broken armrest on AT Pro!!!!!!

[whitey9977]

I just broke my armrest on my atpro and the same thing happened to my ace 250. Does anyone know of a stronger alternative to garretts armerest? I ordered another one of amazon but hope it doesnt break again!

Garrett's stock armrests are really cheap and flimsy. Mine broke too and they sent me a better thicker one.

Garrett's products in general are cheap and flimsy. I'm sure if you ask, they'll send you a replacement at no charge.

Yes the arm cuffs which came on the AT Pro's from the initial run had really flimsy thin plastic. If I remember right I broke 3 myself from so much use. Garrett has remedied the issue and if you contact them, they will send you a thicker and more durable arm cuff. Mine has held up for quite some time now so I would say they listened to their customers.

Yeah, don't step on them!

I glued mine back together with some two-part plastic glue.

Yeah, don't step on them

That usually helps.

One piece of 4 inch pvc and two bolts. Five bucks and its stronger than ever

I've never broken a armrest from any one. But stuff happens if you put strain one the armrest from whipping it back and forth. Garrett used to have stainless steel armrests. A call to Garrett might get you a newer plastic one.

The arm rest broke on my ATP within the first few weeks I had it. Garrett sent me a new one, but in the meantime I super glued it back together.
