Pros: + Very bright dot and beam.+ Beam is slight visible in daylight, and much visible in dim light, Extremely bright in the night (can't wait till winter).+ Nice and Heavy weight, lies good in the hand with a solid grip and a nice button.+ Friends love it already ordering one for them :)..+ , i recieved it here in 9 days afteFast shippingr i placed the order!+ Burns your skin :b.. (more then expected)auch.+ Can keep going telling Pros, but dont wanna spend my entire life doing so:)
Cons: - Your eyes might hurt if you look directl into the dot, becouse there aint any IR filter, so using Laser proof goggles would make it all funner and safer. - It loves eatng batterys. (remove batterys from the laser when not in use would improve the duration alot.- Makes sound when screwing it up ( not a problem for me, just might be annoying for like others around), but it aint too loud.+ Cant find anymore.
Other Thoughts: Carefull, this might cause serious permanet damage to your eyes, and i reccomend not to look straigh on the dot if not focusing a black place.. even not if doing that if u doesent have Laser goggles.
Bottomline: It is a great laser and all who i showed it to just loves it, and are like fighting to get a try hehe :) Very bright beam so watch your eyes and that would be it.
Pros: + Very bright dot, and beam.+ Beam can be seen indoor very clearly under dim light.+ Very visible at night (cant wait till winter :) ).+ Heavy weight, and lies well placed in the hand.+ Great price.+ Scaring birds with it is fun Lol..+ Friends will love it.+ Soo much else thats no space to tell about.+ Dont think DX send thoose "fakes" anymore, it might just have been a mistake or something. + Pretty fast delivery, i didnt know about the trick with buying the "removeing of DX sticker" wich should make it much faster to ship, but ive got ive ordered it on 17/6, the shipment of money was done 19/6 and i got it early 27/6. (i live in Denmark).
Cons: - May hurt your eyes a little bit if you light with the laser indoors (specially on bright things) since theres no IR filter (watch ur eyes)- Alittle battery eater :)(take batterýs out of the laser pointer, when not in use for saving more power.
Other Thoughts: You shouldent watch at the forum post about lasers with green laser beam on the sticker, wich are half as good as 50mw. This might have been a miss from DX, and i dont think they send more of them.
Bottomline: This is a very good laser, and ill highly reccomend it (ive also had a typo on my laser sticker xd.. mm instead of nm), and it was alittle smaller then ive expected. Very nice laser pointer..., Thanks DealExtreme, for this little thing! gotta have it, gotta love it.
Pros: -The laser is extremely easy to use! -The laser is very powerful!-The laser shines really far! (over 5K)-The laser is pocket-sized-It comes with batteries
Cons: -It comes in a cheap*ss box-It just eats batteries-There are no real cons actually ;p
Other Thoughts: I still have to try to burn stuff and to pop balloons but I have no doubt that the laser is capable of doing that.
Bottomline: If you want to impress your friends and like gadgets, this is the sh*t you shoeld buy!It is great value for money and guaranteed fun:)Buy it!!!!
Pros: Well pro, what can I say-Mine was not a fake one as indicated in some of the comments-It's really bright-The beam is visible in most daytime situations unless in direct sunlight-The batteries last a respectable amount of time for the brightness-It burns tape and other thin black items-It stings my barely tan white skin-The beam is visible for crazy distances at night-It's cheap and I love it -It took a drop on a cement hardware store floor and survived with no loose crystals
Cons: -Shit can get around the dot from moisture and dust after a while(clean it out with a dry q-tip, hard and then lighten up as you take it out of the tip of the laser and it usually cleans it up nicely)-The driver got out of alignment and I had to press harder, it was randomly dimming(a bit of tissue paper and a screw driver easily fixes this)-I want a brighter and more powerful one now(is that a con????)
Other Thoughts: Fixing stuff with it is easy for what you are doing, these lasers are addicting and that's why the batteries run out so fast, you can't stop playing with it.
Bottomline: It's a great laser for the price as long as you don't get the so called fake. It's has a nice weight to it and now all my friends want to do a group buy on DX lasers. Pretty well built despite the easily fixable and minor flaws. I love mine and plan to buy a 100mw true soon. Thanks DX for a good quality laser and a sweet price.
