Hi All

[NeedDistance]

Just wanted to say hi.
I got the laser below from china for €13. Real cool.
10 miles Green + Star Cap 5MW 532NM Laser Pointer Pen Lazer Light Beam Zoom Burn | eBay
Pros:
throw-it-off-the-wall sturdy, powerful, bright, with star cap
Cons:
none really but if I was being a picky beggar I'd give out about the lack of instructions
Big Cons:
Someone had already burst all the bubbles of the bubble-wrap. I paid good Euro for that!!!! Fuming!

Now, I'm going to move on to building my own, when I've time ...
I'm not a 'burner' lol - I want to use the laser for stargazing and pointing in the sea
