These are the best back scratchers ever. I had to order them because I gave my one and only just like these away. I kept one and gave out the rest for Christmas..

The only issue is the durability. Mine tend to break after a year but you get 5 in a pack and their cheap so overall solid back scratchers. Plus you know when you have that itch you can get to having these is a life saver.

This item is not sharp. It does the job without scraping the skin. It is telescopic. It is also kind of cute. We have had different kinds over the years. We like this best.

Bought these on Amazon from D.M. Merchandising 13 years ago, and sought out this trusted seller on Amazon to replenish. These are durable, handy back scratchers that get the job done. They expand long enough to reach the itch, and when collapsed take up little space, so easy to travel. The 'claw' doesn't swivel or oollapse in length when using as others do. Highly recommend these Bear Claw back scratchers from this seller.

Maybe it's caused by the dry furnace heat of winter, but whatever the reason, the skin of my back has been itchy and I cannot always reach the spot to aggressively scratch that itch. Of course, the itch is always worse when no one is around to lend a helping hand. I have found myself attacking door frames, hair brushes and anything I could grab in hopes of hitting that magic spot. But unfortunately, that didn't work very well. Then I started looking for a solution. I found these. I have to say, so far, so good. I have had no issues with the head spinning around or turning while using it. It is flimsy when extended to its fullest length, however, I don't think that will be a problem since I don't plan on extending it to that length. The reach from extending it once meets my needs just fine. Hint: When extending it, keep the smaller "inner tube" inside a larger outer tube for more stability and support. This way, it seems to be study enough. I am happy with this purchase. This is great for those hard to reach places. The grip is nice, sort of a rubbery feeling and it makes it easy to hold. Another reviewer stated that this item is sharp and scratched their skin. I haven't had that problem. The tines of this aren't sharp at all, just perfect. I love the 4 pack, a great value plus I can have them in multiple rooms. The shipping was fast and I received these sooner than I expected.
