[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 626507, member: 16174"] Is it just me or do SDC2300 shaft locks simply suck ? I have had my new sdc2300 less than 9m and have had the lower lock replaced once under warranty and the new one failed & I was given another new one and that has now failed. In the first case the rubber pad had dislodged & I glued it back in and reused it & that lasted longert han the original - but not much & in the second the pad is still there but doesnt supply enough compression to hold the shaft. so that is 3 failures in less than 200hrs detecting. Doesnt look like anything wrong with the shaft or camlock bracket on the shaft - just appears the rubber pad is slightly compressed and so the cam doesnt quite hold. I know it is not a walking stick but it is supposed to be a sturdy serious detector. Does anyone else have this sort of drama & if so is there a fix other than gaffer tape the shafts together ?
