First, if it is the same as mine, the product does not take 'AA' batteries. If you unscrew the light you will find a 'flat' type battery behind the bulb. I do not like, or use, the light. Consequently, I reverse the battery so that the light won't accidently come on - which, prior to reversing the battery, it did a lot. Hope this helps.

The battery can be replaced by unscrewing the top(flashlight) counter clockwise until it comes off the stick. Look at the top of the stick, not the light and you will see a standard LR44 button battery. I use a dental pick to flick the battery out. Replace and screw the flashlight head back on the stick.

No instructions. Pole is pretty simple and straight forward. Twist to lock/unlock the poles expanding ability. There's a small plastic piece you can put at the tip to improve your grip when hiking. Compass on the wrist strip. That's about it

Yeah, it can be a bit stiff to unscrew, therefore making it less obvious. The tailcap is only the last few millimeters, so grip only that part. I needed a pliers with a towel around them (to prevent toolmarks) when my batteries *finally* died. I also had a little trouble figuring out where exactly to unscrew, so you're not alone.

On the ear that does not have the aerial there is a black tab about 1 inch by 2.5 inches with the word Stanley on it. There should be a black screw at the top of the tab that unscrews. Unscrew this, takes a minute or two, until the black tab can be moved and the batteries are underneath. Let me know if that works or not. Bob

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

Hello Phyllis,I was wondering if the tips fit your poles? Just wanted to let you know Cabala's has a great deal on Trekker Poles for $6.99 and shipping. I love mine and ordered 4 more for $37 shipped. My wife and I both beat cancer almost 5 years ago and continue to hike almost every day. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Trekker-Hiking-Staff/714512.uts?rid=11

Been a year or so..as I recall it is tape..that is not the problem. The problem I have is the chrome blistered off the badge leaving an ugly peeling chrome look...The seller sent me new badge and stated he was going to go with another type. If you do go with this be sure to use only dental floss for removal as I thought fishing line would work..but fishing line left scratches in the paint I did not notice until I was done. Triple the dental floss together one strand will just bust, and there is also pins on the original badge backside that go into the body of the car. So overall it was a pain...

Is it a matter of replacing a battery or bulb? Otherwise, I think you'll have to call the company. I cannot find my stick right at this moment (I have a couple of different ones) and so I can't check if it's even possible to replace those parts. I imagine the company would replace the whole stick for you - if the light just doesn't work.

Hi! I'm with Blackfire: here's their official FAQ:Use 3 AAA batteries. Press the green tab found recessed inside the handle below the swivel head. It is pushed down towards the feet and in and may be a little hard the first few times you do it. The green battery cover comes off. Follow the polarity instructions printed inside the battery compartment. To close first insert the tab in at the bottom and then press the cover shut.~Sean

Here's a tip from a user that successfully replaced the battery for this unit.MediaBaron says:I had one of the older non-replaceable battery models. I was able to carefully tap a razor blade around the seam to separate the top and bottom half, replaced the batteries and put it back together using a hot glue gun so it could be easily be taken apart again. This far from an approved process but if you're going to throw it away anyway give it a shot. I gave it away to someone who's wife was going through chemo and bought the model with the replaceable battery before they were discontinued. It wasn't pretty after the hot glue but it worked.

So I'm a stickler for holding onto receipts and warranties, and I have looked through everything and cannot find either!! I did find the box it was shipped in and the box the knive came in and they say nothing. The knive also comes in an "Altoid" style tin and that says: CRKT RITTER RSK Mk5 on the top, and on the bottom says: Model 2380 RSK Mk5. I doubt that is very helpful, maybe you could contact them directly @ crkt.com and ask them to clarify. Sorry I couldn't answer that for you. It is a great little knife. I got it specifically because it fits in an Altoids tin for my emergency kit. Way better than a pocket knife and you can wrap the handle with paracord for some grip. Good luck

First...assuming you are using the 8-AA battery box...once the grip is attached, remove the battery slide and than reattach. You will know it is working if you look on the display on the camera. Directly right of the icon that shows the remaining battery life it will have the letters BP which indicates the power is coming from the battery grip. Also in the camera setup menu go to the option that lets you choose if you want the power to first come from the camera or battery grip...select the battery grip. If you are talking about not able to use the release button on the grip...make sure you rotate the switch next to it so the indicator points to the white dot which selects the grip controls. Finally...do you have the stock battery in the camera plus the one in the grip? If all else still doesn't work....remove the grip and reattach...perhaps the contacts are dirty or defective. It should work...mine works perfectly and is a cheap replacement for the Nikon unit that is identical in performance and looks. Last thing...if all else fails you may have a bad one so return it.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything.The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now.Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

It is not a typical tip, I think. It is black "rubber", but has a small phillips screw holding it to the metal cane. The very tip of the cane's rubber tip is larger than a nickel, but then it widens out, to make a wider tip, then narrows in again, snuggly to the cane itself. A replacement tip would look different, but might work, if original ever wore out. I have not used mine enough to need to replace tip. You could take cane to store that sells tips, and eye-ball which size would be most likely a good fit?? The side support "canes" for the seat, have slanted tips, so they sit flat when the chair is opened out. When closed, those slanted tips are shorter than the main cane, so you are not walking with all the tips hitting the ground at the same time. Just the main cane is hitting the ground when you walk around. Hope this helps.

It's a convex scandi so it may be a little more complicated than that. I've seen many methods but one that works is the old sand paper and mouse pad trick to really keep that convex edge. I have touched it up on a spyderco sharpmaker and it really brought It back to life. I only have it a few strokes though. Nothing major

Looks like Makita...ask the seller(through ebay) if it says 'Makita' anywhere on the battery. That obligates him to give you a honest answer and it will be recorded through your ebay messages if you have to return it, because it's not Makita. The way he's worded his auction, it should be Makita.

It is new but a Chinese clone. Works same as Nikon grips I do own but lots cheaper, but it does have one small problem. If you use other than Nikon brand batteries The camera will think the battery is dead. This can be worked around by putting the Nikon battery in the grip and the "other" brand in the camera. I have no idea why this does this but I understand it is a common problem. Other than that, works the same as my Nikon grips. One other thing is the Nikon grips have a lot of metal in them therefore stronger and cost more. I would buy another if I needed to replace it because it broke. It is new but a Chinese clone.
