Pointer Plus by TENS PLUS

This device is very simple, and well assembled. It has done exactly what I need it to do time and time again.

I've owned two Pointer Plus point locator/stimulators over the past 20-30 years and both worked beautifully. They were ordered through Qi Magazine. The one--my third-- sold by TENS PLUS is JUNK! It was a real struggle to finally get the battery which came with the product INTO the battery compartment. Once I jammed in, the pointer/locator worked as it should. But since I don't leave batteries in devices like this, I tried to remove it. This was also a major operation. I finally got the battery out and wondered if perhaps a brand name 9-volt battery would be easier to insert. It was only slightly easier to insert than the battery that came with the order. But since the supplied oversized battery had been an even tighter squeeze, I found that that battery had pushed the pos/neg contacts of the device further up into the device--so that when the brand new brand name battery was inserted, the contact points between the new battery and the device were far less robust than they should've been...resulting in a very weak connection--rendering the device very week. With the new brand name battery inserted, both the sound and the intensity of device were only about 20-25% of what they were when the supplied battery was jammed in. If this is typical of the Pointer Plus devices being sold by this seller, don't waste your money. Even if you are able to jam the oversized battery in, when it comes time to replacing that battery with a brand name battery, the device will operate in a very weakened state. And to top it all off, the when you try to return the defective unit, you're told it is INELIGIBLE TO BE RETURNED! (UPDATE: I phoned Amazon Support after posting this review and they have promised to reimburse me if the seller doesn't satisfactorily resolve this situation.)

The description says it comes with a 9 volt battery. It does not. The first one did not, nor did it have the second tip, and the wires etc, and other pieces did not appear to be in a condition that would indicate that it was new. The second one did not come with a battery either but it did have all of its parts and was in a condition that would indicate that it was new. I haven’t decided yet if it actually is effective because I think there is a learning curve on how to use it. It does seem to relieve a bit of pain if I hit the right spot and it does last for a bit so I am hopeful. I’ve decided to keep the second one and try it out with my own battery but it is a bit disappointing. If I get the hang of the darn thing I’ll repost this review.

This is a replacement.So that said I really like this device for electric acupuncture.

Item arrived on time and was exactly as described. I would purchase from this from seller again and recommend them to others. It works at relieving nerve pain.

Fake medical product, doesn't work, it makes a sound so I guess you know its turned on but there's no electrical feeling or any kind of comforting feeling when it touches my skin.

Good

Had to send back.. didn't work. Waiting for replacement to come it. Been 2weeks
