Slowly insert something like a flat screwdriver and wiggle the screwdriver until the original tip edges off.

Hi Hugo , thank yo for your inquiry , it is against the law to remove the orange tip and it will also void any warranty the the gun may have !thanksPhil

The first thing I do is pull the clip off as it is really uncomfortable in my hand. The only solution I could think of is glue or epoxy if you're desperate. The barrel separates easily which can be a problem but I've never figured out what to do about it. I just deal.

I didn't need to, I had purchased a Cold Steel Blackthorn Walking stick, which didn't come with a tip. However, I've removed this tip once, just by holding it firmly and giving it a good twist. It was fairly easy to remove with some firm twisting and pulling. I've no idea how to remove a more permanently mounted tip, as I didn't know that existed.

I can't be of much help...my daughter said that she just took the cap off with no problem and used it. She has since lost the marker, so I can't check it out for you. Maybe you got a bum marker? Sorry!

one would need to measure it exactly and saw off the length and re-attach the rubber tip...that is probably the drawback, everything else about that cane is wonderful....comfortable, sturdy and looks good.

it will be more stable but the base may be to small for the cane to stand upon it's own. I used this:Hugo Mobility Quadpod Ultra Stable Cane Tip with Compact Quad Design, 3/4 Inches, Black but I had to epoxy it on to my cane to make it fit. You need a very wide base because of the shape of your cane, I think===unless you think your cane is very balanced

I checked, but unfortunately, I can't easily measure the diameter without taking off the tip, and then putting it back on, which isn't easy, because it is a tight fit. Their website is superiorcanetip_com and their phone is 1-888-692-2638. Either of these sources should have your answer. Good luck, it's a great cane tip and my wife likes it a lot.

Agree with other comment (except its QTY 6 to a bag). When your done using it just leave the tip on, it seals itself & when your ready to use it again, just throw THAT tip away & put on another.

No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

I just bought this item and, after a couple hours of trying, wasn't able to fit it onto my Hugo folding cane. It's hard to describe, but the elastic that enables this cane to fold has a plastic tip attached to it (which is underneath the large rubber tip on most canes) and this plastic tip will not fit properly into the "Qhadpod" tip. Anyway, if you haven't already purchased this item don't. It seems like it will work perfectly on non-folding canes though and is a really great idea.

I don't think the Hugo's handle is any better than most canes. I happen to be in rehab for a hip replacement and I saw a gentleman with a cane fiitted with an armrest plus handle so he had support on his forearms not just the hand. He also had RA. You may need to do some research to find that. Just wanted to let you know they exist.

Amazon carries a replacement handle sold by the same company as the cane. It has good reviews although it might be a little difficult to put on. The reviews recommend using a little liquid soap and water and it will go on snugly. It doesn't specify the exact models it can be used on, but it says it can be used on quad canes. It is the Mabis Dmi Healthcare Offset Foam Hand Grip Replacement, Black, One. I hope this helps.

I presume you mean that you purchased a quad pod tip and that you want to put it on a cane your husband already owns. The quad pod tip, according to the Amazon website, is 3/4 in. If the cane is designed for a 3/4 in. tip, there should be no problem.

I would simply call whomever you ordered them from and tell them that one of the canes is defective and you want them to exchange it for a new non-defective one. I have used my Hugo quadpod cane for over a year now and it is my favorite cane. Yes, it does not always stand by itself when on carpet or on non-level floors but from the reviews I have read, none of them do so. I would not want the cane to be any heavier or else it would be too heavy for me to use all the time. I like mine so much that when my aunt was told by her doctor that she must start using a cane I bought one for her. I had my aunt try out all of my canes and she also preferred the Hugo Quadpod.

Actually it's pretty easy. All you have to do is unscrew either the tip, or the part that's above the clip. I recommend just unscrewing the tip because it's easier.

Hello! There is a little tab at the top of the carpule of gel. Holding carpule in right hand, grasp the little tap and twist to the left, then lift off. Now, place the tip at the same angle on top of the carpule, twist into place and remove the little cap at the very tip. You are ready to go!
