It's now 28.22 instead of 25.8 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Do you think it's still worth getting?
How about the quality?
 





Actually $2.42 and shipping is still freeeeeeee...  I ordered another one yesterday

Mike
 
umm... a what now? what's only $3? if Mike's getting 'em, chances are I wanna get on that wagon. ;D
 
yea kd raised price on 50 mw pen "BILLY" about three bucks also
both units are still way worth it for now eveything good always comes to an end
 
At first they actualy lowered the price from $26.31 to $25.8, now they raised it a bit again.

The laser is still definatelly worth it, even if you would have to buy two to get a really good one. But usually you don't.
I have three, and one of them is peaking at 72-76mW, averaging at 65mW for like five minutes at a time, before it drops below 50. Another was starting at 42 and climbing to 60 as it would heat up. Unfortunatelly i killed two of them (my mistake), and will be using them as hosts for 200mW green lasers, because they can provide great heatsinking, compared to pen lasers..


About the quality, it sometimes has some minor contact problems, which can be solved with some cleaning of the insides, and sometimes a solder "blob" or two on the switch.

Oh, and it doesn't really work that well on the included primary cell, especially since it sometimes comes half empty. But you can get rechargable 3V Li-Fe-PO CR2 cells (green) on KaiDomain as well, which really make the best out of this laser, without pushing it too far. Just don't use 3.6V rechargable Li-Ion cells (blue), because they can kill it instantly (but you can not get them at KD anyway). Make sure you buy a charger, that has a 3V setting. In the end you're gonna save money this way, compared to using primaries and the output can be almost double compared to the primary.


The KD50 is still one of my favourite lasers and the best thing - it's almost free. Well now it's almost free + $2.4.. ;)

Often bad. When they have stuff in stock, it is fast, when they don't it's slow. And they don't tell you when it ships, but you can see it in your account.

Oh, and i just measured the fourth KD50, that i bought for a friend. It would seem they put out 26-30mW if it is a "bad" one and 50-70mW if it's a good one. He got a bad one and is giving it away, after i clean it a little. After that i have to order two more for him, so that he can keep the best one, and give the other away again.
 
I waited for the first one about a month. The second two arrived in a week and a half, the fourth in two weeks.

As i said, it depends if they are in stock.
 
This is BS >:( Lasers should go down in price.....Technology is supposed to get cheaper as it gets older....I'm gonna sell my ati radeon for $500 because it's an antique and belongs in a museum :P
 
It's even funnier, that they have it listed as a new arrival.
