The Cybertechnology Tool Laser costs about 5k and is described as being
used for small cuts and weldings, so how much for an equivelent hand-held
version and how much for the good stuff?

NOTE: Cyberspace(TM) from ICE lists a laser cutter/welder as .5 kg and
$150 and a heavy cutter/welder as 1 kg and $250 as a reference:
Standard Tools $80
Electronics Toolkit $150
Mechanics Toolkit $100
Generic Clothing $30
Dress Clothing $200-$20,000
Cell phone $50
Arm $300
Leg $250
NOTE: Cyberspace(TM) uses US dollars for currency.
