Mine just turned by hand! Grabbed pipe in one hand, foot in other and it turned! Not so easy as to change when I walk, but not hard either. I figured the hex head held it on and has thread locking compound, so I did not even try it. Your idea is right on: I much prefer mine switched 90 degrees as well. I don't need a cane that I position, step, position, step with the cane stopping each time. My cane flows smoothly synched with my left knee, never really stopping. I hope this helps.

Try turning the set screw to the left. It may be a left-hand thread. Otherwise spray it screw with a small amount of WD40 or similar lubricant. You should be able to reposition the foot without a wrench. Check the accompaning document and/or call HUGO

Hi, Well there are two ways I have used. Spray some WD40 around the top of the old tip then try to turn the tip with some pliers and wiggle it off. (If you do not have WD40 try 3in1 oil or baby oil). If it still does not give, soak the rubber tip in VERY HOT soapy water and with pliers, wiggle. The last resort is to cut the old tip off (with a box cutter or with a small hand drill using the small circular bit. Good luck!

Loosen the nut close to the handle, pliers will be needed. The tip will slide off. Do not tighten very much.

Tilt one end down a little. Adjust it to al little longer than needed and push it up to where you want it. You might have to pound it up with your hand to the spot needed.

Yes, must be stuck. Try some "Liquid Wrench" or "WD-40." They must have put the rivet in too tight.

I would use a socket wrench. The supplied wrench did not have enough torch.

try "jiggling" the bottom metal piece while you're tightening it. also, hand-tightening is not enough...you should be using a wrench or ratchet

I would take the screws you have to a hardware store and ask for a definitive answer as to whether the Allen wrench will work on those screws.

Just pull it forward (neither upward or downward). Takes a bit of back and forth. Maybe place a flat screwdriver and wedge it forward gently.

A correctly sized wrench should do the job, you will have to remove the handle first I believe.

Might have to use a longer allen wrench. Then the one that come with it. I grabbed mine with a pair of pliers. I have a bad wrist tho.

Have a helper available when you start to hold things together while you put bolts and screws in, then just use youh common sense to overcome the lousy directions. There's no magic, just patience.

So after contacting mount-it customer support and trying. The hex bit that is in the part that lifts the arm needed to be tightened counter-clockwise. (not clockwise) and it just keeps tightening and doesn't seem to stop. Also there were parts on there that looked like you could put a quarter on and turn it but that was not the case. Anyway the arm lifting part nut turned counter-clockwise a lot. seems to stiffen the thing and give me more control. Im ight keep it now.

The "tip" if you will is basically a quick (dis)connect attachment for the tips that came with it. Put that on and use the allen screws built into it to tighten it really good. Then you just grab it and slide it down towards the hammer itself, which allows you to insert the tips, then let go and they should be locked in. They won't be locked in tight, because otherwise the hammer isn't able to do it's job and move them, but you should be unable to pull them back out without sliding down the collar again.

Make sure that the toggle between tightening and loosening is pushed all the way to one side or the other. If its in the middle it will not do anything.

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

Replace it through the tip - plastic end first, while holding in the other end. It should slide right in.
