[nfb-talk] Help with canes

[Tom Cramer]

        Hi,

I have a problem with telescoping canes.
Right now, I'm finding that these are a good thing for me to have because 
they're a lot less troublesome and can be handled easier than other canes 
I've seen.
However, I need to know the best way to fix some broken ones.  I have a few 
that broke but I kept pieces of them that still work.  I have enough to make 
a new good cane except for the fact that the end part has that screw for the 
tip.  I have no idea how to take that screw off without affecting that last 
part.  I don't think those take rainshine tips well either.
I don't have many tools so am not sure how to do this.
If the screw does come off, then how do I screw this back in because from 
what I see it's not a regular screw.
I need a good dependable cane though.
