Not straight but certainly cheap
2 of 2 found this helpful For the price, you can't really complain; it is a pretty powerful laser for £3..
However, as another reviewer pointed out, the beam comes out at an angle, due to the laser diode being mounted off centre in the housing.
Not really a problem if you're making cats dance or pointing at stuff but I bought this to fashion a diy wheel alignment set up, naively imagining the laser would be parallel with the casing.
I took it apart and attempted to rectify this but the slot that holds the board would need to be widened and then packed or glued in place properly. Instead I just reassembled and refocussed it and fabricated a holder with set screws to aim it straight horizontally in relation to my wheel mounted bar, which would probably have been necessary anyway to allow it to be calibrated perfectly. The alignment set up worked a treat, perfectly matching the string line measurements, at least..
To be fair, the (photoshopped) picture of the laser in action shows it coming out askew, so you couldn't have them on the trades descriptions act.

Insanely bright indicators
INSANELY bright indicator bulbs. Like, ridiculous. I don't know what I was expecting, it said 25W each! (although every different listing for these seems to have different and conflicting specs, it's pretty random). I was still surprised though, especially so compared to the somewhat disappointing ones I bought for the rears which were meh. These are embarrassingly bright, serious. Literally painful to look at. I coded the voltage down to 9.2v and they are still insane. Not sure it made a huge difference to be honest, just took the edge off.
I wouldn't use these for the rear, personally, as the lens on the end makes the centre especially bright. It's surely a good thing to be extra visible, but actually blinding the following traffic is probably not the best idea. They make a similar one without the projector bub, which would be perfect for even spread in a reflector housing but unfortunately only in 382 base, not with offset pins 581.

Purple...?
I read some other reviews of this coolant and a few commented that it was actually green, and not the purple expected from the description.
When I received mine, sure enough it looked a dull green when viewing it through the transparent level window in the (black) bottle. One other review even said that it looked green in the bottle but was infact purple, so with this in mind I went to pour some into a clear jar to check...
Opened it up. It looked green/ grey in the bottle. Started to tip the bottle and as it got near the top, before it actually poured out, it looked a luminous green. At this point I am thinking, 'it's just going to be green, isn't it?'
Poured some into the jar... purple. Well, pink. Like that stuff they give you in the dentist. But with just a hint of holographic flourescent green ectoplasm when the light hits it. Most odd.
I am aware that the colour is, without doubt, the least important aspect of an antifreeze. However, I'm glad I bought it just for that experience.
