I bought it for use in my practice as a school psychologist. As pointers they are great. I also find them sturdy and inexpensive. But in these days of 'everything Covid related' I bought these specifically to minimize student exposure to printed materials and to be thoroughly cleaned/sanitized between each use and they fill that need perfectly. The only reason I only gave them 4 stars is that they are too long for my purpose and had to be trimmed.
