These are cheap Chinese knock-offs, available at any time for less than $5 from street-vendors in any Chinese city or airport. Extending one of them into any sort of fundamental orifice would probably be fatal.

We don't know yet if the laser measure will work. Whether its utility
is destroyed or not. In fact, it seems to be working so far. I'm glad
he is posting his experiments.

That reminded me one of these was laying neglected in the store, broken
power supply ISTR.

the 14 version.
I dug it out and opened it up before trying to power up.
1978/79 CMOS and TTL and a rat's nest of after-thought/fudge flying
components, despite OEM. Mini Nixi tubes I think rather than the pre-7
segment LED, electroluminescent displays , or perhaps mini CC display,
difficult to view.
Looking at the manual the original spec was up to 60km range with
exceptionaly clear visibility it says ,and requiring one of those
multi-prism reflectors , they left on the moon.
I'd still rather mod a new replaceable DIY unit than this EDM that
should be in a museum.

I am writing from the perspective of one who must rely on accurate measurements for revenue, and whose instruments are calibrated to this end.
 
For the purposes of a hobby - that is an entirely different matter.
