Tornado Rain Cane & Crutch Tips, Fits Shafts of 3/4 to 1 Inch, Black, Pair

These are my favorite crutch tip. I have used them for 15+ years and keep returning as they wear out (eventually the rain top wears thin, usually every two years for me). I am disabled from a car accident and have used regular (after surgeries) or forearm crutches (mostly) since then. I have used these on all my crutches and am very happy with the cushioning, slip resistance, and durability. My arms and shoulders love having less jarring to deal with (solid tips are tough on them as there is no cushioning). I saw one review that said theirs came apart but that has not been my experience at all and my crutches go everywhere -- sand, rocks, mud, rain, snow, trails, asphalt, old lava plains, etc. I could get longer wear without the rain tip but I need that. If you are dealing with snow & ice then get yourself some ice tips but other than that I consider these all terrain. I could not be happier with these. They are more expensive but worth the cost. The tornado tip is also a great invention! Having crutches tips that move with you is a game changer. They flex slightly as you move through your stride and give a more secure feel (your crutch won’t slide as some rubber tips do) if that makes sense. These have been all over the world with me as I do not let my disability stop me from traveling and exploring. These tips help in that regard as they feel more secure. I encourage you to give them a try.

I've been using the Medline brand 7/8 inch for my forearm crutches, but they've been just a little big. So I've been putting duct tape around my crutches to make them stay. These tips fit my crutches perfectly. Yes, they are expensive but so worth it.

I use this with the Nova heavy duty cane. While both are heavier than a standard cane and tip, it offers me stability and comfort with walking and using staircases The bottom of the tip shows hardly any wear after 3 months. In the rain and slushy surfaces, it is pretty slip resistant. At over $60 for 2 tips, it costs more than most tips. But if it saves me from a fall, then it's worth it. Also Made in the USA!

Buying them for 12 years. Recent pairs have started to come apart. Whatever they used to put on the last layer. No longer holds like it used to. It’s like they almost come unglued.The quality is definitely not the same.

If you have bad wrists or some autoimmune disease that makes your wrists pop out of place, don’t get this. While it does help with forearm crutch fatigue, I will say it does add more stress onto the wrists!!

Been using Fetterman's Tornado gel rain crutch tips for years! Makes my crutches more stable, almost non-slip! (grit, paper, debris, oil on hard surface will make even non handicapped slip) And they are much longer lasting than the drugstore brands! Can't imagine using any other tips! Absolutely worth the price for comfort, stability and not needing to replace tips every few weeks! (I get about 18 months of use. Daily 1-4 miles on city sidewalks plus around home.)

I'm on crutches for at least 6 weeks. And it rains a lot in Louisiana. The first week with the standard tips, I had trouble making it out of our house because the carport is glazed and it was wet. The tips of the crutches would not grip and it was terrifying. I got online, did some research and decided to try these. They make an immediate difference! I have used them in the carport when the ground was wet. Outside on multiple surfaces. And in 2 restaurants, one with a floor that had just been cleaned -- my shoes were sliding on that floor but NOT the crutches. So thankful I found these. They are making getting around much safer. Worth the cost.

My husband has been on crutches since 2003. He’s always used the standard crutch tips - the kind that he goes through every 2-4 weeks. They slip, they slide, they are a safety issue. Then a lady told him about these crutch tips when we were grocery shopping. I immediately looked for them. I’m not going to lie - the price was a huge turn off. But my husband needed a better option so I bought one set. (In case he hated them.) Not only does he love them, but he’s safer on them. They are heavier than the standard tips but they offer more stability, slip resistance and a longer life. They are constructed well - I’m interested to see how long they last!
