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?


Sounds reasonable. They should probably just list the length.


I think that's what they measured. From tip to tip is nearly 3 feet.
