How do you stop a metal walking stick from clicking?
Most of our metal adjustable walking sticks have a tightening nut at the bottom of the first section. This nut has a washer inside, so please make sure this is screwed tight and this will stop the sections clicking together. Also remember to check the wear on the rubber ferrule as soon as you see the metal ring on the base you need to replace the rubber foot.
How do I fit a wrist cord?
Most standard wrist cords have an elastic loop. Just twist and pull the rubber ferrule off the bottom of your stick and slide the loop up the shaft to sit just below the handle, remember to replace the rubber ferrule.
