Is this the first batch or redesigned version? Does anyone know if this is the first batch or the subsequent updated version?

I assume this is the new batch. I had to return my originals and received one of the new ones, about six months ago. Now my new ones have died just as the first ones did.

I noticed that in my last order. I know vendors redesign their products from time-to-time so I wasn't to concerned. I can say I am having the same great results!!!

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

Their Version 12 was phenomenal. But from what I understand, the company was sold and is under new ownership, so product isn't quite what it used to be. Good luck!

I don't know. Did I refer to a new version? This review was done a long time ago.

Gosh, I don't have the batch number anymore, or remember when I ordered it. A month or so ago maybe. Sorry. I've ordered it several times though and have never had a problem with any of it.

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.

I don't know, nothing indicated on the packaging it was a new improved version and I paid the lessor amount!

How many newer models are there than this one. I am confused as to which is the newest?

Hi Rebecca, my first batch was bad, and they refunded me and the second one was good. It was hassle free. I feel it really help. I hope you have as good experience as I did.

This happened to me too, I ordered what is apparently the old model (ASIN: B000G1EQ1W), but was shipped the new model that shows up as a different product (ASIN: B000ULJU0A). This was bought and shipped from Amazon, not a different seller.

Dear Donna, I had a previous one for ten years which got lost in transit. I'm not sure if new one is same, but it looks and performs identically. Keep smiling!

Hi ... Must have been a "Bad Batch!!" Did you check for continuity? Haven't tried mine - Yet!

A recent review says it is now the new version. Looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wa2bQAnIL._SL500_SS100_.jpg

The version I got after buying is 3.8. Dunno why the picture is different. Maybe the seller ran out of 3.8 cause I believe I got one of the last ones.

I think you're referring to the hardware version, not the firmware version. Seems like luck of the draw when you order. I purchased one of these around october 2013 and received a hardware v1 model. Just purchased a 2nd for another location and it is v2.

No they have not been redesigned. I was told, over the phone, that they had been redesigned. I bought one and found that they hadn't.
