[Blindtlk] When to Exchange Cane Tips?

[Judy Jones]

The roller tips are great; there are many different kinds.  Advise to keep a 
spare in your purse in the event you need it.

Roller tips last a good long time. I personally wouldn't replace it until 
it's too sharp or so misshapen it's a safety risk. I would say on average 
it's good to replace it once a year just to be safe. Of course tips made of 
different materials last different lengths of time. It also depends on how 
regularly you use your cane. I'm happy to answer further questions if they 
arise.
