Product Review:
Amtech No Jab Cane
By Andrew Palmer
At V i Safety, we’re committed to showcasing innovative solutions that improve day-to-day life for blind and partially sighted people. One standout product that continues to earn praise across the UK is the No Jab Cane, a thoughtful reimagining of the traditional long cane that’s been designed with user comfort and control at its core.
When the No Jab Cane was first introduced, V i Safety was proud to be among the very first organisations to road test it and provide feedback during its early development. Our practical insights helped shape the cane into what it has become today: a staple accessory for many in the vision impaired community. Now, several years on, the No Jab Cane remains a trusted and reliable mobility aid used by people across the UK in urban, suburban, and rural environments.
So, what makes it different? The clue is in the name. The No Jab Cane incorporates an innovative shock absorption mechanism designed to reduce the sharp, uncomfortable jolts often experienced when navigating kerbs, uneven pavements, or unexpected obstacles. Whether you’re walking through a bustling high street, crossing tactile paving at a station, or negotiating tree roots on a country path, the cane provides a much smoother, less fatiguing experience.
It’s designed for daily use and is compatible with a range of standard cane tips, including roller balls and ceramic tips. The cane is lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for extended journeys, and the grip feels balanced in the hand, ideal for those who rely on their cane as a primary mobility tool. Users report a greater sense of confidence and comfort, particularly when travelling solo or over long distances.
After extensive testing and user feedback, we’re awarding the No Jab Cane 4½ out of 5, based on design quality, functionality, and affordability. It’s a well crafted solution that addresses a common issue in a practical and elegant way and it’s been proven over time by the community it was made for.
