Exclamation LOC8TOR LITE...?!?!

...This product any good at locating lost things? Opinions please:-

Loc8tor Lite

If not, do you just recommend the cheapo clap/whistle ones (why are those ones so goddam big though! )

LOL, yeah - you gotta make sure you don't mislay the effing transmitter in the 1st place! (At least the clapping ones don't suffer from that issue).

But the transmitter types are more potential "non-theft friendly", of course.

Doesn't this thing mean that you have to carry the main locater device with you at all times? It looks huge and you wouldn't want to be carrying that and a phone, wallet etc in your pocket everytime you nipped to the shops

That doesn't phase me - I'd keep the transmitter in my 'brick' of a wallet LOL (it's always with me ).

If that's the Lite version I'd hate to see the full version.

I was going to say go for it, then I saw the price.

Just get some extra keys cut!

We had a whistling device once and hated it, turn on the tv, beep beep, open the door a funny way, beep beep, kettle boil, beep beep! Whistle.... Whistle..... WHISTLE! Beep beep.

I dropped a brick on the fvcker in the end, piece of ****.

Good luck!

It's the same thing, except the Plus version has a customisable LCD screen so you know exactly what the things are - easier to suss at a glance. Also I think the Plus's transmitter can control up to 8 separate tags (4 for the Lite).
