The 3 in 1 Laser/LED Flashlight/Pen is exactly that: a red laser pointer, a (very bluish!) white LED flashlight, and a retractible tip ballpoint pen; all wrapped up in one handy-dandy instrument.

The device runs on three LR-41 button cells, contained inside the upper part of the pen. It comes in a handsome two-tone metal case, which has a slightly shiny blue finish with chrome accents.

The ballpoint pen writes in black ink, and the writing quality is similar to or slightly better than ordinary disposable Bic pens. I'm not a pen expert though, and I do not play one on TV or on the internet, so I'm not really qualified to rate this part of the instrument.


 SIZE



To use the pen portion, grasp the barrel by the chrome ring in the center with one hand, and twist the writing-end of the barrel with the other, clockwise (as if tightening it) to extend the pen tip.
Perform the same action except twist the writing-end of the barrel counterclockwise (as if loosening it) to retract the pen tip.

To use the LED, press the lower button on the barrel and hold it in to turn it on; release the button to turn it off.

To use the laser, press the upper button on the barrel and hold it in to turn it on; release the button to turn it off.

This instrument comes with a pocket clip, allowing you to carry it clipped into a shirt or pants pocket, reducing the chance that you'll lose it when carried that way.



To change the batteries in this instrument, hold it so the laser and LED openings are facing the floor. Unscrew the two halves of the pen, and set the writing portion aside.

Tip the three used LR-41 button cells out of the barrel and into your hand, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.

Stack three new LR-41 button cells on top of one another on a flat surface like a table or counter, button-end (-) negative facing up.

Lower the upper portion of the pen directly over the cells, and slide it to the edge. Place your thumb or a finger over the end so the cells just don't fall out and clatter to the floor when the pen passes the edge of the table or counter. Invert (flip over) the pen and your thumb or finger simultaneously, and remove your thumb or finger from the opening.

Screw the lower portion of the pen onto the upper portion.
There. Fun yeah!

Product failed completely when I attempted to perform current usage measurements; it took quite a bit of fv¢k¡ñg around with to get it functioning again so that I could perform spectroscopy of its LED and diode laser.



This instrument is reasonably durable, but because it has a laser in it, I won't do the smack test on it. I know you love to see me break things, but ain't gonna happen today, folks.
Lasers are meant to be loved, not punished.

This is also not a flashlight meant to be used every bloody day, thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't try to drown it in the cistern ( toliet tank), bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a front porch in effort to try and expose the bare Metalwhamon - er - the bare Metalkoromon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalbeelzemon...er...uh...wait a sec here...THE BARE METAL (guess I've been watching too much Digimon again! - now I'm just making {vulgar term for feces} up!!!), let my mother's big dog's ghost or my sister's kitty cats spring a leak (uranate) on it, hose it down with a gun, run over it with a 450lb Quickie Pulse 6 motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a medium ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piñata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central {aka. "Party Central"}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. So this section of the web page will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.

Water-resistance is minimal at best. When the business-end was suctioned, air had no problems whatsoever passing through it. So please try not to drop it in creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, oceansides, docksides, puddles of Main coon cat pee (what - no kitty litterbox?), slush piles, mud puddles, tubs, toilet bowls, cisterns, sinks, fishtanks, dog water dishes, or other places where water or water-like liquids might be found.

If it fell in water and you suspect it got flooded, disassemble it as you would for a battery change, dump out the water if necessary, and set the parts in a warm dry place for a couple of days or so just to be sure it's completely dry inside before you reassemble and use it again.

If it fell into seawater, got thrown into a glass of milk, if it fell in a root beer float, if somebody squirted a Massengill brand post-menstrual disposable douche or a Fleet brand phospho-soda disposable enema at it (and hit it with the douche or the enema), or if somebody or something got "pist off" at it and subsequently "pyst" on it, rinse all the parts out with fresh water before setting them out to dry. You don't want your 3 in 1 Laser/LED Flashlight/Pen to smell like seaweed, sour milk, flowers, fresh butts, or rotten piss when you go to use it next. Besides, salt (from seawater, disposable douches, disposable enemas, or poddy), lactic acid (from moo juice), glycerol (from antifreeze), or sugar (from root beer & ice cream) can't be very good for the insides.

At least two beam cross-sectional analyses would normally appear here, but the ProMetric System
that I use for that test was destroyed by lightning in mid-July 2013.
