Navitrack II vs. Scout locator - Plumbing Zone

rocksteady · 06-30-2009, 09:42 PM

who here has used both? i have the big navitrack II but have been toying with the idea of selling it and buying the scout to get a little $$ and free up a bit of space in the van. is it worth it?

I've used them all. navitrack, scout, seektech sr20.

Scout works great for line locating and sonde locating. most plumbers will never need more than the scout. I sold my navitrack here. I still have my sr20 but it never gets used. I use the scout all the time.

I've used both...
I prefer the big ol Navitrak unit over the scout...
I like it better on deep lines over 10'
I think it's easier to use also but thats just my personal preference.

I'M with rocksteady- shopping for a new one myself-whats the price range on these rocksteady?

new prices are a bit over $2k for the navitrack and i think the scout's around $1,200. i'd be looking used. if i could pick up a scout for $600 or less i might jump on it.
