I just bought a grabber from Harbor Freight Tools. On the box it

distance between the end of my thumb and the end of the grabber. The
distance was less than 28 inches. I think that something described
as "nearly" should be at least 90 percent of the size/length of what
it is being compared to. Ninety percent of 36 is 32.4.
Twenty-eight is less than 78 percent of 36.

I think that Harbor Freight Tools is being deceptive when they
describe this grabber. What do you think?

Actually, they underestimated it. 28" down, 28" up, and 28" out would be
7 feet! You got a bargain so don't complain.:-)

Times 3. That was 21 way back when I was in school.

There could be more of the same coming because it keeps telling me that
the server could not be reached thus it was not sent...see what happens
with this one. Heck, it could be 42 feet once they all get there!
