[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 649011, member: 4728"] Thanks for the photo. Do you have any issues with the ball jumping out of the ball socket when downward pressure is lost? I found when working with a hipstick of similar design over more difficult conditions involving mounds, slopes, bushes etc and having to often raise the detector coil the ball end often jumped out of the socket when downward pressure was lost. Most annoying in those conditions. I sold that hip stick with a 5000 I had a few years ago but now I have bought another 5000 need another stick. I have a spare Bunnings tool holder like that one so will make up another one similar to yours. Just had a thought that maybe with some rubber banding around the holder and shaft just above the ball, that might prevent any tendency for it to pop out of its socket still providing flexibility for the ball to swivel.
