Garrett Ace 150 Box Cover from Pro-tectors

Hello there, this is a quick product review for the Protectors box cover for a Garrett 150. It also covers the 250, 350 and Euro Ace. Right, this is my son's Garrett Ace 150 metal detector and at the minute it's got the cover that it came with. I actually bought this detector second hand and I've no idea whether this is a proper cover for this machine or not but it's not much cover at all. You need to lift that off to actually get to the buttons which defeats the object of something that's meant to protect the machine from the rain. As soon as you lift that off obviously the rain is going to get in there and also when you want to replace the batteries you have to undo these two little screws on the back, take this whole lot off to get to the battery cover. No good at all. I'm going to take it off but unfortunately I don't have a screwdriver but I've got the next best thing. Right now we can fit this cover. That's it. Easy as that. Over the top, Secure it on the back with a Velcro, it's a nice tight fit. If you need to get to the batteries, take that off, pull that out, you're into the batteries. So that's a nice tight secure fit around the back of there. If you do need to get to the headphone jack, it's just there. There's enough space to get the cable out there, not a problem. Just take that off, plug it in, slap it back on. If you need to change your coil, at the minute we've got quite a big coil on this fella. Might want to switch to a smaller one if we're in a park. You've still got great access to there. Again, it's just a two-second job to take it off if you need to take the whole thing off. Switched it on there. You can still see that well enough through there. You still get to the buttons. Now, I don't know how well this is coming out on the video until I watch it back, but it's actually raining reasonably hard now. The machine's out in the rain. There's no water at all inside the cover, and it's been sitting there for about five or ten minutes whilst I've been answering a call in the house. But just to be on the safe side, as far as tests go, We'll add a little bit more water, just so there's no doubt about its weatherproof abilities. There you go, absolutely bone dry inside of there. That'll allow you to continue detecting, even if you get a bit of rain, you might just get that find of a lifetime. Great product. I've detected when I've been ridiculously wet through to the skin, but the machine stayed dry. I'm going to try. As I said, this is my son's machine, he tends not to stay out when it's wet, as soon as it rains he goes inside, but I've got an e-track, I've got a different cover, but it's by the same company, Protectors, and it can be lashing down, I can still quite happily be detecting, finding stuff when other people are inside, finding nothing.
