We need to cut it down a couple of inches....How do you get the tip off?

I purchased 2 because I need both just to get around. I had my son shorten both sticks and he informs me that he had to use some ingenuity and strength. Try to break the seal between the rubber tip and the varnish with a small probe being careful not to damage the tip. If all that fails, you can just cut the sticks to the desired length and purchase some new tips. The tips are pretty cheep.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

The rubber tip on mine twists right off - but if yours won't twist try carefully heating the rubber a tad with a hair dryer. IF you mean trimming the wood - I used a hack saw, no problem. Mine had grooves at 1.5 and 2.75 inches from the bottom - convenient cutting points.

I bought this because of the high quality and would only attempt to shorten it if I was totally sure I could do it without damaging the cane. I would have it professionally done

We, also, had to cut off a couple of inches, but unfortunately I no longer remember getting the tip off even being an issue. Sorry. My husband still loves this walking stick & the sturdiness of it's construction.

I used a miter saw. Be sure to cut it square and sand to taper the edges to make it easier to fit the rubber tip.You may need to buy a new rubber tip if you can't pry off the exsisting one.

Get the tip of a pointy knife under groove at end and slide away from remote.

1. Grip Phillips head screwdriver tip with your left hand, sort of pinch it into Your skin gently, but firmly at the tips of your fingers. 2. Use your right thumb to press on the blade side safely, pointing it away from you, and pull the end edges apart. (I couldn't get a grip on the little ledge in the middle and have very fragile nails.)

Just pop out the smaller side. Use your finger nail. It gets easier as you use it!

Sorry for late response, was out of town. You can cut this down with an electric knife (but it will dull the knife). It would be hard to do with a scissors.

3/8 of an inch less than the sink outside turn the sink upside down and trace outline then cut 3/8 less than outside line...

Well, I used my sharp fingernails but I think a carpet cutter, used at a slight angle, should do the trick. It's easier to tape one side to a solid surface and then removing the second side. Trying to do both sides while just holding the tape, causes the tape to stick to its self. Good luck, it works great!

Cut a piece of tape off then pick at one of the corners until you can grab the edge and peel off the plastic.

Use a piece of tape on the corner as a tab to pull it off. They come off very easily using this method.

I used this youtube video to figure out how to do it. It's a great video and gives great tips. Main tips to answer your question: Start w/ a nail sized portion, and start working it in at the back... add more later if needed. Good luck! Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Tf6Tp3jTY

Another tool is needed. And i would reccommend getting any and all tools or strippers to make it go easier......I did not, and struggled with stripping them straight......

I had mine custom cut when I ordered it. Be sure that you have it cut the correct height for you personally. Perhaps someone with a saw can cut it for you. Just remove the tip, cut the necessary amount off, replace the tip and you're good to go.

Yeah, Just grab the handle and use a piece of wood and hit it but, be careful the tang is close to 1/2 an inch tall mine hasn't snapped off yet but, someone on YOUTUBE'S broke. phewwwww!

I don't think a coin or spoon would do a very good job scratching off the top layer. You would really need something with a point. A wooden chop stick should work. Those are pretty inexpensive at the big box stores. You could also try a pencil.

Cut yourself. I found the instructions showed a length 1/4" too short. Cut and try ONE 1st for best results.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.
