as I only found slightly over a buck. Made the mistake of dragging my 1500 out and swinging it for awhile. Forgot how heavy that puppy is ( especially with the PROformance coil attached ) and it was like swinging a piece of lead in my still puny condition. My back between my shoulder blades hurts like hell and feels like I've been stabbed with a pitch fork. If I take it out again I'm going to put the Scorcher coil back on it.
With all the space age materials available today don't know why Garrett can't make all their machines light ( 2 to 2.5 pounds ) like Tesoro does and like the 250, especially for us old farts and people with disabilities and physical limitations. They don't need to be built like a tank and weigh as much. As long as most of them have been on the market their design and composition concept is a little long in the tooth, IMHO. Designing lighter models would most likely boost sales. Look how the 250 took off and is still selling like a house afire. I think Garrett is long overdue for some new designs.
