Poor design
First let me say that the seller was great and offered to let me return the item, however, return shipping would have cost nearly as much as I paid for the item. This car cane design only allows you to use it while it's facing forward which means it blocks you from getting in or out of the car unless you are a small person. The flashlight part of the item prevents you from turning the handle outward which would allow proper ingress/egress. There are other similar items on the market that do allow this - one of which I purchased after first buying this one, and it works great. Secondly, although the exposed metal part of this looks substantial, the metal that extends into the handle is not nearly so. It is spindly and isn't something I feel comfortable trusting to hold my 200 lb body weight. Also, it doesn't extend all the way through the plastic handle. In summary, I found this to be a poorly made and poorly designed example of a great idea. I found a different one that is much more substantial, for a few dollars more, that I am very happy with. It doesn't have the belt cutter or the flashlight that this one has, but it works well for it's designed purpose. I hope by reading this you learn from my mistake.
