Detachable Wand
A Wand That Lets Go
You can pull the wand off its magnetic connection at any time. That’s by design: it protects the lever the wand attaches to from being bent.
Reconnecting is as easy as it looks. Bring the two ends close together and the magnets snap them back into place. They’re strong, but a firm pull will always release the wand.
A few things to weigh before you choose. Our design consultants can help with all of them.
Safety First
No dangling cords makes SoftTouch® a safer choice for homes with children and pets. Read more about child-safe window treatments.
