An article-retrieving apparatus enables a user to retrieve articles located inferior relative to the user. The apparatus comprises a coilable sleeve assembly, a handle assembly, and an article-grabbing assembly. The sleeve assembly comprises a force-translating inner member and a force-guiding outer sleeve. The inner member is slidably received within the outer sleeve. The handle assembly is cooperatively associated with a first sleeve assembly end and enables the user to impart an operative force to the inner member. The inner member is thus displaceable relative to the outer sleeve. The article-grabbing assembly is cooperatively associated with a second sleeve assembly end and comprises a plurality of cooperatively operative article-grabbing members. The article-grabbing members may thus retain a fetchable article located inferior relative to the user and the sleeve assembly is manually recoilable for retrieving the fetched article.
