ginga john 268 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well the little fella is now coming on, albeit slowly, but really stating to show some serious interest so its time to go and buy a new collar and box. The last one was a deben and worked fine for a good few years once i got into the habit of taping the battery caps on!! But now just to makes things a bit more difficult we have these "new fangled" Bellman & Flint boxes. all well and good but the collars look a fair bit bigger than my old Deben one and (maybe) could be a bit more prone to getting a bite or two and thus damaged or destroyed. So my question to you good people out there is: what do you use, what are the pro's and cons of Deben vs Bellman & Flint its a few quid to spend on the latter so i want to be sure. many thanks in advance Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,336 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Once you have used the B & F you won't use anything else,believe me it beats scralling about on your hands and knees.Seriously there is no comparison a massive leap in technology.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Bellman and flint are the daddy....... personally I wouldnt put Deben shit on a working terrier. the B+F may be a little more expensive but they are better price is what you pay, value is what you get.... Quote Link to post
brother fox 1 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Bellman & Flint. Not only can you find your terrier under ground down to 50 feet in 10mm graduations on a LED screen but find them in large haystacks, stone heaps and old buildings. Quote Link to post
Guest bitsa lurcher Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 how much do you value your terrier at ???? £££££ to hell with the extra cost buy the best B + F by far the best locator money can buy Quote Link to post

matulkoh 66 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 BF is far better than deben, but new mammut plus ortovox is even better than BF. Quote Link to post
