Hello!
Need a RELIABLE pointer! Something that will work every click, that will last more than 2 years, if painted the paint will not peel off.
Story for those who are bored:
I'm an absolute newb here and I fear that this post will incense some users... my intentions are good and I'm requesting advice because I'm starting to become frustrated.
A year ago I purchased a green <5mW green laser pointer from a store in Toronto called the Efston Science store. It worked fine at first. An executive from the "home country" of the (rather large) company I worked for loved the green pointer and purchased one from that same store. Mine was a chrome finish, his a black finish. The paint on his started flaking after a month. Now his is entirely inoperative and mine works intermittently (the button works, two seconds later it doesn't, need to shake it, decidedly a bad contact).
I did a bit of research (including on here) and acquired the E1 executive laser from Wicked Lasers. Out of the box, they have the same problem the 'no name' ones from Efston did and work intermittently. I also got an E2 for a friend and the paint finish is so bad that I'm returning all of them (although it's been 2 weeks and still haven't gotten an 'RMA' number from them, but I digress).
All of this for this question:
Which brand has solid, well-built, reliable and dependable class 3A presentation-suitable green laser pointers? I don't mind paying a little more for a better product.
Please help!
