[BlindTlk] [BlTlk] [BlTlk] changing cane tips

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Sherri,

Yep, this is the way Chris' is. The trick is, too, leaving enough slack elastic, holding it in place, until you can change the tip.

I learned that lesson the hard way, and ended up making hook out of a coat hanger to catch the runaway elastic and pull it back into place again.

Judy, I once had an Amtec cane, which I by the way did not like, because it
was so heavy.  Anyway, mine had the hook tip.  You had to bring the string
out and then hook the tip onto it and then the string would retract back
into the cane.  Hope this helps.

Hi, Madison,
Are the tpps slip-on or hook tips you will be replacing?

Hi all,
Okay, I just ordered my new Ambutech cane and I know that I'm going to want
to change the tip on it so can anyone tell me how do I change a cane tip? My
new cane comes with the pencil tip and I already have the rolling ball tip
so I'd like to be able to change it and then put the pencil tip on my old
cane as the rolling ball tip that's on it now is all flat so it doesn't work
very well any more. I've never had to do this before; as the lady who taught
me how to use a cane always did it for me but she's retired; at least I have
sighted assistance.
Really hope someone can help me as I'd really hate to mess this up. Thanks
Madison
