Abstract: Provided herewith is a walking cane device that converts into a tool for grasping items out of the normal reach of an individual. The device comprises two vertical members, pivotably connected to each other. One end of the device is a handle end and the other end is the tip end. Upon releasing a locking mechanism the handle end can be opened up, thereby opening up the tip end to provide a gripper end for grasping objects distant from the handle end. The gripper end being shaped to provide a flat gripper portion for grasping objects as well as a concave surface portion for gripping cylindrical objects. Upon closing the apparatus, the two vertical members interlock to prevent the members from separation during use as a cane. Also provided is a detachable broader base that can be secured to the tip of the device when utilized as a cane.
