How do you shorten it?

I bought my Lucite Cane and of course it was too tall for me also. I had my son-in-law cut it down with his high powered electric saw... It worked extremely well. Make sure to mark exactly where you want it cut and it can be done. Then put the tip on and you're ready to go. I love my cane and use it all the time especially when I "get dressed up"... I wish you the best.

Cane can be shortened. Remove the rubber tip and shorten from the bottom, replace tip. Lucite can cut with a hacksaw. Measure twice, cut once.

Edith,I took a hacksaw and cut off 2 1/2 inches. I use a 34 1/2 inch cane. It was easy as pie. If you know someone with a band saw, it would make it easier. I love the cane. It is one of my favorites to use. It makes a statement without drawing too much attention to you.Steve

Remove the bottom rubber pad. Then saw off the amount you want. Replace rubber tip. Remember, measure twice, cut once.

You need to find someone/someplace that has a cutting blade for lucite, perhaps a window (glass replacement) shop or a place that cuts mirrors to specifications? We just happened to know someone who cuts this kind of thing for display fish/reptile tanks. Good luck as the the three people I know who have them think they're great.

you can take it to a hardware store, car mechanic, etc. someone that has saw/cutting equipment and take bottom tip off, measure correctly cut it to size and replace the cane tip and wahlah it is done, remember measure twice and cut once.....my grandchildren call the lucite cane my "fairy godmother wand"....

Hello, Edith,I read another that said you had to take it somewhere that they could actually cut it, then put the rubber foot back on. Fortunately, Mother's was just the right height for her. I would suggest getting a wrist band as well, because it is easy to forget you have it and let it fall. Apparently they can break. I'm sending one today, and it was @4.00. Good luck! It is very classy if you don't lose it!

You may be able to get it shortened at a glass place...otherwise it's just one length. I am 5'6" and it works fine for me.

I didn't have to shorten it, but the directions from the manufacturer says it can be cut. I would think an electric saw would work.

Take the rubber tip off the bottom and cut it to length you want. Put the rubber tip back on. I have done this for three canes --each is cut to the height I want depending on the heels of the shoes I am wearing when I use it.

Don't have it anymore. Don't recall it be anything longer than the usual. Sorry

No - I bought the 72" version and I don't see how you would be able to shorten it. Each end has some hardware in it and it would be very difficult / impossible to cleanly remove it then cut the whole thing to be 66".

Hey it can be as short as you want it has the adjustments, so it can be up to like 8-10ft from prob like 3ft-10ft

No, it does not appear to be capable of being shortened due to the recoil pad. I wish I would of thought about that. I need a inch shorten due to cold winter gear I have on during hunting.

These items consist of two end connectors with about six inches long of wire between. To shorten it you would need to unsolder one of the end connectors, cut the wire and re-solder it. It might be easier to just make a tidy loop in the wire. Or cut off one of the end connectors and solder the wires directly to the PCB strip.

No, sadly you can't. :( it's also a lot shorter than you think it is. It was hard to put together at one point because some peices were just inches off than what they were supposed to be.

Yes you could shorten the legs by cutting a few inches off either top or bottom.

Cut it a bit shorter than usual and use slightly stiffer dough. Use lots of semolina as you cut it.

I believe it is quite short (I can't check it now), but it is easy to use an extension cord. That's what I did.

You can use as much or a little chain as you want, including not using any at all (although that might look a little odd). To shorten the chain, you just need to bend one of the links and remove the rest. The wire can be easily cut to what ever length you wish and stripped for wiring to a switch/plug/box.

It is slightly shorter, not by much though. I tossed my old standard one long ago so, I can't measure the difference. Sorry.

Yes if one is careful not to damage the grips while removing. Yes they can be shorten. need to remove grips & cutoff what is not needed & reinstall grips. I found soaking them in warm water will help remove & installing them.

I do not see an easy way of either shortening or extending, unless you have some small jumprings available, looks like these are all sealed. But w/ some 2mm jumprins, I thin would be easy if you had a way to cut a link out.

Unfortunately, mine is at my vacation house, so I can't check it in person. I haven't had it that long (only used once so far) but I don't believe it can be shortened. Hopefully someone else will respond who can tell you definitively.

There is. O way to make it shorter unless you tKe to someone who knows how to cut lucite.
