Thomas Fetterman Tornado SBR (Solid Body Rain) Crutch Tips, Fits Crutch Shafts of 3/4 to 1 inch, Gray, Pair: Thomas Fetterman Tornado SBR (Solid Body Rain) tips do not have our joint protecting Absorbalite Gel molded inside so they are less expensive to make and less expensive for you to buy. However because of their proprietary tread formula, they are highly wet-slip resistant, though not slip proof. Tornado Solid Body Rain Tips are over 300% more wet-slip resistant than any other rubber tips we have tested with the English Wet-Slip Testing Machine. They can greatly reduce the number and severity of crutch related falls caused by wet smooth surfaces. If they keep you from falling just once, wouldn't they be worth the extra cost? Because there is no Absorbalite gel inside, the Tornado SBR will not protect your shoulders like it's famous big brother Tornado RT (Rain Tips with Absorbalite.) However, unlike ordinary tips, our steel disk can not be ejected through the side wall of the tip and cause premature failure. The addition of the Rain Tip will only increase the height of the tip by 3/16". These tips out-wear ordinary tips 3-5 times over. Tornado SBR tips have a 2" base diameter and weigh 4.6 ounces each. They fit crutch shafts from 3/4" to 1". Gray.
