At that price probably. Laser rust remover are a thing but they’re $$$
That’s a real technology, but it’s not $49.
This reminds me. My buddy works for a company that does a lot of the restoration and preservation work for NPS on the memorials in DC as well as countless other buildings in the capital area. They use these lasers all the time apparently. I think my buddy said I could swing my FJ62 by his shop and get it blasted and lasered.
Cool article about lasers in use.

NPS uses high-tech laser beams to clean mysterious biofilm on Jefferson Memorial dome
The once-sparkling Thomas Jefferson Memorial is noticeably blotchy. The National Park Service took ABC7 News to the dome to show the work being done to remove the dark patches of microorganisms covering much of the dome and roof. The cleanup project is costing the National Park Service around...

good find. I can't believe how widely this is advertised. Obviously a scam but hey, some people may take a risk and send the $49. With that said, I want one, just not for the 5 figures this is probably going for.

Interesting.
On a sidebar, has anyone used the stuff that is a roadsalt/brine remover?
Eastwood advertises a product, and after perusing the inter-trubes, I see there is a home-brew for the cost-conscious: baking soda and vinegar with carwash soap. I will probably try this out next month on the undercarriage, and the red-headed stepchild will be smellin' like a douche, but hopefully will not be promoting deeper rust.

I run 75 watt laser engravers at work. Close to 50 of them. The 75watt laser tube costs $3000 to replace. And that is ONE single component. NO WAY they are selling that 300 watt directed energy weapon for $49 delivered to your door. LOL

Okay, this makes a lot more sense. But $49 for that part still seems sketchy... this technology is mind boggling.
At this point lasers in mfg are old tech. What they can do is amazingly versatile. Everything from single point measurements to 3D scanning, cutting, drilling, hole making, engraving, printing, cleaning etc. not to mention a wide swath of medical applications, military etc etc. but very few fall into the $49 category....short of simple laser pointers.
