Digital camera reviews of Red Laser Pointer High Quality
Digital camera Review: Red laser Nice
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice Laser pointer... looks nice on your shirt pocket. For the price ya can't beat it!Digital camera Review: Great alternative to a classic laser pointer for cats
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like others who have left reviews, bought this laser pointer as an alternative to your standard "cat toy" pointers. The only downside is that it can become uncomfortable to press the button for extended periods of time. This device has found other uses also, (like scaring geese behind the apartment over 100 yards away). If you are in the market for a red laser pointer, for a pet or another use, do not hesitate to purchase this one. The case that came with mine is actually metal and quite durable. I have yet to regret purchasing this item, and have no reservation in recommending it to others.Digital camera Review: Good laser, but questioning the "High Quality" claim.

I ordered two lasers from MPO. To my surprise, two days after ordering it showed up at my postal office this morning. Both lasers came in a nice foam lined case. My one issue with the red laser is the build quality. It's about as good as a cheap $.99 laser from the dollar store. When I was unscrewing the battery case, the threading seemed to fit snugly, until I ACTUALLY LOADED THE BATTERIES. The battery housing is about 2 millimeters too short to house both AAA batteries. This results in the housing popping off after jaring it slightly. And when I actually managed to get it to fit snugly, I noticed the housing was getting REALLY hot. The negative contact spring had managed to make contact with the outer metal housing carrying the positive current, resulting in full shortage. I was able to correct this by trimming the spring down a bit, and bending it into the center of the housing with some needle nose pliers. Also, placing a small bit of electrical tape around the seem between both halves of the laser keeps it from jiggling around too much.
Now, the laser diode itself is actually quite impressive. It's much brighter than other red lasers I've purchased in the past. The beam is actually visible in the air in mild darkness. This is pretty rare among red lasers. Also, has a reasonably long range, about one to two city blocks. So, I'd say this is a pretty good laser! However, the "High Quality" claim is boldly questionable.
Digital camera Review: Good, with querks though
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this laser as a cat toy and a gerneral purpose laser for teasing friends. Right out of the box the laser worked flawlessly, it was night time and I could easily see the laser on the side of a house about 600 feet away. However after about three weeks use the button used to click the laser on starts to need a harder press to turn on the laser almost to the point where it can hurt your finger to press it, then you feel like your damaging the laser somehow. After about two months daily use with cats the back cap that you screw on the hold the batteries became extremely hot way to hot to touch, needed rag to get it off. I haven't had that experience since, so about one time in four months of ownership. Some days you pick it up and it works great other days the button decides not to work half the time you press it. Batteries life is great except that the laser only used the energy from one battery then died, I checked the charge on both batteries one was like new the other completely out, just needed to replace the one battery. Overall a decent laser mine still works just about 1/4 of the time when the button is pressed it wont shine,
more of a hassle than an actual problem. Decent laser for a good price.
Digital camera Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I just wanted a simple laser pointer for a good price. This is exactly that. It's great that it uses regular batteries - the last pointer I had used watch batteries which are expensive in comparison.
