Product description

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.

We offer several models of our Tornado tips:

About Thomas Fetterman

We Offer a Full Line of Products Made in the USA Crutch Tips Forearm Crutches Canes Grips Why Thomas Made His First Tips

My doctor said I had worn and inflamed shoulder joints due to the constant impact associated with crutch use. He said I should slow down and take aspirin! Instead, I invented a patented crutch tip with a built-in shock absorbing gel system. Slowly but surely my shoulder pain disappeared. I am happy to say that now; almost 20 years later…my shoulders are still pain free! And I fall far less often.

Created by Thomas Fetterman

In 1988 I invented & patented a new crutch tip technology with built-in shock absorption. Tornado and Performance gel filled tips are hand assembled in a 12 step process using the best quality natural rubber with only 10 % clay mixed-in, versus the 40-60% clay mixture in other major brands.

Patented Shock Absorbing Crutch Tips

Absorbs 80% of Negative Ground Impact ForceLast 3-5 Times Longer Than Ordinary Tips

Crutch Tip Technology

Thomas Fetterman has been using crutches since he contracted polio in 1953. Thomas set out to build a better solution. He created and patented a shock-absorbing crutch tip that absorbs 80% of negative ground impact force and lasts 3-5 times longer than ordinary tips. And that was just the start. Thirty years later, the company offers a full line of tips, forearm crutches, canes, and grips. All products are made in the USA using top quality components. With over 1,000,000 products sold, customers agree that we manufacture the most technically advanced, handsome, and durable products available.
