Laserson probe

The Laserson probe is a tool used for the modification or repairing of just about any form of electronic technology, or if the need arises a weapon as well. It is both very powerful and very precise summed up in one phase: "It can punch a fist-hole in six-inch armor plate or take the crystals from a snowflake one by one". Taren Capel used it to modify the Sandminer robots to kill, to try and burn out the Doctor's brain, and the Doctor then used it as a weapon against the Robots.
