Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In other words, today I'm using nothing more than some fancy LIGHT to remove decades of dirt, paint, and rust from an old Ridgid pipe wrench.

The xTool F1 Portable Laser has both a 10W diode laser and 2W infrared laser to cut, etch, engrave, and in my case, remove rust! For these experiments, I used the 10W diode laser at 100% power.

What other experiments do you want to see using this laser? Let me know in the comments!

A huge thank you to xTool for sponsoring this video and sending me their F1 Portable Laser Engraver for free to include in this (and future) videos. Catalyst Restorations will always remain transparent in my experiences using this product and any other sponsored products now and in the future. I will never recommend something I wouldn't use myself, safely, every day in my own workshop.
