4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, elegant presentation pointer., June 11, 2007

This pointer is the size of a small pencil with a pocket clip. It looks and works just like an antenna for a portable radio. It extends to 25 inches. The extended length of 25" is enough for a classroom environment, but way too short for a conference environment, where it is used to point at a large screen. An extended length of 4 feet would be more appropriate for a conference.
The pointer has a rounded end, not pointed, so it is not considered a threat at airport security and I can carry it with me.
Pointing with a stick has been the traditional way of pointing for teachers during centuries. It works because the stick offers a "path" that you can follow with your eyes, and find the place being pointed at. By contrast, a laser pointer is very distracting. To find the spot, you have to scan the entire area. If the spot moves too fast, it's probably gone by the time you finish your visual scan. I recommend a stick pointer, like this one, over a laser pointer.

I needed just the right pointer for a recent drama that I was in. This worked perfectly. It fit in my pocket and extended effortlessly each time. The vendor was very helpful in getting the product to me during the time crunch that I was in. I am completely satisfied!

This review is from: Pocket Pointer, Slimline, Pen Size, Extends To 24-1/2, Chrome Finish, EA APO18001 (Electronics)

I purchased this retractable pointer specifically to train my GR. I use it to just touch her or to hold it next to her so she learns to use her rear end. It is the perfect length and size, collapses down to carry in the training bag to class or to keep in my pocket. For my needs it was perfect - doesn't wash well (lost the tip) so remember to take it out of your pocket before you wash your jeans.
