Cane Frustration (self.Blind)
submitted 9y ago by clandestinewarrior
So recently I observed that the tips of my canes are wearing out. It's been a while since I had new tips, so I decided to look into getting some new ones, the only problem is that the kind of cane I have is not made anymore, or maybe the kind of tip isn't manufactured anymore.
I'm now considering getting a new cane, and it appears that the main producer is Ambutech. What do you think of Ambutech canes? I've read the tips screw on which seems pretty cool.

I like Ambutech because their cane have a hook tips that can be easily changed out. There is also a company called Revolution that sells graphite canes that are light weight. Revolution canes have a few common tips to choose from. For longevity I prefer Ambutech Ultralite hook tip canes with a ceramic tip.

I've only ever seen Ambutech and NFB canes. The NFB canes have the advantage of being lighter, but they don't fold, and the disc tip tends to get jammed in sidewalk cracks. The Ambutech canes are relatively heavy, but sturdy, and present many different choices for cane tips.
