The WheelchairParts.Net Big Button Quick Release Axle 1/2 in x 5 1/4 in is a stainless steel rear-wheel axle with an oversized black push button. The larger button gives the thumb or palm a bigger target, which makes releasing the wheel easier for hands with little strength. This version is 134 mm long and 1/2 inch in diameter. Four other lengths are offered, and axles are sold one at a time.
For people who take their rear wheels off often, for example to load the chair into a car, and find a small axle button hard to press because of limited finger strength or dexterity. Confirm your axle length and diameter first.

The button is larger than on a standard axle, so it can be pressed with the thumb pad or palm. That helps users with limited finger strength or dexterity.
No. It is sold individually. A chair with two quick-release rear wheels needs two axles.
