Ferrules, collars
etc.
When ordering ferrules it should be
remembered that rubber ferrules will stretch and that metal
ferrules should have the end of the stick tapered slightly,
so always choose a ferrule slightly smaller than the
diameter of your stick.

Rubber
ferrules
Several sizes to fit most
sticks. These are "bell" shaped with good grips on the base
and a metal washer inside to stop the stick wearing through
quickly.
Type quantity for each
size in the box then click "Add to Cart" button.

Orthopaedic
Ferrules (Also
called crutch pads).
Hard wearing and good grip
on most surfaces - broad base gives extra steadiness if you
are a bit "wobbly" on your feet!
1-9 for £2.00
each
10
or more at just £1.75
each

We don't guarantee any particular sizes or number of each in
the packs (that's why they're mixed!) but generally sizes 10
to 14. If you want to specify sizes you will need to order
individual ferrules.

STEEL-TIPPED
FERRULES
(Brass with flat steel
plate welded to base). These
are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain in some sizes
and it may be that they will eventually disappear
altogether! The manufacturer has ceased making new
ferrules!
Lacquered finish that
gives them a grey/brown colour. This can be rubbed off with
steel wool and/or metal polish to reveal bright brass.
Taper the end of the stick
to get a tight fit and secure with epoxy or pins - or use
the traditional way of crimping the rim two or three times
with a sharp nail and hammer.
Diameter measured in
sixteenths-of-an-inch, so No 8 = half inch,
No 12 = three quarter inch,
No 16 = one inch etc.
Price each: £2.00 Shopping
Cart will give discount for 10 or more of a
size.
