if you still have warranty i would contact garrett you might wanna contact them regardless they are very good and alot of times will fix it warranty or not

[cmalo1985]

k thank you im gunna check if i got a warranty cause i just got it in december lol. guess i had the strap to tight lol was detecting next thing i knew felt loose on my arm and i looked and the side waas cracked grrrr lol. thanks for the advice

[calisdad]

have you tried detecting without it? I've never even used mine.

[cmalo1985]

its not the strap its the part that forearm rest

[calisdad]

1- Garrett warranty, 2- Garrett replacement parts service, 3- Local welder. I'll bet Garrett would replace it if it shows no abuse as its not supposed to break.
hey if you're not finding some trash you're not in the right place anyway. Happy Hunting

My cuff broke the same way on my AT pro last week...I put the one off my Ace 250 on my AT because its the same thing...got to call Garrett to see if they wil send me a new one. My wife said I was disrepecting my Ace by robbing parts from it.

[cmalo1985]

thanks guys for all the advice contacted garrett waiting for a reply. but for now i fixed it with sum crazy glue and miracle putty actually worked holding strong lol actually tested it in my back yard for a lil and it held up lol. so this temp fix will do for a lil till i get a new cuff lol.

CMALO, doesn't it bother you that you have to keep undoing the strap to dig?

[cmalo1985]

lmao drives me NUTSSS lol that is what i dislike lol

[gleaner1]

Go to the factory direct. Instamundo satisfacione. It's a simple phone call away. You'll have the part in the mail with your partents' debit or credit card pronto. This works best for most brands, and for any parts still in production. The dealer will take care of you too, he will tell you to call the factory. He does not usually stock arm cuffs and such. He might, but just call the factory to avoid any delay.

MetalDetector.com They sell cuffs, arm rest, battery covers, ect.

[gunner45]

Mine broke on my AT Pro last week and I called Garrett and simply told them it broke. The first thing they said was..."I'll take care of that for you" they are sending me one for free. I'm very impressed with their customer service.

[gleaner1]

Yes call the factory they will take care of you. Avoid .coms, you wont get as good service, and you will pay more.

[davbigdave1]

A person need to Look and shop around. Nothing wron with paying a few Bucks for a Part you need.
!st Thing call the Company Derict and see How things go.
2.) Depends on Service and or Warranty, if NOT contac MetalDetector.com and ck prices and whats Avalible.
A person needs to ck all options and decide for them selves.
Haters Noting wrong with .com

Example

Metaldetector.com is awesome. No insult intended, my comments were directed at the op. All appologies. My bad. Clearly, Metaldetector.com is a good source and probably offers plenty of good products cheaper than the factory. I was wrong. My intent was to address the simple problem of a broken part on the op's machine. He acted like he had no clue as to where to begin to find a part for his machine, which is cool, maybe he cant figure it out. Well duh, call the factory. A caveman would know that. A caveman might not have ever heard of Joe's metal detector parts. But now he knows he can call the factory. Or Joe's metal detector parts. Dot com. WTF.

[cmalo1985]

hey gleaner that site is really good they have like everything for really good prices. heard back from garrett they will be sending me a replacement but i def will get things from metaldetector.com cause they really do sell at good prices thanks.
