RMS Deluxe 28 Inches Long Dressing Stick - Dressing Aid for Shoes, Socks, Shirts and Pants

This stick works well. My husband is 5"11" so the longer stick is useful.

This “dressing stick” is amazing! I had major low back surgery and I needed tools to help me be more self sufficient. This stick by far is my favorite implement. I use it to put on my underwear & pants, get clothes up off of the floor, & pick up bags containing bladder control pads from the floor. Due to my surgery, I can’t bend, twist, or lift anything above 5 pounds. This stick is an amazing tool that I recommend for anyone that has undergone surgery. It is made from great materials, and is made very well. It is constructed with one solid piece of wood, which makes for a very sturdy tool. The metal parts are covered with a rubbery type substance that protects your clothing from snags or damage. The overall texture & weight of the dressing stick are aesthetically pleasing in my hands.

This tool helps you be more independent. After my Hip Arthroscopy Surgery, I was having an immensely difficult time getting dressed. This double sided shaft tool immediately helped turn an arduous task into a very simple job. The hooks on each end are different shapes to help pull, grab and reach socks, pants, or any other piece of clothing that you need to put on. It's simple but extremely effective. I cannot imagine this breaking anytime soon. It's just a solid wooden shaft with hooks on each end. This was worth the money I paid.

This is a sturdy, well-made tool. The wooden dowel arrived quite warped/bent, but it is still usable. if you are looking for perfection, this might not be the one for you.

Helping tool for short people

Very useful in dressing tasks. Sturdy design.

The handle is wood - an unfinished dowel - and warped, in the case of the unit I received. The closet-hanger style hook end screws into the end of the dowel, and is made of a ~heavy gauge wire - coated with a rubberized substance - that nonetheless bends when used to remove compression stockings, etc. The wire will "work" in time, and snap off. It would be easy enough to make one with a length of dowel and closet hangers, with a loop hook at the other end for hanging. Both closet-hanger and loop hook end screw in through a plastic crutch tip style cover for the bare end of the dowel. I would think it would be much cheaper and easier to customize (thicker or longer dowel, etc.) if you were to make your own. Does it work? Mostly, although only for lighter duty.

While I do not (yet) require this item for "dressing", I bought it for help with hanging small items and rearranging even smaller items on display...it is lightweight enough that it is easy to use in every situation that I come across. I saw another designer using one of these to tend to final set-ups in detailed window displays, and was immediately smitten with it. Professional "detail sticks" may have stronger hooks, but man, are those rods ever heavy! There is no way when using such heavy tools to manage delicate tasks as you cope with the weight of the device. I really have no need to hoist heavy stuff...I need to be able to lift a long hook to extend my reach to deal with delicate things. This is wonderful! The three hooks address all the various kinds of items that I need to hang onto as I lift them...nice to have three options. Arrived quickly and well-protected for shipping!

The concept is great, but if you're pushing and pulling with any force, either to remove socks or pull on work boots, the entire thing is just too weakly engineered.

I have an IKEA wardrobe system defunct, which each unit hangs 1m doubled (2m). and a wardrobe bought here with me 2 long hanging & 1 70cm hanging on top of each other. I have 1 leg do I have to sit on my bed to hang clothes up to 2m high, the L shape help me hang on the smaller wardrobe and rearrange my higher one. It also opens my curtains. Which with this stick makes it easy. I've used the hook end to lift hangers bras by step off the floor and I hang it by the hook. So being disabled 5" and sitting on my low bed it was easy, helps me be independent. My support workers eyes popped when she saw the work I've down I wish it was a bit longer maybe 10cm but it worked for everything

Exactly what my elderly parents needed to help with everyday things.

Very pleased that there is such a product. I was not aware of them until just recently. I have struggled to get socks off from time to time so am so glad that I thought to see if I could buy such an item. Thank you Amazon. As an added bonus I can now also use it to place clothing that is on the top rung of my wardrobe. This one is great to get my socks off but will look for a metal one to help with clothing placement as this one is only wood and may not last long for that.

This item is functional but it much shorter than expected. The issue is that the stick is made of wood & it is crooked so this affects the functionality of it. The ends/hooks are sturdy enough so that is why I have given it the 2 stars in the review
