I've been borrowing my "roundy round" buddy's set. They have survived lots of years in the dirt and mud. Cant remember who made 'em though.

I have a 5 year old set of Longacre brand ones... they were great until I managed to put the batteries in backwards......

New versions have a built in idiot proof option....

New card for box cost me 150 bucks.... dumbass moment right there..

Otherwise they are awesome..

Bosshoss, Be careful tossing around that "idiot proof" term. Every time I make something idiot proof somebody rolls out a new and improved idiot. Rolling Eyes

We have a old set of Longacres that we have used for years with no issues. The new wireless ones would be sweet.

I know that's how I am leaning right now as to have somebody set it up and be done with it for $100.00.

At Rick's age he doesn't have to worry about that. Suz runs it thru a blender and then he uses a straw!
