That is not the case with this one. He is unable to change the tip because he is unable to stop. It's also supposed to stretch out and stay that way. It doesn't because the small screw you tighten isn't holding anything in place. It appears to be a bit of a bargain.
My quadriplegic cousin uses this as his only implement holder. We only buy them as gifts for him because they're more expensive. He claims, however, that they are well worth the money. Other mouth sticks have been tried, but this is the only telescopic one that maintains its shape while in use – All of the others bend or break at the point of connection. I would recommend it to people who have disabilities.
Thank you to a good friend for making this possible, and I wish you all the best. What a wonderful birthday gift, good looking out. I can type like I've never typed before, which could save money. COME DOWN ON COST, DISABLED COMMUNITY ON FIXED INCOME, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COMPANIES SHOULD CONSIDER.
They are not of the same caliber as they once were. The first order of sticks was broken in half. The screw mechanism would not stay in place when we received the replacement. These mouthsticks used to last "forever" in the past. That is no longer the case. I'll have to come up with something else for my son to play with now.
Set it to the desired length and secure it with a tap on the shaft.
This is what arrived in the mail, on time, but only one mouth stick, two silicone teeth pads, and one extra tip were included in the box. Based on the price and the picture of 5 mouthsticks, this was not at all what I expected. Is it possible for the seller to provide an explanation or make a correction? I haven't opened the package yet, but it appears to be a high-quality item, though there aren't as many as I had anticipated.
THE FIRST ONE BROKE Almost Immediately, I RECEIVED A FREE REPLACEMENT, AND THE SECOND ONE'S CONNECTION IS SO LOOSE, YOU CANNOT EVEN USE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE A TOY AND IS NOT AT ALL STURDY. THE PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR SUCH A LOW-QUALITY PRODUCT. I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THIS ONE, BUT THE SELLER SAYS I MUST PAY FOR SHIPPING. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN. AND YES, I AM RETURNING IT!.
