Giz Wiz Show #1997, Thursday July 18th, 2024.
Wow! We’re in year 19 of The Giz Wiz Show! (So, big deal.)
The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006! If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we have zero ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page. There’s a PayPal link there too. Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.
We Start The Show With Three Gadgets From The Holiday Gift Guide Show
Dog ID was showing the Schitty Kit. Yep, that’s the real name. And as they write on their website here are: The Nitty Gritty Schitty Details: After your pup has delivered the goods, secure the delivery and neatly tuck the Poopy Bag into the silicone inner liner of your Schitty Kit and poof! It disappears into the ether of an alternate, smell-proofing universe until you decide to neatly dispose of it after your adventure. Each kit comes with one roll of 15 Poopy Bags to get you started on your elevated dog walking journey. Eliminate embarrassment (for you and your pooch) and become the envy of the entire dog park! $29.99

A Different Kind Of Misting Fan From Worx.
At the Gift Guide Show I told the folks at WORX I had done reviews of lots of misting fans, and if cover their new fan if it had something different. Well, it does. Their Cordless Misting Fan has 3 Speeds & 3 Mist Settings like many others, BUT it also features adjustable base that effortlessly attaches to a wide range of common bucket sizes (9.45″ – 13.78″). Simply latch the fan on the water-filled bucket rim and dropped the attached hose into water. The fan’s 60° head can direct the spray a misting distance of 15 feet with max lateral coverage of 8.5 feet! Uses the same Power Share battery (sold separately) that can be used with more than140+ power tools, outdoor power equipment, and lifestyle products from the Power Share platform. Runs up to 8 hours on the lowest setting. Or use the included AC charger to run continuously. $99.99 for the unit w/o charger and battery.

It’s Easy To Get Steamed!
When I saw the Clorox 2-Tier Electric Steam Sanitizer, I figured it used, well Clorox. But it doesn’t. The spokesperson explained that this device is a steam cleaner and sterilizer that reaches deep into fabrics, cracks and crevices for thorough sensitization, and it only needs water. no need to throw away your sponges too soon or use wasteful paper towels to clean up messes. Use a single tier to do if you just have a few items, or stack both tiers to sanitize several items at the same time. The process takes about 12 to 14 minutes and the unit automatically turns off when sanitizing is complete. MSRP: $49.99.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad’s New July Cheap Gadget Theme, voted on and picked by our loyal Patreon members is “Gadgets For The Outdoors & Backyard Fun”. On this show Chad demos what it’s like to put sun lotion on your back when no one is around to help. He applies it with the Bearback Lotion Applicator for Back & Body. It’s a long handled applicator that unfolds for a longer reach. It comes with two washable, reusable, replaceable rollers. Apply the lotion to the rollers and roll away. Chad liked this and a did good job putting sun tan lotion on his bare back as you’ll see. Chad pointed out that you can buy additional interchangeable attachments like a back scratchier, dry body brush or even one for a self back massage. Chad paid $29.99 for his, but it might be less if you’re an Amazon Prime member. I’m a member and when I checked the price, it was $23.99 on 7/19/24.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our video this week is from Rachel Ziese, a big fan of the show and very, very welcome and frequent guest in our chatroom.
A few weeks before we recorded this show, I did a spot about the Chalk Hair Coloring Comb. I had hoped it would be a lot of fun and work well, but it didn’t. Rachel emailed Chad & I that hair coloring wax works much better. She sent a photo and then a few days later a complete video on how she uses Hair Wax.
Here’s here short note: I made a quick video showing it in action if you want to share that. Rachel.
And indeed we are sharing it: https://youtu.be/IXvEgbuV9tY
When I asked about her favorite brand, Rachel responded:
I have gotten several different hair waxes and all the ones that use the same images seem to be the same. –Rachel

Email of the week!
Hi Dick,
This showed up in my feed today. (Link below) I’ve seen adjustable glasses before but they always look comical. These actually look like regular glasses. I’m tempted but I just spent all my spare cash on prime day. I’m curious what you guys think.
Plus the beginning of the video is hilarious . Linda Norman
