Hi folks, Been a while since I visited. I'd like to know if anyone has used this laser rust remover. Like to get a review or two before purchasing one. any input will help. Thanks.

I saw the ads for them too, was wondering about how well it works myself. Saw one listed online for $40, cheap enough to take a chance on, even if it doesn't work well.

That the same one I saw, it's 39.99 free shipping. maybe I'll give it a shot. Will post results.

We were working at Sikorsky Helicopter...They had a entire building where they refurichoppers.. they had one of those lasers. Pretty amazing results.

Here's a video...pretty amazing results. My first thought is that they are potentially very dangerous...I'm betting you could lose a finger or a hand pretty quickly; not to mention what they could do to your eyes. I'm betting some special safety equipment would be in order.

The video I saw (not the one posted) shows going directly over human fingers, no harm. Not sure I'd try that, but I'd be careful with exposure to skin, and definitely eyes.

I would be a bit skeptical about the $40 version. That same article where that video appears says the cost is a LOT more than that.

The article is 2 years old. I'm not trying to say that the price on the $480k unit in the video has dropped to $40 in that time, but it would be interesting to get a "current price" on that unit.

Pretty cool stuff!!

That is what I found too Mendonsy $50,000 to $80,000.

Does anyone have a link for the $40 one? I just Googled it and nothing relevant popped up.

the real ones are more like $100,000 for a couple hundred watts... link for the 40 dollar ones?

Our job at Sikorsky was to install some really..expensive material over the observation room glass. This allowed people to watch the laser room as it was in operation. Material for that project was in the 80.00 per square foot range, if memory serves me correctly

Here's the $40 one I found... likely order one just for the heck of it.

As tempting as that is to order, there's something kind of hokey about that website. It scrolls kind of strangely, there were no decimals when I added one to my "cart". There is a "subtotal" and a "total" with different numbers, but nothing showing shipping costs or anything else that would account for the discrepancy. If you have a giftcard that you could use as a credit card on the site, I might try it. But I'm not sure I'd use a credit card with a $5000 limit on the site. Sure, you can get your money back from the credit card company, but it could be a hassle.


Also, if you look at the video on the website showing how that thing works, at the end of the video they show the same piece that's in the video linked to earlier.


Be sure to post up if you order one and it arrives. Actually, PM me before you post so I can get one of my own before the rest of the guys reading this thread get one!!

Found this when I googled the website. Someone else was looking for a $39 rust remover...

My pleasure!:thumbsup:

Actually, I looked for my own benefit too. I'd love to have something like that. I have several things around here that I could use that tool on.
