Alright my SD card in my camera basically imploded so there are no pics, but Im writing a basic review for the Infinity Series 55mW laser from Techlasers
I ordered it off Techlasers.com for 133 bucks USD. It came in the mail 4 days after i ordered it. Fast shipping-but for $25 i did not expect anything less-even from China.
The package was a standard USPS package type. I opened it up and found a blue cardboard board box with the words "TechLasers" on it. The box felt flimsy and cheaply made. There were no dents or dings in it, so shipping took care of it, but i felt that a bad blow somewhere could have hurt the laser. After opening the box a few times, it started making crinkling sounds and is now hanging on by a thread. Overall, the box is cheaply made. The case my 5mW ebayser came in was made 4 times better.
The laser itself was not bad. It came with 2 batteries in which i quickly put in my drawer and switched for my Ni-Mh's. The laser came with a sticker with a black dot on it. I personally didnt like this "feature" as, upon testing, the laser pretty much went through it. I felt someone might turn the laser on and look into the aperture, only o see a beam burn through a cheap, black sticker and into their eyes.
Anyways, he laser itself was a nice, sleak CNI type model. It easily smokes black leather from a few feet on freshly charged batteries and slices through electrical tape. Ive yet to buy balloons but id bet they stand now chance up close.
The unit is very stable and has not mode shifted on me to date. It takes a few seconds to warm up-but thats only because my room has an average temp of 50 degrees F-as i hate heat and love fresh air-even in the winter
I dropped it once from waist height and i have not felt a difference to date. Ive used it for about.....guessing here.... maybe 10 hours of continuous use from when i received it back in December.
Its still going good and Im happy, SO FAR, to say i got a good deal from TechLasers. They Customer service sucks, but their prices are good.
Bottom Line:
If you have the cash-go for a Nova or a company a bit more high quality. But if you are looking for a high powered laser at the cheapest prices on the internet-TechLasers is probably your best place to go price-wise.
Disclaimer:
I know im probably going to get flamed to hell from this as TEch has a horrible rep here, but this review is what I have WITNESSED thus far. Ill do an update in a few months to show how durable and long lasting it is, but other than that, this is it. Ill also try to get some pictures uploaded, but im not a photography expert so they will probably suck.
