Dunno about that one (astronomical pointer?), but my cat goes mental when I shine a low powered on on the floor. Even more fun when I point it at the ceiling

To point at the seagulls on my neighbours roof that wake me up at 5.30 every damn morning, heard they're not keen on it and a lazers not half as noisy as a shotgun.

a case of 'mines bigger than yours' syndrome? Surely we must all be used to that now on this site. Bigger engines into small cars that don't need them etc

the beam sort of widens out to about 6ft by the time its gone a mile, but it can still light up boats in the clyde

And those cnuts that insist on using the parent and child spaces with invisible kids. I want to burn their cars!

However:
"This is not a cheap copy from china it is made in Singapore"

The difference being?

Also it would make an awesom light saber in this fog

If it's really 7w power, that's insane

Mind you I wouldn't expect it to last long if it really does have that power consumption. Most lasers of that power are not "hand-held"!


Can't argue with the fact it's an awesome gadget though!

"They should of made this thing illegal thats how poweerful and dangerous it is, these lasers are used by the military etc and never hardly go on sale to the public."

Should have, not should of I hate that and never hardly go on sale like hardly ever. I bet he nicked it from his college lecturer who was using it as a pointer. There was one idiot who used to shine a red one through our window as the bus went past but thankfully they changed the route.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I thought all petrol heads did that? I certainly do, to avoid the other #%$@s in the supermarket that think nothing of letting their kids open their doors into my pristine paintwork.

Although to be fair I only do it in the evening, my theory being that any kid that needs a buggy should be in bed by then anyway. Any other time I'll go to the other end of the car park and park across two spaces.

Makes my blood boil, especially when the gits have parked under a 6x8 foot YELLOW sign saying "Parent and child parking"

It's not that I can't get him out in the confines of a normal space, it's that the extra foot or so of room means I'm not putting dings into your door and my little boy isn't wandering across a busy car park. I persume it's not illegal but it should be!

It's not even that they're the closest spaces, I do think some people park there with the intention of annoying others

One day someone's going to get windows broken... mainly because it's every time I go anywhere!

I'm with ninehigh on the parking bay thing, and I don't have any kids. If they're fored to park in the little spaces they'll ding other peoples cars.

How much of that add do you trust to be true about the capabilities? And if it's all true why is it so cheap?
