Hello Carol,

It maY be a bit late in this thread but it's common for some canes, e.g. 
AmbuteCH, to stick when new. It's because they have no wear and tear to 
slacken them off until used for a few weeks. What I find easiest and most 
effective is to simply sharply tap the cane in your palm or on the floor at 
the end of   one section a few times whilst holding the other section 
firmly.

HTh,
john.

Subject: [access-uk] LONG CANE PROBLEM


Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has purchased a folding long cane within the past 
couple of months and had a problem with the fold mechanism in that, after 
use, the sections that fold just don't undo! Well, I've managed by screwing 
each part in different directions but now just can't do one section at all 
so the cane has become more of an encumbrance in that it will not fold down, 
even with brute force!

Anyone got any advice to solve this problem without returning to the RNIB?
