Hello Dick & Chad:
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a video, but I recorded this video of a key finder I’ve been considering buying for some time.
(Spoiler alert. Paul bought it and show it off in his video on this week’s show.)
Here’s the link.
From the Giz Wiz:
Esky seems to make different version of the key finder, and there are a lot of similar items over at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3eS2z7f Remember, the unit Paul bought is rechargeable, so it doesn’t require replacement batteries.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

Our email this week is from from Bruce Hill who emails us:
Subject: Master lock movement locks
On you show where you covered the master lock magnified lock, you briefly mentioned the locks that can be unlocked by moving them up down and side to side.
Be careful buying these locks as they are can be reprogrammed. They all apparently ship with the same code and need to be reprogrammed once you get them.
All you need to reprogram them is a knowledge of the current code.
Well some prankster went to my local rite aid and reprogrammed all the locks on the shelf.
Bruce Hill
(From the Giz Wiz: Maybe see if you can reset the combination before you buy the lock.)
