Wizard probe

I used the wizard for the first time. Great tool! The vibra probe is waiting for me at the house. Can't wait to compare the two!

I am not familiar with this probe, but I just looked on ebay and it looks like a cheap yellow kids water gun!

Let us know how you like it. I have gone through 2 WHite's Bullseye probes this year, and will not invest in another. Even the store says they are crap nowadays.

I just recently purchased a Wizard Vib Probe. Never used a pinpointer probe before. Now I can say I'll try not to be without it. Sure saves a lot of time. I did however modify mine so that it activates with the trigger.

I too was sucked in by Whites "Bulls Eye " probe to the tune of a
Hundred bucks, and it is not worth a flip. Oh well, live & learn.

Try a Sun Ray and your problems will be over, plus you can detect with it on shallow targets under five inches.

Was wondering who has tried the Wizard Probe and what they think of it.

I had one, gave it to my son and bought a VibraProbe; Other than being a bit "klutzy", I prefer the Wizard. Picks up signals on the side of the probe, not just the point.

But Bill is right, I'm getting a Sunray and the Vibra Probe will be the back up.

I bought a Wizard probe and used it until the screw that held the fine tuner in place came loose. I tried to repair it at it never worked again.. In my opinion they work well,however there is a need for some major design changes. I then bought a VibraProbe and I am totally satisfied with it. It is built like a tank and is waterproof.

I won my first - it stopped working within a day. Brought it back to the hardware store and got my $ back.
Bought my second at an auction - stopped working within 3 days - I'm stuck with it. Website 'fix' didn't work.
And it looks like a gun - suggest painting it yellow if you insist on having one.
