Did you know your Harbor Freight pin pointer

I have a HF pin pointer as a backup as well. I find it hard to keep the red button pushed in while hunting the dig site... it beeps once real quick... then I think I have something... then I test it on my shovel... and get disappointed.

My local HF store has 1 in stock and they are holding it for me. I too got to wondering about the integrity of the tip. I'll seal it with the same LocTite as shown and then prolly try to improve upon the circuit.

WRONG When I phoned the store earlier today the female clerk cut me off before I could finish saying the model number. She said, "yep, got one here under on a shelf under the register." So I show up 2 hours later and it's the wrong unit-- it's a wand for body scanning! What ensues minutes later is three employees searching the store for the pinpointer model. Twenty minutes later they give up and the manager admits the shelf has been empty for weeks. Their South Carolina distribution center is out of them as well. I told the manager that if the girl would have allowed me to finish saying the model number, all of us wouldn't be wasting our time and my gasoline!

I have two of them and I had to glue my tip in also to keep it from poping out , I also had to go inside and and cut the ends off the switch wires and solder them to the little connection studs so they would make good contact and stay hooked up , but since I done those two things to it , it has worked great .
