Title: Re: 400 pound what metal detector Post by: JRD on July 30, 2011, 04:39:04 PM Bungees are easy to use. Belt clips around your waist and another around your shoulder. Takes seconds to put on and takes SOME of the weight of the machine.
I used one when I had an E-Trac but for me it did not take enough of the weight. I still had arm fatigue, and it still gave my bad back gyp! So in the end sold E-Trac and bought lighter machine. Other people may have had better success with them though. F75 or T2 would be my choice if your looking or something lighter.
