RMS Hip Kit - Premium 5-Piece Hip Knee Replacement Kit - Ideal for Recovering from Hip Replacement, Knee or Back Surgery, Mobility Tool for Moving and Dressing (32 Inch Reacher)

I would recommend this to anyone who needs assistance for whatever reason. This shouldn't be only relegated to the post surgical or geriactric group. This kit can easily be used for so many things around the house by anyone. I worried that this would be cheap quality, but it proved itself to be very durable and well made. I used everything but the sponge post hip surgery. The shoe horn to help me put on pants, tall boots that were snug to slip on, and hook shoes off the floor with it's handle. I kept the pants dressing stick next to me during the day to hook things and drag them to me instead of trying to go get them. The hook is sturdily mounted in the stick so I could even drag my small table covered in supplies to me without the hook pulling out. The sock aid actually works! It wasn't perfect, but it would get the sock up and at least around the heal. I could use the other tools to pull it up higher. But the best item is the extended gripping stick. It offers a fine dexterity that can pick up even tiny items yet it is strong enough to pick up shoes and cans. 'll use that long after this surgery to pick up items that drop behind the washing machine or in other tight places. The only item I didn't use yet is the sponge, but I may use that to help wash windows or my car. All in all one of the top things to have especially post surgery. Excellent!

Sock aid won’t work it’s to big socks won’t stretch that far. The grabber is very light weight maybe it will work . I think it’s to expensive for what you are getting .

This is an excellent value. Each of the tools included are very well made and extremely useful when you are recovering from Hip surgery. Can't speak to knee as I have not done that but expect patient limitations are similar. Difficult to bend down and pick something up the grabber or dressing hook works perfectly. Difficuting putting on socks, the sock aid is a dream. Very high quality and will handle the tension of most socks including short compression socks. For me I already had a sock butler for knee high socks and wanted the dressing hook for help in taking them off by myself, without recruiting a family member. Happy to report the dressing hook will help you take off a full knee length compression sock. Believe me, it's a big deal when you want to be in control of when to wear or take off those puppies. If they start to hurt you want them off. Not always easy when you have to wait for someone to come home and help you. RMS has created an excellent value product here cheaper than the items purchased separately. A must have if surgery/rehab is in your future.

I am two weeks out from the replacement and all but one product are working better than expected, the grabber is a great tool that has me picking up every thing from socks to newspapers that drop the floor, the dressing tool was a big surprise, work with it, helpful for putting on shorts, pulling up socks and getting into shoes that have elastic laces, the shoe horn makes sliding into those shoes easy pezy, the big ole blue sponge is ok but a little floppy, just back of on the pressure, the sock aide two weeks out and it failed this morning, the friction pad on the back tore off even after hot glueing for added security, Oh if you are a male with a shoe size larger then 12 D then consider a wider sock aide, getting my 14’s little toe past the knot and into the barrel of the device was a daily exercise. It’s a great kit that makes the hip replacement recovery a whole lot easier.

I've used most of the items in this kit after my back surgery 2 weeks ago. I can't bend, lift or twist for 3 months. My favorite item in the kit is the grabber! It works awesome! I have used it for laundry, picking up things I've dropped on the floor, picking up & putting down my pet food dishes, & helping in putting on pants, etc. The long shoe horn is also super helpful in putting on my tennis shoes. It's the perfect length. I am using the long handle sponge in the shower but wish it was more of a loofah. The sponge is kind of slippery. Maybe it's just my personal preference. I haven't used the sock helper yet since I mainly wear short ankle socks. When it gets colder and the need arises, I'll be ready. I saw it demonstrated at the hospital and it is super helpful! The final item is supposed to help in putting on clothes but I haven't needed to use it yet. I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point. Overall, I highly recommend this kit!
