super quick assembly

Snaps together in a flash. Wide foam handle and pull tab make it easy to grip with both hands. So quick and efficient, I'll never go back to a lesser model.

good buy

By: EXPO650
November 12, 2007

Got this probe as part of a set last winter. Thankfully I have yet to use it in an actual burial, however in the nurmerous practice sessions I have done it has functioned flawlessly. I'm a big fan of the PFA assembly - all you gotta do is give a yank on the T-bar and the sections pop into place. I would give it 5 stars, but I'll wait till i have to use it when it counts for a rating like that.

I'd assume 240/6=40cm, but I could be off by a few cm due to parts.

Freakin' sweet

assembles in about a second, even gives you enough time to go "holy crap that was cool" then go look for your burried buddy. Rubberized handle keeps hands comfy and gripped.

I gave this to my nephew for Christmas and he used it in a week long avalanche training course. He said that it worked great.
