ABSTRACT:
A tool for retrieving articles positioned in a bed of a vehicle that are out of reach includes a handle sleeve being graspable to facilitate manipulation of the handle sleeve. An extension rod is slidably mounted to the handle sleeve. The extension arm is telescopic to vary a length of the extension rod. The extension rod is extended from the handle sleeve when the extension rod is lengthened. A portion of the extension rod is positioned in the handle sleeve when the extension rod is retracted. An offset arm is coupled to a free end of the extension rod. A retrieval arm is hingedly coupled to the offset arm. The retrieval arm is pivoted between a deployed position aligned with the offset arm and a stored position.
