The Propointer was great, I had 2 and both lasted about 3-4 years but eventually both switches went bad.
I called Garrett and the tech told me if I sent both in together they would repair both for the price of one repair, about $20, and send them back to me.
A great deal and offer I thought on an out of warranty product.
But I never did because they still kinda worked and I didn't want to hunt without one.
I also had a Deteknix one but that crapped out after a month or so and I just won't hunt without a pinpointer.
Then I got a Carrot from Bart at the beginning of last year, maybe a little before that.
The switch is way better and I have no issues.
