Sirius 1,391 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Had another 60 quids worth of Deben mk3m high quality collar soil it pants on me today! They are bulky, get caught in nets and are a fecker to turn on and off, and constantly brake, us ferreters seem to be under the cosh with nowhere else to go but Deben. I just hope one day another company would make a decent locator system and I could tell Deben to go whistle. Quote Link to post

What happened to the mark two stuff?? Do any lads still use that ?? Its shit mate thats why they brought the mk3 out so quick.

Sirius 1,391 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bollocks the mk3m collars are kak IMO. I have seen the metal connectors break or fall off on the insides of at least 4 collars! They are all pretty shite at turning on and off with that crappy magnet. The best collars Deben made were the mk3 grey collars, reliable, fit better and once the battery's are in they work! Quote Link to post
Sirius 1,391 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 The mk2 was real pants, collar design was good but they ate batteries and the box had no pinpointer or way to turn sound off. Quote Link to post
SINDASOX 256 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 You would think that after all the years Experience they have that their new products would be Superior to the old stuff.....still using the Mk1 myself. SINDASOX 1 Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 You would think with the amount of negitive feedback they receive they would act upon it.. Quote Link to post

Does anyone know what there charging for a service/repair on a collar? Quote Link to post
AndyKelly 251 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 always thought it would be great if some clever person could bring out a micro chip than is imbedded into the ferrets neck that transmits a signal to a box would be so more comfortable for a ferret 3 Quote Link to post
