Get a MK3, all the MK1's are becoming worn out now, and Deben won't refubish them now Quote Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've never used a Mk1, so can't comment on how good/bad they are, but from what i hear they are getting harder to get fixed when they do go wrong. I use the Mk3 with a original mk3 collar and a mk3m collar, and i get spot on every time, and that is all i need from a locator, not having used a mk1 i also found the mk3 easy to use, i think the reason they sometimes get bad feed back, is the same reason a some people have moaned about the change on this site, some people just don't like change. Get yourself a Mk3 mate, you won't be dissapointed. Quote Link to post

Sorry bouncer but I'm going to buck the trend and say don't get one ! Mk 3's work and once you get used to their ways are usable bits of kit ,But if you have a decent working Mk1 why spend damn near £150 on something that you don't need. I mean the mk 3 is still just a ferret locator ,it won't dig the thing up for you . Edited November 10, 2009 by comanche Quote Link to post
