I've been unable to loosen the rubber tip to install the Hugo Quadpod I bought to use with this cane. Any ideas?

Put the cane tip in the sink or a bucket of hot water, let it soak for a few, than put on the floor with your feet on each side of tip and pull. it should come off.

Try a pair of channel locks.. I've got arthritis and keep a pair in my kitchen for opening all kinds of lids, drinks, etc. channel locks are a tool that's similar to adjustable pliers but longer handles and much better leverage.. Amazons probably got them... A must for old guys like me.

one would need to measure it exactly and saw off the length and re-attach the rubber tip...that is probably the drawback, everything else about that cane is wonderful....comfortable, sturdy and looks good.

Replace it through the tip - plastic end first, while holding in the other end. It should slide right in.

It easy to attach...takes 5 mins. 1) remove the old rubber cane tip. 2) press the cane into the QuadPod. 3) using the included allen wrench, tighten the nut on the bottom of the Quadpod...this holds the cane onto the Quadpod. I've attached the Quadpod to both of my father's canes and I never had to re-tighten them. He loves them and highly recommends them.

There should be two designated screw hard points. Go from underneath the metal arm bar-go thru the bar into the arm rest and screw it in until it is tight and not wiggly.

Just take the cane to a wheelchair store and show them the cane. They will fit your cane with the correct size rubber tip.

it will be more stable but the base may be to small for the cane to stand upon it's own. I used this:Hugo Mobility Quadpod Ultra Stable Cane Tip with Compact Quad Design, 3/4 Inches, Black but I had to epoxy it on to my cane to make it fit. You need a very wide base because of the shape of your cane, I think===unless you think your cane is very balanced

it sounds like the grip on it came undone in which case you need to take it apart and re-align the squishy rubber piece lol dont know what it is called but is pretty simple.

You must smack this Quad Pod on a hard surface to seat it into the base of the cane. This item has a tapered insert that comes with an allen wrench to secure it to the bottom of a hollow aluminum cane. It does not come out unless you remove the allen screw.

The Hugo people told me to stand on it and twist, that it would turn then. I did not do that thought, I seems as if that might break it. I did not like several things about this cane and I returned it to Amazon.I purchased a different brand, from Amazon [a Medline.]

Did you loosen up the plate from the left? Maybe one of the screws got stuck and it's not allow the plate to slide. Try something to slide between the plate and adapter after you loosen up using the liver on the side.

Super easy. I did it myself. You pry off the cane tip, press the cane into the Quadpod, use the allen wrench that comes with it, and tighten it. Done!

The rubber tips are removeable. The legs could be shortened and the rubber tips replaced afterwards.

The tip is removable. Maybe uses standard tips. Try calling the manufacturer.

You pull the rubber tip off your cane and slide the quad tip on the cane. It is is very sturdy and adds minimal weight to the cane.

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.
