EDIT: This post is no longer valid. As often happens, as a noob I expect one thing and when it isn't exactly what I thought, I look for something else.
I have since come to really like my SL 445 and am not looking to get rid of it at all. Thanks for looking.
Old post below.....
Let me explain, I just got this and it is evil. I have a laser bee A and it metered at 1.238 W. You almost expect to hear a lightsaber sound when it lights up, or hear the air sizzling or crackling when it is on. 445 is an intense beam at this power. And I am thrilled with the quality and workmanship.
So why would I trade it?
I love that it burns, that is fun - but I really like shooting distant objects. This laser can do that well, but as anyone knowledgeable here will tell you, this type of laser has a thicker beam with some divergence.
I am in search of TIGHT, crisp beams with low divergence and super small round dots.
I am willing to give up some power to do this. 200-300 mW is pretty intense in a good laser and 500 mW is awesome in any color I've seen so far!
So I would be interested in a laser with decent power and incredible beam specs if anyone would like to horse trade.
I'm relatively new here, but several members can already vouch for me...
RHD is practically my dealer right now. I've purchased three from him up in the great white north.
I have ordered a couple of products from Clif at Cajun lasers (including my favorite so far, a simple 60mW green pen with a nice beam!)
I've ordered from Swimnsurfer and Jerry with Laser Bee.
DJNY, JayRob, and others.
Plus I have a very public profile. Almost anything you see with "tsteele93" is me.
My Facebook is /tsteele93
I have tsteele93.com
Etc...
I'm trustworthy and reliable and you have nothing to fear in a trade. I would also be willing to use a middle man if necessary.
Anyway, I'm getting the cart ahead of the horse. First let's see if there is anything worth trading away a fun, well-built burner (blew my family away when they saw it!) to get or not.
