ATB Cookie I'm surprised no enterprising company has done it mate, i'm sure its fairly simple in design. Must be patented i guess. It's a drain tool in reality haha. Quote Link to post

The one 8,486 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I wear a hearing aid in my left ear and the noise grates my teeth it seems louder than a disco to me ?. Quote Link to post
kenny243 54 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 has anyone of you ever noticed that the ferrets often come true if you 're using the MK3 ? mine do , they seem to come out of the hole to the sound of the MK3 Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,412 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 ive got both,, the old grey knocker boxes,,, and the disco carrot,,, my old box has just been serviced but im not impressed,,, and my carrot i dont find that acurate,, it seems to read 18 inch deeper than it actualy is.. as for your stinkers coming to the music,,,, never had that,, must be some dutch thing,,like that fast rave music "gabba teckno ferrets Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Aye tomo - it always seems to read deeper than it is, so you need to be a bit careful with the old spade. As for them coming out to the beep, not a chance if the rabbit is still alive, if it's dead, the often pop out and say howdy at the mouth of the hole and then shoot back to it when they see me digging.

I have given an old grey box and terrier collar to a customer who has given it to an electronic company, so watch this space! And I think it can only have copy rights if it is copied, so a slight change would be needed. 1 Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Mark 3 is far more accurate than the old knocker box once you have learned how to use it and I drop on top of the rabbit every time. As for finding the ferrets we have a far better addition to our team for that it's called a little beau ........... Quote Link to post

johnrthrfrd 223 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I find it a first class bit of kit agree overpriced but always puts me right on top of the ferret and rabbit . Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I,m sure there will be an APP or programme for the bloody Iphone or something in the next year or 2 the way technology is moving so fast these days. Old grey knocker box... heheee. The mk3 will be in a museum in few more years along with the rest of us old crazy fools. Quote Link to post
