Customer Reviews of Telescopic Walking Stick
Customer Review: You can't beat 'em with a stick!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased TWO of those because I need extra `support' to keep my spine upright and so that my movements are balanced side to side. I decided to go "cheap" initially to see if the concept was a good one or not. These walking sticks are of a much better quality than expectation based on the price.
There is a compass in the handle, which was not mentioned. Maybe it is so tiny that no one noticed it before! By having 2 of the sticks at the same time I could compare the compasses. They were not identical, one was easier to read. They did not agree with the actual directions as I know them at our farm, and they did not agree with each other. So, leave your magnifying glasses at home and take a real compass along if you need one.
The loop handle has a buckle for length adjustment that allowes the loop to be separated and would allow you to use it to hold a key ring, (a compass), or other small items. In the photo you can't really tell, but there is a "screw-on snow disc" and the rubber tip is removable to reveal a small diameter metal tip. I intend to use these on a gravel road and the pointed metal tip is the best choice for that. However, I also have the snow discs installed because they will help keep the sticks from "sinking in" too far if I hit cracks, small holes, or soft spots in the road surface.The snow dics will also keep the stick from sinking down in a grassy surface. I will reserve the rubber tips for use inside buildings and on smooth concrete surfaces.
There was no maximum length dimension given in the description, but when I contacted JOBAR (the importer) they state that it is 53'. I found these sticks difficult to adjust and lock in the adjustment. At 45" they seem stable enough to trust that they won't bend or collapse. Because of the difficulty of adjusting and locking them, I would not recommend "knocking them down" after each use and having to adjust them again for the next use. Therefore, I can't recommend these for travel where you would knock them down repeatedly to put them in a suitcase. For that purpose I would recommend a more expensive stick, possibly with a different locking mechanism other than friction.
Overall, I found them to be a bang for my buck. I think these would make excellent hiking poles for children and shorter adults (5'8" max). The rubber handles are ergonomic and soft for comfort when in use. The shock absorber feature is nice when using the stick on a hard surface.
Thanks for the opportunity to share this information. I hope it is helpful for someone considering this item.
