5.0 out of 5 stars Great Laser Pointer - Fantastic Deal, September 30, 2008

This is an absolutely great laser pointer, and an incredible deal. Over the last month I had bought a couple of different traditional red laser pointers at local stores. One was about $7, and stopped working within 10 seconds of trying it out. The second one was $20, and started giving me problems within a few days as well. This laser pointer, however, is of truly world class quality. It's made of metal and has a real heft to it. The button feels solid, and it comes in a nice case. Best of all is it's a green laser pointer, which for those who haven't tried them are far brighter than their red cousins. It's bright enough that you can actually see the beam it makes in the dark. (Although it helps to view it from the right angle). This is by far the best laser pointer I have ever used, and at the incredible low price these are going for, you just can't go wrong with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars My luck is not as good as other reviewers so far, March 21, 2009

My luck is not as good as other reviewers so far. I received the product yesterday and used it for my presentation. It worked great at the beginning but the good time only lasted for about 15 minutes. It went out thereafter and did not come back. The battery is new, so the problem must be the product. I am contacting the seller to have a replacement and will share my experience with new buyers.

About 2 weeks later:

The seller is good. I sent an email to request a replacement because the first one only worked for about 15 minutes. It seems that they process email somewhat slow. So I called them, once got through, someone took my call and she was friendly. She sent instructions for the replacement via email. But I met a small problem with the process so called them again. Once again, the phone was easy to get through and a gentleman took my call. He solved the problem easily and the replaced item came in the third day after the call. The new one is working excellent now. Although it took me some extra time to do the replacement, because I finally got the desired product and the people I called were friendly, it is a good experience. I would like to rate 5 stars now if the stars could be edited.

About 5 months later:

The new one worked for about 5 months (absolutely not heavily used). Now, there is a problem with the switch. The laser may either not be able to turn off (you can certainly take out the battery to turn it off) or not be able to turn it on. So, there is not use any more. The manufacture really need to do a better job on quality control. I still appreciate the vendor's friendliness but will not spend time to contact them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Works occasionally, November 12, 2009

Worked for about 5 mins after getting it, then stopped. Actually, "faded" would be more accurate. Replaced the batteries, and it worked for a while (10 mins), then stopped. Replaced the batteries, again. This time, the laser didn't turn on. Looking down the barrel (at an angle, mind you), I can see a faint red glow. Shaking, waiting, changing the batteries, and playing around with the switch, might get it to work, but not for long. I've since went back through the garbage and pulled out the batteries which I thought were bad, all measuring between 1.4 - 1.5 volts.
