The biggest problem I have with this laster pointer is that the threads which hold the battery case together are inadequate. I have to tape the laser together to make it work.

The 42 heads are a gimmick. That was OK with me since I wasn't planning to use them. But if you are you should know that there are really only about 10 unique heads. The rest are repeats. But it's good they repeat a lot of heads because their manufacturing process is so sloppy that quite a few of the heads had glue across the optical window, rendering that head worthless.

On the plus side, with no head and with the unit taped together, the laser functions.

I guess it's hit or miss with this laser pointer because I ordered one and when it arrived it was completely dead. I tried a new set of batteries and still nothing. Overall, I would say you get what you pay for, namely a cheap product for a cheap price. The casing is thin and the various laser heads are a little bit excessive but if you get a functioning unit then it's probably worth what you paid for it. I unfortunately had to pay nearly $3 return shipping for a $5 product so did not try to re-order another one. Good luck!

Overall product is very cheaply made. Mostly plastic and I wont be surprised if it breaks in just a few day. I have tried out about half off the lenses and half of those i cant even tell what they are. Most are blurry with a red laser dot in the center. If I were you I would keep looking and not buy this one. Even for the price its junk.

Used this laser pointer for use with our cat, he loved it. After about a month, I replaced the batteries and it worked fine, but after another month, it simply did not work, even with new batteries. Button clicked, but no light. Ah well, time to look for a higher quality replacement.

I have to agree with most of the reviews on this item. You definitely get what you pay for. While I expected a cheap product, by spending just a few extra dollars I can get a much higher quality product at one of the local Asian markets.
There are many many duplicate tips but like others, I only got this item for the laser itself (our cats LOVE it). AND BE WARNED...SOME OF THE TIPS ARE NOT CHILD FRIENDLY!!! I got one tip of a nude woman and one of a hand flipping you off.
After only 2 days of use (approx. 10 to 15 mins. each day) the battery cap popped off and now I am going to have to tape it on (if I don't hold it on pressing kind of hard the laser doesn't work).

Cheap price + cheap materials + cheap construction = Junk. Poor threading for the battery cap and the filter housing. On/off button on barrel not positioned with on/off switch of circuit board. Only plus for this, is filter caps fit other laser pointer units.

I know you get what you pay for, but I expected this to at least work for more than the single blink I got out of it. The thing is just too chintzy to function-- the battery terminal spring was bent and shorting out against the vaguely metallic coating inside. I broke the keychain off trying to screw the cap on. Some of the lenses are missing the actual film that makes the shapes.

I got this just to play with the dog with so I wasn't expecting much, just wanted it to work!

The laser pointer is reasonably bright in a plain old dot. Of the 42 heads, about 20% didn't work at all because the lens (diffraction grating, actually) wasn't glued in securely and had fallen out or was at an angle to the beam. There was also a lot of overlap with 2 and sometimes 3 of the same pattern. So indeed there are 42 heads, but don't expect 42 distinct working patterns.

The heads that did work presented a very weak pattern which is to be expected. The laser itself is so low power (read "safe") that when spread a bit there's not much energy left. In a very dark room it's fun, but the patterns really can't compete with an LCD projector.

So, if you want an inexpensive red point, then this one is worth $5 or so. But don't expect the additional heads to be of much value.

The metal is so thin that it bends when unscrewing to replace batteries (which were dead when I got it). Even with fresh batteries the light was so dim I could barely see it. I threw it IN THE GARBAGE immediately. More great stuff from overseas.

The 42 Head Laser Pointer Beam Keychain is awful. It does NOT show the images it says it shows. The images shown online are blown up by 1000%. I canNOT even tell the difference between each laser head. Only ONE laser head out of 42 actually shows a far enough laser to be of any use. It costs more to return it than it was to buy. To future buyers: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT OR FROM THIS PERSON. THE BOX LOOKED OPEN AND IT DOES NOT EVEN WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO!! THIS WAS A GIFT AND NOW I HAVE NO GIFT!!
I AM VERY UNHAPPY!!!
