Note - this review is mini; not the herc. its the size of a heavy duty flashlight.
What I got:
Laserglow Hercules 475 - avg output 488mW, peak output 563mW
Does the beam show in bright sunlight? No, but it does with cloud cover
Does it burn holes in white paper? - Yes
Does it light matches? - I'm not going to even dignify that with a response
Does it slice branches off trees? - No
Does it pop ballons? - Yes
Does it vaporize wee beasties? Not really, just make them smoke a bit
Does it burn cardboard? -Yes, but only holes - no combustion
Does it sometimes set paper targets on fire? Yes (only 2 small accidental fires so far)
Does it light up the night sky? - No, but puts out a strong beam
Does it have duty cycle problem? No, it runs cool and strong until I get tired
Does it gobble batteries? No, using rechargeable12000mah NiMhs
Does it fit in your pocket? No, unless you are wearing cargo pants
Am I kicking myself for getting it? No, its an amazing piece of engineering and technology
