The right laser pointer depends on the task you are using it for. Long range jobs require lasers with higher levels of collimation. Tasks that require visible beams may require green laser pointers for night viewing, and everyday home tasks need lower power levels to ensure safety.

Buying a laser pointer was once an easy decision, but now it requires a bit more research. What's better: a green laser or a blue laser? What about a yellow laser? Are red lasers even worth a second glance in 2010?

You may catch a reflection that could be just like shining it right into your eye. If you're serious about your high power Red Laser take a minute and a few bucks and invest in some safety goggles (the lenses should be the opposite color of the laser beam), and never use the laser at eye level.
