I received a KellyCo Gator when I purchased my Garrett Pro Pointer and was rather happy with it. Unfortunately the grip busted on the end and since I live in God's country I was unable to find a replacement grip anywhere. I emailed KellyCo regarding the busted grip and in just two days I received a confirmation shipping notification that a replacement Gator was in the mail.

I had the same thing happen to me. Kellyco also replaced the broken one with a new one.
I knew this problem would happen again so I took offf the grip, went to the hardware store and bought a copper pipe cap that fit over the handle of the digger. I epoxied it in place, then when it was dry. I used some old spray paint on the handle and slid the grip back on while it was still wet. (old dirt bike trick to hold the grips on the handlebars) The paint acts like glue.
That was last year and it still didn't poke through.
