G3 buyer beware

By Officer Jimmy Ranked #350 - Avalanche Safety February 2, 2009

I had this probe for one year, and began having problems within the first two weeks. I never did have to use it for rescue but regularly deployed the probe for digging pits, either the nut on the top wouldn't thread onto the bolt or the internal cable would freeze in one of the segments making deployment and occasionally breakdown impossible. I always dried and stored the probe as directed. I finally contacted G3 about this and they said to send it in for a repair, it may take 2-4 weeks though, G3 does not warranty probes.
