My Review of "Overspec 5mw"

The ones sold by the forum member in the buy trade section for $12.50.
I got two. I'm still a noob so bear with me. The beam profile on both looks great to me. One starts strong and gets weaker as it gets warm, the other starts weak and gets strong. The one that starts weak and gets stronger will not burn anything. It will make a thin spot in a trash bag but not go through. The one that starts strong will go through black trash bag in about 2 seconds (inch or two away). The hole is needle sized. It is also unpleasant to view the spot on lighter colored surfaces. It doesn't "hurt" or cause you to see spots, your instincts and laser paranoia just tell you its unwise. Probably not safe for indoor use without glasses unless you are sure its aimed towards a matte surface.

I don't know how the buttons will hold up but overall the host seems fairly sturdy. A lot better than I expected them to be for the price.

Great review for a noob. Do you have pics?

I'll do you one better.

I played with it a bit more, it will poke holes in electrical tape but it gets hot long before it would be able to cut it. The power goes way down when it gets hot. Its probably got about 15 or 20 seconds run time before its power goes away. The weaker pointer has no such problem. Are no matches in the house but I dont have high hopes for that. The reason it cuts what it can is because its so thin, the holes it makes are incredibly small like pin holes.
