How does the tip attach to the cane? I bought a different tip and it requires the center of the cane to be bored out. Does this one just slip on like the rubber tips? Thank you for your responses.

I couldn't attach it and sent it back. There's another style cane that has a tripod already attached - I can't remember the name of it but I bought it here.

The tip does just slide over the end of the cane. Even if the cane shaft seems too big, you may need to apply a bit of olive oil, WD40, or your favorite lubricant to both the end of the cane, and the inside of the tip.

My Dad's came with one tip. He loves the cane, by the way. It's sturdy and tall enough for his 6 foot frame.

You pop the tip of your current cane off and push this one in its place. I will warn you, it is SOLID rubber and VERY heavy.

It depends on the tip of the stick. Most canes have a standard diameter and the cane tip is designed to slip right on - friction fit. But if your telescoping stick is a smaller diameter, the tip won't fit. Look at your stick next to a standard cane and see if they are the same diameter. Of course, you could always build up the tip of your stick with friction tape, but that is not an ideal solution.

I'm was not as happy with this cane as the orginal one. My mom's friend purchased the orginal and its great, I purchased the Trusty Cane and was not as happy. Best advise buy the orginal one.

The outside diameter of the end of the one I have is ¾ of an inch. I just measured it the other day, when I ordered a Hugo quad pod tip. The tip that came with the cane is in excellent condition, I just wanted the added security of the quad pod tip. It says it'll fit a standard ¾ inch cane, and that's exactly what the Carex Cane that I have measures.

Check the item description for the cane tip's diameter and make sure the sizes match. This tip was very easy to attach and has not needed any tightening. I don't have a "nova designer cane" however. My cane is 3/4" diameter.

The length of this cane is adjusted by twisting (turning) the lower sections of the cane. I have had about four differ ones over the years and some are marked with arrows to show which way to twist to unlock it and in the unlocked position you can push or pull the sections in or out to adjust the length and then twist the lower section in the other direction to lock it in place. When it is extended to a normal length for walking it may be very tight and require a good deal of effort to unlock. Anytime you are locking it after adjusting for a normal walking length you must tighten it very tight or it might collapse if you put your weight (or downward pressure) on it. How much you can shorten it I am not sure as I have never needed it collapsed all the way to it shortest length. The key is to look for those markings painted on the cane showing which way to twist to unlock.

Yes, it does have rubber tip on it. It is a great cane and the handle is extremely comfortable!

Yes, all Essential Medical canes come with a rubber cane tip attached to the bottom. Thank you for your inquiry and please let us know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

If the cane is only slightly thinner than the hole you may wrap the cane with a strip of thin aluminum (not foil) and then tighten the set screw. Note: There is no good method of attaching this device to a wooden cane, particularly if it is tapered at the end. The set screw will drill itself into the wood; but will not be well balanced and permanently attached. This device is intended to be put on an aluminum cane of the correct diameter. In this case it works very well.

Can anyone just be specific and answer if it fits a 1/2" diameter cane? Boy7 oh boy, it's not a difficult question. Can the manufacturer answer this? Who is the manufacturer and I'll contact them directly.

That never came to my mind, but I just measured the cane itself is 3/4in. and the rubber tip is 11/2in. it is height adjustable and I really like it. I hope this answers your question.

I cut it off with a box cutter on one of them. Some I could twist off but it was work. I bought several of these and each of the original cane tips acted a little bit different.

I have my rain-guard nonslip cane tip now for almost a year and it still works. It has not yet cracked and hope it doesnt. I hope this was helpful.
