Quick fix so you won't lose your pin pointer

I have an in line probe but decided to buy a pro pin pointer but I don't want to lose it so I came up with this idea.

I drilled a .085 hole in the cap.
Tighten the cap and make sure that you drill the hole in back of the flat part of the battery. There is a small amount
of space to work with.
I then put .065 weedwacker line through and then put a tube ( any type ) around the line.
Now I am going to connect it to my shaft... Hope I don't lose it....

I put one of those invisible fence sensors on my unit, reverse-biased the circuitry and when I get more than 5 feet from it my shock collar tells me.

LOL
For some reason when I tried that the shock treatments weren't doing me any good for my terahertz

Oh well that's easy, just remember which "unit" to put the shock collar on....

I covered the speaker and button with some clear silicone and now i can bring it to the beach underwater. Got the idea from a guy on facebook works great.

nice setup. I always end up with the target in one hand and the pointer in the other. Had it for 2 years and not forgot it yet.

Here is how to make the buzzer hole waterproof without mute. Need replace the buzzer cover to waterproof film.
Do not recommend to change because of the warranty terms.
