I don't want to get them in trouble since they are the only ones trying to protect customers. I mailed them about it and they said this was the issue and they are waiting for it to be solved somehow before they sell them again. Maybe this is the reason they are 'out of stock' in some other places. THe thing is, i sent the whole video of how bad it works to both Quest and the other shop where I bought it, and both said it's normal to work that badly. So I don't know if people like you have the same one I got or a differently working one. I never had these issues with my Pulsedive, which has the full tip working, same as the other regular pinpointers, I suppose. In the video you can see i hold metal Against the tip's sides and it won't give any reaction. Maybe my 'pinpointer search style' relies too much on all tip and not just the front side. Apart from what I tested, it was a massive struggle to use it in the field since a lot of times I couldn't find my target with it. THe way it is mostly sensitive in front means I should search the hole with the front only.

I got that xpointer Max with great expectations: it would be smaller, lighter and iron-rejecting ! THe truth is, i was so disappointed with it. First time I went to the beach, it gave the error 'raise coil' and I couldn't stop it, so i had to walk all the way back to the car to get another pinpointer, my Pulsedive which is big and expensive but also IT ALWAYS WORKS. I realized what I had when it was too late, and I was stuck with this higly anticipated new Xpointer, which didn't find the target in a lot of the holes and piles that I made in the field, and I made a whole Youtube test video on that, because no one of all those people who got it for free will tell you where it fails, and it fails a lot for my liking and for that price ! Issues I encountered: It often interfered with my Detector. It just starts beeping for no reason. Or It will STOP beeping when metal finally touches the tip. Go figure. It has the most horrible small and tough buttons to press. Even harder to get it on and off than Pulsedive. I made a 3D printed button to make that easier but then i had to remove it to see if all my issues were maybe caused by that. It will not detect much on the sides of the tip, but Before the tip and at the base of the tip, making it very erratic and difficult to find a small target. This is why they all show tests where they use the front of the tip and nothing else. Plus: it IS lighter and smaller than Pulsedive. And sometimes it does tell you when it's iron or not, but only when you are close enough to the target, so in plenty of cases I had to keep digging, and that was exactly what i wanted to avoid. It might have problems with the cold, as one of the Dutch shops already stopped selling it because of that. Mine was kept in the car one night and in 4 degrees refused to work and only gave 'raise coil' error. So I happily send it back and got a refund. Another guy also commented on my video that he has teh Raise coil problem in the cold. Not ever going to buy Quest again since the way they answered my complaints was 'you can't expect a VLF pp to work as any other pinpointer'. Then why is it praised by everyone on youtube, and the website says it's all good ? Seems they just put it on the market with a lot of bells and whistles and now it seems faulty in cold but no one tells you about it. Don't expect anything from them. You can look up my video on youtube, and I also have a blog where I wrote stuff. Not sure i can post it here.
