Black Diamond Flex Tip

They fit perfectly onto Costco's Cascade mountain tech trekking poles. After removing the old destroyed tips, the new ones can be friction fit on. I tested them on granite inclines and they provided good grip onto the rock and gravel surfaces. They also fit the original accessories such as the mud/sand baskets.The durability of the (im assuming) carbide tips and the plastic sections are yet to be determined. If they ever fail during a trip, I will be sure to angrily update.

I use these on my Z trekking poles for replacements. Easy to remove your worn or damaged ones by boiling water in a pot and holding pole for 2-3 mins. Then take a wrench and knock off the old tips. Super easy! These go on well and stamp down hard on a surface a few times. You can then put your small basket or snow basket onto the tips. I've purchased many replacements as I use my poles OFTEN!!!

These BD tips will fit just about any brand trekking pole with removable tips, and are about 1/3 the cost of Lekis. The trick is getting the used ones off. Some pre-heat them in boiling water, but have always found that slipping a crescent wrench - or a pair or pliers - opened just slightly wider than the diameter of the pole, and then slamming it (gently) against the old tip. It may take several whacks, but it will pop off. Put the new one one, place the pole vertically upside down on the ground, and place a small block of wood over the new tip and tap it several times. If I used a crescent wrench to take it off, I'll use it. Otherwise, I'll use a small hammer. The new tip is carbide, and it's brittle, so don't risk the integrity of the tip by striking the tip with a piece of metal or a rock.

The boiling water trick was perfect for getting the old ones off. The new ones went on perfectly.They appear identical to new tips that came with my poles.Incidentally, I had to do this because one of my carbide tips came off, and I need to use the poles for two significant forays into the Colorado mountains. Thus, the plastic wore down badly without the tip. Again, these are a great replacement so far.

I'll never have to buy new hiking poles again! (unless I happen to leave them somewhere by mistake, which unfortunately I've been known to do)Very easy to replace...To remove: Place pole in a vise (just tight enough to hold it), run a crescent wrench up snug to the pole above the plastic part, one whack with a hammer against the wrench and the tip assembly pops off.To install: Push replacement tip onto the end of the pole then holding the pole as you would when hiking, simply hammer the pole down with the tip on a concrete surface until it is as far up as the original tip assembly was.BTW, I wouldn't waste $ on the higher priced Black Diamond tips featuring the threaded metal tip... they tend to unscrew in a very short time, so unless you super-glue them on (defeating the purpose of a replacement tip) or check them every hike, you're likely to lose them.

I really like my carbon fiber REI-branded Komperdell trekking poles, but the Komperdell baskets are terrible. I was able to easily install these Black Diamond tips (and baskets, if desired).1) Dunk the old tips in boiling water for two minutes.2) Use bench vice or pliers to yank off the old tips.3) I had to use a 3/8" drill bit to widen the inside of the BD plastic tips to fit my Komperdell poles. Super easy with with a drill.4) Slide on new BD tips. They friction fit snugly, but I added a small amount of super glue just in case.

These things work a treat to replace the tips of my Hammer walking stick. I tried the boiling water idea for replacement. It didn't work. Not for me.I used a chisel and small hammer and "shaved" the old tip off. There was a stub of a carbide tip left in the end of my stick. I took a hacksaw to this. I have a Flex hiking staff as well. I don't expect this tip to be in that one. The Hammer I have had much longer than the Flex and the cheap POS Hammer is outlasting the vastly more expensive Flex.After the carbide tip removal, I just placed the new tip on the end and pounded it on concrete. Tried to pull if off, with my hand, and was unable. Used it a couple 3 times, w/o issue. I flat wore the old one down.

These are weirdly hard to find, but they work very well. If you're planning a long hike (i.e. 1000 miles or more) I'd recommend buying these ahead of time and be prepared to ship them to yourself on a resupply a month or two in. No tips will survive a thru-hike so you might as well be preemptive and not destroy your poles.

These were simple replacement tips for hiking poles. It turned out easy to remove the old, broken tips and to replace them with the new tips. The instructions were adequate and the tips have been great so far.
