I broke one of these https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/65002206 when I accidentally dropped my pendant as I was putting it back on the side of the machine (magnets). The axis selection was still set to X and when it dropped it spun the hand wheel fast enough to shift the X axis table into the probe tip. Never did find the probe tip... I ordered a replacement and now before I hang up the pendant I switch the axis selection to off. I have found this one accurate enough for my needs for manual set up where I move the axis, given the ACME lead screws on my machine. I have however ordered one of the verser ones (plus extra probes) since it also handles Z and appears to have a bit more 'flex' to deal with deceleration of the axis once the probe makes contact.
