I would be disappointed if I couldn't obtain a replacement if this one went kapoot. I echo your sentiments, though, in that I hope everything is well with their manufacturer!

I was planning on mentioning the TinyTec pinpointers, but it doesn't look like they're being produced right now. I'll keep an eye on things and I hope everything is well with their manufacturer! http://tinytec-probes.com/ Thanks for the comments Ian and Angela.

I think I got it for around $45 a year and a half ago. I also have a Bullseye II, but I much prefer the Tinytec, as it's very rugged, and the rounded tip can be inserted into the soil a little in order to get closer to the target. The rounded tip helps prevent scratching a target, but one still has to use caution when inserting tip into the soil. The pinpointer has taken a fair bit of abuse, but it's still going strong!
