Amazon pinpointers
Are Amazon pinpointers for £20 worth it for a beginner

I wouldn't recommend it as a few on YouTube suggest they fail after a short time hence false economy. I can recommend the Dr. Otek MT-6 pro at £59. A bit more but it seems pretty decent and works surprisingly well for the price.
I have one as a backup to the nokta nana.

I've got a long way to go before I can consider myself competent but I'm not in any hurry.

When I started 2 years ago I bought one off Amazon for a similar price and although it’s better than nothing it was a complete waste of money! They have a range of max 30 mm which will leave you frustrated taking ages to find anything small that’s worth finding. Put your £20 towards a better one mate.
You only go round the block once! So you might as well go round it with a smile on your face

I bought one almost 2 years ago, a GP Pointer.
When I bought my Nox I got a deal on the ML35 as well, so I gave the GP Pointer to my wife. She and my younger son still use it and it shows no sign of packing up.
Maybe we have been lucky or just looked after it well.
