As a pensioner to whom life's cards have not been fairly dealt - I have Multiple Sclerosis and Osteoporosis - my feelings on waking up one morning before Christmas and seeing a festive covering of white muck was slightly less than ecstatic. I went into my drive and fell flat on my back and decided, like Edward VIII, "Something must be done!". I looked on Amazon -first port of call as usual- and found this little beauty. Reasonably priced - does exactly what it says on the box. Fitted in moments it clicks up and down easily, so adjusting for going in and out of icy areas. With this and the snow grippers for my shoes [also from Amazon] I was waltzing up and down my road in moments [which is an added bonus as I couldn't waltz previously] Seriously - don't hesitate excellent on ice and I feel would do well on wet grass, slippery mud etc. if one just tapped any soil out of the spikes now and then. Enjoy [also handy for frightening "hoodies" I would imagine]

This does what it says on the packet. I took it out in snow and ice and it digs in providing much needed stability. I felt much more confident with this. Usually my stick would be slipping out from under me in easier conditions than this.

I bought my Ice Grip walking stick attachment to help with last winter's snow and ice.
It fits literally within a minute to walking sticks of varying diameters, securely held by two simple screws (a screwdriver is required to tighten it up securely).
The gripper is a circle of steel with sharp prongs, resembling a crown cap that fits snugly over the walking stick ferrule.
It operates on a very simple lever principle; pressing the lever arms together enables it to be flipped up or down. The two white plastic knobs that are pressed to enable this can just be seen in the photograph. Severely arthritic hands might find this problematical, the knobs are quite small and some light pressure is required.
I found that my grip worked best on icy, compacted snow. I had to dig in in sharply with each step on really compacted snow, but I was considerably safer than if I had not been using one.
It wasn't much use on sheet ice - the sharp prongs skidded off this and I was wary of damaging them. It does work well on mud as well, and rinsed clean quickly and easily under the outdoor tap.
I snagged my trousers once or twice on the prongs when the grip was flipped up and was worried I would catch passers by. It was quickly removed once there was a thaw and stored away - I've just brought it out for this winter and again, it fitted to a stick in seconds.

Don't waste your money
This item was rubbish. It was flimsy and not fit for purpose. The device for holding the 'grip' to stick into the ice was off-centre, and as soon as any pressure was exerted on... Read more
