick up stuff.

Gotta work those legs and glutes to minimize hip injuries.
