Title: Nice, cheap laser
Product review: I was looking for a laser to use for presentations that takes AAA batteries instead of button batteries. I saw some "military grade" green laser pointers for sale, but this was less expensive and not too bulky. (I don't worry about how I look holding a small flashlight in my hand in class). As others have noted, there is only one control: you hit a button once to turn on the flashlight and twice to turn on the laser; hit it a third time to turn off. It comes with a nice nylon case and a small strap. It fits nicely in my palm. The light is bright and the laser point does tend to widen a little (although I don't have the "galaxy" pattern that someone else mentioned) with distance, but that makes it easier to see for presentations. One problem I've noted is that the button can get pressed accidentally in my bag--this happened once and nearly drained the batteries, so I had to replace them. It takes 3 AAA batteries that fit into a cartridge in the handle.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
