Jeff, dang the tough luck, that's one of my fears MDing, having something break right when I'm honing in on something. Guess that's why I always take two machines with me, but I've only got one pin pointer :(. Good luck with the search! HH david

Yes Even if I had My Duct Tape with, It broke at the wrong spot. :(

Bad Thing without that Working right, Balance is Way off,
And it wants to twist My wrist.

I may try Gorilla Glue, But again odds are it will snap again fist time Out.

don't have enough Surface area

Jeff,
My arm cuff has broken twice and each time Minelab (in Vegas) sent me a replacement for free.
That was a few years ago, notwithstanding, you may want to ask for a freebie today; nothing to loose.
BTW, great pics.

It does look like you had some fun today. I've never tried that before, might have to see about trying.

About your cuff thingie, I'd try taking it off the pole and that way you might be able to put some sort of sheet strapping across the back for more support. Something thin but fairly strong. Just glue it and the piece together. One thing, make sure that everything is tight enough so that when you go to mount it back on the pole, everything will still fit together.

Hope it helps!

HH!

I bought this metal aftermarket cuff for my Etrac and sold the stock one. It won't break. There is one that is just the cuff and one that comes with the stand part as well. Have had 0 problems with it and it's light! Well worth the price!:thumbsup: Minelab Metal Arm Cuff

That shouldn't stop you from trying to fix the other one. Spares in hand are worth the effort. ;)

HH!

I'm hoping they shipped yesterday or at least today, if timing was an issue.

I may try Duct tape if I don't have it by Friday
