Aluminum Mobility Folding White Cane for Vision Impaired and Blind People (Folds Down 6 Sections) (125cm (49.2inch), Blue Handle)

The cane is well built, I got it for light duty use when traveling since the TSA has destroyed a couple of my canes at the airport. They literally took apart an Ambutech graphite and broke it.When you first get this cane, you need to modify it before first use for safety reasons.The elastic is way too long, The links will wobble when using it or a link may come out completely.You need to untie the knot by the handle and take out some of the slack in the cable and tie a new knotYou also need to make a second knot since it has only one knot if you want to use the elastic to keep it folded.The photos shows how I modified it by taking out some of the slack in the cable and tying a second knot.For those using a screen reader, the first image is of the cable with the slack taken out and a new knot tied by the handle and a second knot that was tied near the top of the cable. The second image is that of the cane folded with the elastic around the cane securing it after the modifications.It's definitely not the quality of an Ambutch or Advantage graphite canes (also it doesn't have the $60 price tag of a graphite cane).I would put this cane on par with Ambutech or Revolution aluminum canes. It is definitely better than Europa canes.The cane takes a standard hook tip and can fit an Ambutech jumbo roller ball hook tip with no problem.What is not mentioned in the listing besides the bag It comes with a spare rolling marshmallow tip.An Advantage aluminum cane from the lighthouse costs $35 to $40 in my area or an Advantage graphite costs $60.

A couple of days before taking off for a two weeks trip to Iceland, the tip for my Ambutech cane broke and I was unable to get a replacement in time for my trip. So disappointingly, I ordered this cane since I must have one for mobility. It arrived quickly and I thought it was just as good as my ambutech cane. I rarely leave reviews but since this was a lifesaver for me, I had to come give it a 5 star rating. I was very happy with it and don't even feel the need to order an ambutech

The quality is amazing and for a great price. Delivered quickly,withn a few days of ordering in orange county CA.This is the second time I purchase from this seller. I bought for a blind unlce in Mexico. He added a tennis ball to the end to help prolong the rolling tips life. He has had it for two years and holding up well. We bought another in case his first one ever breaks.After my uncle went blind he claimed to have vissions from god to build a church. He sleeps on the streets voluntarily so he can dedicated the majority of his income to building and maintaining the church - which took him years to complete. So he walked long distances to order materials and encourage others to donate or volunteer labor. He also helps others in need such as taking food to the elderly and sick, all while walking the whole way. The streets in MEX are extremly rough and his cane from this seller has held up beyound what it was probably made for to withstand.I am not religious in any way so I wanted to give you a understanding of what the cane purchased from this seller is like.Thank you!!

This white cane is not nearly as reflective as it should be.I had to apply reflective sign tape to it's segments to make it reflect well enough for traffic to see thee cane at greater distances, at night.The elastic is a bit too short, and it's hard to get a loop around the entire cane. You'll want to put a knot about half way along the existing loop to be able to loop the elastic around the cane to stow it. But, I've had to find some Velcro strip to wrap around the other end of the stowed cane, to stop it flipping out.This cane came with a velvet like bag, but the bag had a very bad smell about it.I suppose you could use that bag, with it's draw strings looped through a belt, to stow the cane in, if you can't use the elastic to stow the cane. Don't know if the bag can be washed, without ruining the velvet surface, or not. Maybe fabric freshener might get rid of the bad smell?You may not be able to track the shipping progress. Mine never showed tracking, even after being delivered.I do like the wider diameter probe on the end of the cane. Should be able to glide over sidewalk cracks without causing the cane to jab you, when it hits a crack, unlike my old cane, with it's narrow probe.By the way, white canes customarily have a red end, and white main body. However, I've learned that red is not as reflective at night. In low lighting, red shows as nearly black, or gray. So I got some red, as well as yellow reflective tape for the probe end of the cane. The reflective tape shows both the red, and yellow much brighter. I used reflective white for the rest of the cane. The difference is like night and day, compared with the cane's existing, not so reflective tape.I was glad to note these canes can be purchased based on your measurement needs. If you're new to cane sizing, just measure from the ground to the arm pit, for advanced users, or from the ground, to your chin, for new users, but you may find one works better than the other for you.

The blind cane is for my husband. Apon receiving it he was thrilled with the it. The cane is easy to assemble and take apart. It looks great. Thank you.

Arrived when expected, in good shape. This folds up nicely, is lightweight, and easy to use.
