I lost the screw cap to my green laser pointer (the long pen type that works with 2 AAA)?

Question

Hey, I lost the screw cap to it, now it doesn't work (well, it does when i use aluminum foil but i gotta hold it in place). I was wondering where could I get a replacement cap (if one is available or if anyone has a bright and creative idea on how make a makeshift one

Answer 1

It's probably not directly replaceable, but here's something to try:
Go buy a cheap 2-cell AAA *red* laser pen and see if that cap works on the green one. Try several different cheap red lasers and hopefully one of those caps will work.

(I'm talking about the red ones that cost less than US$10 or even less than $5.)

Answer 2

I would shove the aluminum foil in there and then try to find a plastic cap that would fit over and hold it in place.

you could also try to contact this company

Answer 3

Your aluminum foil and duct tape.

Answer 4

you can put aluminum foil in where it goes and tape it in (anything metal touching the battery will work)
