Chad’s Crappy Corner
On this week’s show we learn Chad’s New Cheap Gadget Theme for November, as voted on by our loyal Patreons, is Cheap eBay or 2nd Hand Gadgets!
For his first Cheap 2nd Hand Gadget Chad bought the Sock Slider at Goodwill.
The idea of this gadget is that it is supposed to let you put your socks on without bending, kneeling or stretching. The one Chad bought was missing a piece, but Chad said it should still work. However, as you’ll see on this week’s show, this didn’t work work well, or even at all. At Walmart you can buy a brand new one for under $18. Chad paid $6.00 for his used one, but felt it wasn’t even worth that price.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our video this week is from Rowel C.
Rowel had see those “as seen on TV” commercials for Wonder Hangers, and writes us:
I didn’t want to buy that TV product because I read a number of reviews that said the plastic wonder hanger would often break from the weight of the clothes. So the makers of the “Wonder Hanger” made a “Wonder Hanger Max”. This version is stronger since it’s made of metal. My coat rack has 2 metal wonder hangers ; each has 6 slots and each takes 3 “S” hooks so that’s a lot of weight they have to hold for coats and jackets and handbags.

Here’s Rowell’s video with a great solution for holding lots of coats. https://youtu.be/Ezqh3EIk7VQ
