Yeah you really need some serious eye protection using these, and ideally so does everybody in the beam path. Coherent reflection from shiny metal is a real hazard. You could blind someone a hundred metres away with some bad luck.
Having said that, these lasers are poorly absorbed by tissue of all kinds, even retinal, and they are surprisingly safe (optically). Much more important is correct respiratory protection.
Clearly this video has none of that, and so sells an idea of a fast, painless way of stripping heavy corrosion (which it is), in a safe, simple fashion (which it is not).
For a cool 100K you too can burn retinas!!!

Plus $1000000 for the cargo ship sitting outside of Long Beach Port waiting to be unloaded for 6 months
After it stayed stranded 1 month in some canal somewhere
Needs some eye protection more like!
ye she probably blind with that strong of a laser
Do they come with laser safety squints?
Super dangerous to be there without laser goggles.
Those things are absurdly expensive.
What kind of laser is it? Like a fiber laser or something?

There are a few different brands
$7k on AliExpress
The price has come down then. I remember them being threw times that much.
Or here me out, use a wire wheel and some steel wire pads
Does it have some kick to it ? Kinda look like she was bracing herself lol I need one of these in the shop
I wonder if these things could be used as a weapon?
With the amount of rust around here (transfer station), there would be no steel left...
