slingshot82 32 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Never used a T bar before, but maybe will this coming season. Im just going to make one myself, can anyone tell me what diameter bar would be best to use? And length? Thanks Kyle Quote Link to post
bullethead 4 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) i tend to use 16mm stainless solid bar,,bit heavy for some but suits me fine. i usually do them 36" or 48" long with a 15" top Edited August 5, 2010 by bullethead Quote Link to post

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 They're excellent tools to have, a few times in the past we've broke through to the side of the terrier when using the B&F on it's own, but if you use a fencing bar or a T-bar as well as the Locator you will break through right on top of them every time. Get your reading on the locator push the bar through and have a listen, you'll hear them clearer the closer you get and you'll find the little b*stard no trouble. Well worth taking out with you, let us know how you get on with it Quote Link to post
MAIN MAN 277 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I wont go digging without one! mine is about 4 foot long 15 mm stainless steel, can be used to push in and find tubes where you would normaly miss, real handy bit of kit. Quote Link to post
stormyboy 1,352 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 A handy tool to have slingshot. Useful for ferreting too. Pups looking good by the way! Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 The most over rated, over used piece of kit. Lads spend small fortunes on finders and never bother their arses learning how to use them and then depend on a piece of steel that in most cases only hinders a terrier at his work.

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Bad terriers. Yes that makes sense - before the invention of locators all terriers were bad. . . . Quote Link to post
