FlashFerret 1 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well basically they invented the ferret finder and terrier finder, so they are responsible for saving the lives of countless ferrets and dogs. They brought lithium power to lamping and my back is better off for that! Their Hawke scopes are fantastic bits of kit. When ever I have dealt with them their customer service has been nothing short of excellent. I hardly think you can blame them for you melting your blitz, it's not even a Deben product!

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 nobody had any problems wae deben Not really tbh The lamps are shite build quality but a few wraps of rape tape usually sorts them (still not acceptable for the price). The only time I have sent something back was when I bought a striker variable. Two weeks later I tripped going over a fence and smashed it on a road Sent it back and got a brand new one-no quetions asked! Could not believe it myself Have used their ferret finders for years and have never had any issues. Just pot luck sometimes I think. FTB Quote Link to post

I hardly think you can blame them for you melting your blitz, it's not even a Deben product! if deben aint associated wae lighforce, then im bad i was under impression deben either owned or was partners with them however just because deben have invented the ferret finder does not mean they are allowed to have ye over a barrel i used to think they were the bees knees, when oot ferreting an diggin, until the orto kit an the bellman come oot an truth be told they are light years ahead of anything deben have produced yet... i have had a few propblems wae deben, regarding there collars an boxes in the past, charges to fix, refusal to fix an discontinuation of products they know people are still using, an so they could make us buy the newer version an as far as the lithium batterys go ffs, dont get me started, all that money an for what, a seriously shoddy bit of workmanship, maybe i lamp more than a lot, but the plug where the lamp connects to battery is nowt less than shite Quote Link to post
DottyDoo 500 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 DD, face facts you brought a replica off ebay........................ if i thought theyr were cheap copys oot there id seriously be geeing 1 a shot Quote Link to post
Guest AngelicAcid Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Shit customer service, one of their locators was 3 and a half foot out, used corectly, and tested afterwards by them once i sent it back, yes, it was out by 3 foot easy. They said its only a guyide line, refused to replace, and i got the item back. Needles to say its been the mk1 ever since. But at 3 and a half foot off, its life or death isnt it, not to them, now morfe like money or not. I even told them how they could improve on their sytems, but hey ho they didnt give a f**k. On the other hand,the lamps are spot, on, only the lens, trigger and wiring, oh and the batteries have f****d up. Quote Link to post

cocpops 19 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I bought a Deben Max Gun Lamp, which I thought was pretty dam good, in comparison to my other ones. The lamp wasn`t used much at all then.... by accident I`de left it connected to the battery in a back pack as I put it into the boot it must`ve knocked itself on. A few days later I went to use it, only to find the fully charged battery now flat. And on checking things out realised the entire plastic/glass front had disappeared...... melted away to nothing. I was annoyed as its the last thing you`de expect. But to be honest maybe I was lucky as if it had started a fire in the boot then maybe a lot of other stuff could have been lost. Price for the damaged parts were £27.50 incl postage. So its good lamp, but make sure its not left on in enclosed space otherwise its a fire hazard. Quote Link to post
