Wicked Lasers S3 Arctic Spyder III 1 Watt Blue Laser (Page 6)

More Burning - Lasers as Tools

The next test is right out of the movies. In Air Force One with Harrison Ford a marine took a hand held laser out of a tool bag and burnt right through the plastic that covered a wire. If this one works then the S3 Arctic will have a permanent spot in my tool box.

It didn't take long for the laser to start working on the wire sleeve; we had smoke coming from the wire within five seconds.

After two minutes I pulled the wire and was disappointed; no movie magic here. The wire did take some damage, but nothing to lead me to believe it would be possible to remove the sleeve with the S3 Arctic in enough time to be considered efficient.
