The Shorty Cripper by Quadtools is a revolutionary custom-made reacher/grabber designed for C5-C7 quadriplegics who have extension wrist function (ie, able to bend their hand back at the wrist).The Cripper can also be used by anyone who requires assistance while picking up objects. Available in left or right and in Lightweight or Heavy Duty to suit different applications.
The Shorty Cripper is made from durable aluminium and stainless steel, and is designed to easily slip over the left or right arm without the need for any straps. The Cripper is available in left and right, and is made according to the user's measurements for a custom fit. The Cripper does not require any grip or finger movement to operate the 'grabbing' mechanism, instead, the user simply has to bend their hand back and forth to pick up or release objects. All Quadtools are rigorously tested and come with a 100% unconditional guarantee. A second demonstration video can be viewed here.

About Quadtools:
Quadtools were invented by a C5-C6 quadriplegic who was looking to increase his independence. It became his goal to design an affordable, functional, and durable reacher for quadriplegics and people with limited hand function. His son continued to re-invent the original Cripper to meet a wide variety of needs for quadriplegics and provide custom reachers to fit any size arm and hand.
