NRS Healthcare Dressing Aid Stick Deluxe

I compared a lot of different dressing sticks this was one of the cheapest & from a brand I recognized, so I bought it.I am happy to report that the ends are fully rubber coated so there are no metal or pointy parts sticking out. The shape of the ends is very good, I use it both for dressing & to help lift up/down hangers in my wardrobe it works very well.The only negative is that although the wood feels sturdy it is unfinished, so feels dry & had some little bits of wood sticking up. Maybe the little bits of wood could be sandpapered off I'm not sure, I suppose treating the wood to make it more smooth & plesent to touch would have cost more money.I am crafty, so I had some spare tape that I wrapped around the full length of the handle, then added clear tape over the top & that worked well. On the plus side the stick looks more jazzy now & is easier to spot since I used brightly coloured tape.However I don't think you should have to DIY an object's before being able to use it, especially a disability aid.If you are doing research then you should add the tape/ wood covering into the total price of the item. Considering I saw some for £40 & this cost £10 it might still work out cheaper.

Looks useful and adaptable, but haven’t needed it yet

I like this product as for me it serves a multi-functional purpose, ie not only for lifting clothes off the rails but also for opening the difficult for me to reach top window levers/latches/keys. It would help to have a sturdier/harder wood handle, possibly made of steel to fully support weight of coats when lifting at an angle.

Nice and light. Extremely useful. But mine break easily, probably because they are in constant use. At this price that’s fine. But I think it would be better with a firmer attachment for the hooks. Recommended despite everything.

This works very well for helping me dress. I wear TED stockings and taking them off is a nightmare. An impossibility really. This tool helps a lot but the force used to remove my stockings is damaging the fitting of the hooks. Overall I don't know how long it will last but I'm still using it now.

My wife recently had a total hip replacement operation, recently, and found this item to be an extremely useful tool.

Hard to use with my co~ordination, but practise makes perfect they say!

This is a must for all those with limited mobility and movement range I'm disabled with a spinal injury and use an electric wheelchair l. Need help getting dressed but this dressing stick is excellent to provide me with some independence has many uses as well as picking up things with the hook end too .
