broke armrest on ace 250

Contact Garrett and they might just send you one for free like Tesoro does.

I agree, call them up. I called them about a broken coil bolt.
I broke mine being heavy handed and I told them the truth and they sent me two for free.

Doesn't hurt to ask.
 

just spin the broken one over and use the "other side" of the arm rest until your new one shows up.
 

The first thing i do when something break's on my detector.... Is call the company that made the detector.............. Then if they do not have the part any more ............ Then i start to look for one else were........ So your best bet is CALL Garrett..................
 

So my question to you, is, how did it meet it's demise? :laughing7: Did it take a lickin' before it broke, or was it a "I TOLD you kids not to walk so close to me while I was digging that signal" thing? I know I cringe when my kids stumble about when they are out with me detecting, although I wouldn't NOT take them with me for all the silver and gold on earth! HH!

I was in some thick weeds and was swinging when
the coil caught on some low lying roots and the
armrest broke.
Great news though, Garret is sending me a new
armrest and should have it by the weekend.


"just spin the broken one over and use the "other side" of the arm rest until your new one shows up"

I tried that and it was very uncomfortable, but thanks for the tip.
 

Mine broke last year. I epoxied it together, works fine now.

The plastic tends to deteriorate over time.
 

I have gone through 2 of them already. I love my ace but I finally made one out of metal. I have also had one of the box mounting pegs and the coil mounting screw break. I hunt hard and I hope it will not have to many more breaks.
