Product Reviews
Quality product
Very quick to put together -- just toss and pull until the final piece snaps into place. Doesn't rely on any plastic parts to hold the probe together + coated wire, unlike other brands. Stiffer but lighter than aluminum probes. Nice stuff sack with a Velcro flap, instead of the usual draw-string bag, so you can get your probe out quicker. Have yet to test in the field.
Solid, Big and Fast
Very nice probe, solid and beefy to probe dense debris, and very fast to open when adjusted right; however if the snap is out of adjustment it can be a pain to figure out why it will not snap and the biggest beef I have with this probe is that the plastic coating on the cable is quick to come off in the area where the cable comes through the snap. Mine separated after only about ten uses. Could have used a kevlar cord would have been my only improvement.
