Product Description:
Let the Doctor help you get all of your home and office repairs done with this Electronic Sonic Screwdriver!

After watching a few episodes of Doctor Who, how could you not want your own Sonic Screwdriver? Well, this one is decently priced and comes complete with psychic paper. It lights up blue and sounds perfect. It's the same size as the one on the show. It also has a pen built in. Batteries are included. If you're on the fence about getting one, just do it; you won't regret it.

Sonic Screwdriver.
My eight year old grandson has hardly stopped playing with the screwdiver, and it draws out his imagination as he plays with it.

Rating: - Good for uv leak detection.....
The sonic screw driver came in very handy in finding leaks when using a UV laced coolant in my car air conditioning system.... lol. if it could only do medical scans, unlock doors, ect.

When you install the batteries it requires the use of a small phillips head screwdriver... So you need a regular screwdriver to make your Sonic Screwdriver work. (And while I was doing this, I actually was thinking to myself, "Hmmm, this really could be more sonic!")

I've had this thing for about a year now, I use the regular pen nib quite often and it's currently not showing signs of running out of ink. The nib with the UV ink, unfortunately was lost.

That is the biggest issue I have with the item. The instruction pamphlet that comes with it says that you can order replacement nibs from customer service. You can not currently just order replacement nibs from Amazon, nor are they currently listed in the "Spare Parts" section of the Character-Online customer service website. (Though there are spare Dalek parts which is kind of awesome.) You have to call the company's customer service department which is in the UK. So unless you want to call long distance and pay shipping from the UK for pen nibs? Do not loose them. (This may change, I hope it does. When it does, I'll come back and up my star rating.)

Onto the good stuff!

I really love owning this thing. A few days ago I had a blackout at night and (due to a recent move) I couldn't find my flashlight, but I was using this thing to make some notes. So I used it to find my keys and my wallet to go out and buy a proper flashlight and some candles. Doing that was more fun then I should probably admit in a public forum. Secondly, the UV ink is tangentially educational. Your child likes Doctor Who, you get them this pen, they write secret messages on the psychic paper and say "Cool! How does that work?" They then become interested in what UV light is, learn all sorts interesting stuff about wavelengths and "Yay! Science if fun!"

If you're a cosplayer through, that's not really your concern. From close up and far away it looks good, it has the right moving parts, lights up and makes the noise. It comes with batteries. I don't know what more you could ask for.

Just don't misplace the pen nibs.

Good fun. Looks very much like the one on TV. Sound is close enough. I'm happy with this purchase.
