The ONLY thing in my WHOLE LIFE thats been luck is Tattoo!I couldn't even explain all the circumstances that fell into place and began my career 27 years ago. It's the only way i could ever even dream about the toys i have. I can't imagine how evrybody else can afford these kinda toys because i have a dream job and still gotta work work work. So what? Anyhow it's a very strong beam, seems very tight and will INSTANTLY burn lily white skin! My Aries is no joke at well over 100 mw, but to get stung quick you have to have Tattoos and point at the dark parts.Along with matches and baloons Carter also included a red keychain laser and a couple diffraction grates. i had a couple of the diffraction thingies that i got out of some dang thing i took apart. i saved em because they are kinda cool to play around with and i found out a long time ago not to throw something out just because i don't know what it's for. Nobody gets dumber as time passes and all the stuff i save will get put into some project or another when my knowledge catches up to my pile.I haven't really checked out what kind of distances the RPL is capable of lighting matches/popping baloons but i do know it's too too much for inside without my glasses(laser safety glasses).I like that the key is removable when in use and i LOVE that there is no timer delay!You better have motor skills if you use the adjustable cap and a small screwdriver is a good idea. i'm gonna play with it right now. I'm pretty sure i wrote the Lord's Prayer on the moon last night, so now i think i'm gonna go burn off all these clouds cause i don't like the rain.hahaha this thing is soooo cool, if i ever hit the lottery i'll buy 75 or 100 of em and give em to the rest of you! (so cross yer fingers)
