Broken hand grip

[Dick from NC]

The grip broke at the base of the grip on my T2. If I repair it myself will that void the warranty? I can fiberglass it and keep on detecting but I don't know if it will void the warranty.

Dick bite the bullet and just send it in. They will fix or replace it under warranty.

Just wondering if they upgraded this on the F75? This is definitely a problem along with the cheap battery springs First Texas is using!

Usually never over a two week turn around!

I agree. I've also taped up the lower shaft connect at the loop connector to add strength, because it started to get loose. There won't be any problem to fix the hand grip I just didn't know if it would void the warranty by doing it myself.

But does it affect the warranty to make a temporary repair until I can send it in. This is the prime relic hunting time. I don't know if I can go that long without going hunting.

In the middle of a relic hunt and one side of the handgrip just snapped so instead of glueing it i just piled on a half roll of electrical tape and man is it solid now. That way i can just take the tape off if i want to send it in. Good luck,

With a temporary repair I'm ready to head to North Myrtle, South Carolina for a little beach hunting.

Yep, mine broke several times. I only sent it back once. The rest of the time I fixed myself. Since I got the T2 the Explorer has been sitting against the wall.
