Nearly three feet
I just bought a grabber from Harbor Freight Tools. On the box it
says, "Extends your reach by nearly 3 feet." I measured the 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? -- When I am in the kitchen, I often kick one of my cat's balls. After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise. |
