Ez2care Adjustable Folding Cane with Carrying Case, Black

I purchased two of these canes via Amazon, one for my son who was recovering from a serious knee injury and one for myself, because I find one helpful from time to time because I am occasionally troubled by a past injury.I was so impressed with the quality and value of the Ez2care that I immediately ordered two more for two of my friends.Here's what impressed me:1. The mechanism works smothly and securely.2. The carrying case and velcro strap provide a good way to keep the cane out of the way when it's not in use.3. The grip is quite comfortable.4. The tip is of good quality.5. My experience with it is short, but it looks as if it will hold up and give good service for a long time.6. The price is outstandingly reasonable.Here are some other comments:1. While the cane deploys easily, and does it with a flourish that would befit James Bond, it takes a fair bit of effort, dexterity, and concentration to fold it up again and get it back in its bag.2. It adjusts to accomodate the user's height, but I have mine at its maximum length, and I'm only 5ft. 10in. A taller person might not be able to extend it to the optimal length.3. The instructions that came with the cane tell you to use the cane on the same side of the body as your injured extremity. My physical therapist told me the opposite. I'll follow her advice. That seems to work better for me.Bottom line: The Ez2care Cane is a good value! I quickly became a repeat customer.

Ez2care Adjustable Folding Cane with Carrying Case, Black My wife got this nice-looking cane from Comfytopia. This is her first cane, and she doesn't need it all the time. She got the folding one so that she could keep it with her for when she does need it. Even though the cane folds up small enough to fit in her purse, it is sturdy, and she feels secure putting her weight on it. All the pieces of the cane fit inside each other and then they lock down with a screw fitting collar at the top. The cane fits in it's own pouch, which is also very nice, by the way. Other canes she looked at only had holsters. The pouch is nice enough to carry by itself if you are a man and don't carry a purse. The pouch also keeps the cane out of the way so people don't trip over it, and it never gets left behind. We're going to take it with us on a cruise, so it will get a workout on the 900 foot ship. Finally, the cane adjusts to a low height for my wife, who is only 5'1'. All in all, it is the perfect cane for her, and we enjoyed the quick service we got from Comfytopia.

I am recovering from lumbar surgery and currently need some extra support when walking. I purchased this cane to have something more compact and stylish than the plainly utilitarian shiny aluminum adjustable (but not foldable) cane we've had around here for years. This one was less expensive than several others and received pretty good reviews, so I took a chance on it. We just returned from a two week Danube river cruise that included quite a few walking tours which gave it a real workout.First off, this is exactly as represented: a fairly sturdy walking cane, composed of four sections of aluminum tubing, that folds up compactly for carrying or storage when not in use. An elastic cord running the length of the interior keeps all the parts together when the cane sections are separated, similar to the system used for many backpacking tent poles. A hook-and-loop strip can be used to tie the folded sections together to keep it compact. I often would fold it into two or three sections to make it easier to deal with while seated and I have not suffered the cord separation a few others have reported.Due to its construction with the tapered top of each section fitting into the untapered bottom of the section above it, there is no danger of the sections coming apart or buckling when weight is applied. In fact applying weight just makes each joint tighter and more secure. There is a little give in some of the joints, but the cane is it far from wobbly and easily provides the support I need for my 250+ lb frame.The length adjustment is all contained in the top section, which telescopes in 1" increments. As I have an unusually long torso, I'd like it better if it would go 1" longer than its 37" maximum, but this seems to fit in with the standard length of most adjustable canes I've found. For maximum stability, be sure to securely tighten the threaded collar at the bottom of the adjustable section once you've set it to your chosen length.The cane must be set at its minimum length, or near to it, to fit into the carrying bag. This is not a big issue for me, as I seldom have need to store it in the bag, but this could be an issue for users who adjust to something longer than the minimum length and wish use the bag for frequent storage in a purse or other tote, as they would have to readjust the height every time they put it in or out of the bag.The top of each of the bottom three sections is fitted with a polymeric grommet through which the elastic cord passes. After only a few uses, the grommet on the bottom section separated and became stuck inside the mating tube of the section above it. That has made this joint very hard to separate when wanting to fold the cane. With the extensive use given on our cruise the last couple of weeks, the same thing has happened in the other sections, but they are still coming apart fairly easily.The contoured handle fits my hand well and remained comfortable even over some extensive walking tours of several mile duration over cobblestones and steps. The black paint HAS gotten a bit dinged up revealing a lighter color underneath, but it is easily touched up with a black permanent marker.All in all, I am quite pleased with this cane. I deducted one star due to the need to readjust the length to use the storage bag, and for the grommets coming loose.

I just received this cane. Immediately upon taking it out of the little bag and opening it up, which was very easy, within a minute or so the paint on the handle started peeling off around the gold ring. I tried using it to walk, and I heard a little metal on metal rattle. Upon examining it, I found it was the area with the buttons for adjusting the height. I adjusted it to the 2nd hole, just to see if it would stop the slight rattling, and altho it was easy to adjust the button, it continued to rattle even after I tightened the adjustment ring. I am not sure whether or not the rattling is a sign that it is not sturdy and could break with use. Because of the rattle and the paint coming off the handle, I am giving it 3 stars. I can't say how durable it will be. It seems fairly sturdy considering the fact that it is in pieces. It does snap open very easily and is rather easy to close up again. The little carrying case is nice, as is the strap around the handle so you could put that around your wrist to prevent dropping the cane. I have seen more expensive folding canes that do not rattle and that have a better quality paint job on the handle. I think the paint on this one will continue to peel off until it is unsightly. I will think about keeping it. I mostly need it for balance not support at this stage and it was inexpensive. I am 5' 8" tall, and the height seems fine for me. I will give an update after I have considered everything.

Got it for my europe trip but did not use its nice i like it come with a case and I can fit it in my luggage nicely
