win a gopher iii reach tool

I recently had the opportunity to get ahold of a Gopher III reach tool for fairly cheap, so I decided to try it out. Alas, as I had feared, I don't have enough squeeze strength in my hands to operate it. But my loss is your gain; I'm giving it away to a lucky confoozled.com reader!

This is going to be a much simpler giveaway than the last contest. All you have to do is subscribe to confoozled.com via e-mail, and then leave a comment here to let me know you want to be entered. Existing subscribers are eligible, too - just comment! Earn bonus entries by getting your friends to subscribe: send me an e-mail with the e-mail addresses of the friends you're referring, and I'll give you a bonus entry for each one of them that subscribes and remains subscribed until the end of the contest!

PLEASE NOTE: I will not contact your friends; that's your job! And I won't subscribe them myself. I only need their e-mail addresses so that I can verify who referred who. Your friends won't be spammed or signed up for anything against their will. I will deliberately "lose" their e-mail addresses as soon as the contest ends.

All subscriptions must be confirmed and remain active until the end of the contest.

By the way, here's the "official" description of the product you're entering to win:

Precise enough to squeeze a paper clip and strong enough to lift 5 pounds, the Gopher III will help you reach up high and down low. Bright LED headlight illuminates the tool's path so it's great for reaching objects in hard-to-see areas. Rubberized grip. Folds for compact storage. 33" long x 1" wide x 5" high.

Contest ends at 11:59pm EDT next Friday, October 3. The winner will be drawn and notified over the weekend and announced the following Monday (provided they have responded to claim their prize). Good luck!

I love that cute gopher in the tool's logo. I've always had an affinity for chipmunks, squirrels, and other arboreal critters. Seeing that this tool is the Gopher III, were there models I and II to come before this one?I'm guessing III must have improvments over the previous models.

Well, this one has a headlight and it folds... so maybe one of those features was added to make version II and the other for version III. LOL, I have no idea...

trackback: gopher still up for grabs from confoozled.com

Does no one want this Gopher III reacher? The giveaway ends at midnight tonight, and so far there's only one comment and I'm not even sure if that comment was intended as an official entry...

Looks like it would be a useful gadget. Is is for reaching things down from the back of the top shelf?

Off of shelves, up off the floor, anywhere you have trouble reaching. I have trouble with both, but unfortunately can't squeeze the trigger on this thing either. I've always wished for someone to design one that works in reverse: squeeze to open, relax your grip to have the reacher automatically grip any object with just the right amount of pressure to hold onto it without crushing it. If it exists, I haven't found it yet.
