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 Started The Show With A Very Useful, Very Inexpensive Little Gadget!

Meet The ‘3 in 1 Gap Cleaning Brush Set”

This 3 in 1 bottle brush with U-shaped silicone brush, stranded slit brush and stiff bristle corner brush, makes it easier to clean coffee cups or machine, tea cups, milk bottles, ice grids, molds, peelers, etc. The shape and size of the brush head is not only a crevice cleaning brush, but also particularly suitable for cleaning the gaps in the cup lid, and the silicone brush head can easily clean the mouth of the glass, ensuring that every drink is fresh. I found it’s also good for cleaning the hair out of Conair hair trimmer and for under the fingernails. Amazingly, they were in a package of 3 for $4.99 on Amazon as of the night of 7/12/24, but it could change at any time.

Branded Nimetrid, this under cabinet light boasts a smart HD LED screen. So it’s not only for lighting, but it has a clock and a timing function. If also features a hand wave or motion sensor to turn the light on and off. It’s USB-C rechargeable and has the company says it has 4000mAh battery. Be aware though that the built-in clock is set for 24 hour military time and I see nothing in the instructions that lets you reset it to a 12 hour clock. (The company didn’t help when I emailed them.) Also with the timer function, it beeps just 6 times and it’s not very loud to let you know the time is up. The screen can show the remaining battery and battery charging progress. It can run on battery power or stay plugged in with the USB-C cable. The company says the light will be a bit brighter when plugged in. The most amazing thing about this light is that as of 7/11/24 it was on Amazon for $5.99. I paid about $18 several weeks ago and thought that was an amazing price back then. But wow, $5.99??? It was still that price the night of 7/12/24, but could change at any time!

Chad’s New July Cheap Gadget Theme, voted on and picked by our loyal Patreon members was Cheap Music Gadgets!! At least it was that almost up to the time we recorded the show. But right before the show, the poll winner changed. Chad already bought a musical gadget for the soon-to-be-recorded show, so we did that theme last week only. But for the rest of July, Chad will do the real winner: “Gadgets For Backyard Fun”.

And what could more backyard fun that the “Strongest Electric Water Pistol!” Chad liked the strong power and large water output. You’ll see his demo on this week’s show. He was less happy after he started using it because that it almost looked like it could look like a real gun. He wished he had bought a different color or that there was more orange markings on the version he did buy. Chad liked the motion of the gun when it was firing, but was not crazy about having to remove a screw to get to the rechargeable battery. However the company says: “Using a 1200mAh large-capacity rechargeable battery, it can play continuously for 3 hours when fully charged.” It comes with 2 different water storage tanks. Chad paid $29.99 but suggests picking a brighter ‘non-gun’ color like the blue version shown on the box in the photo.

Our video this week is from James Dodd, who emails us:

Hi Dick and Chad

This is my second video to you.  Last time I was living in Arizona and showed my pool cleaning remote control boat.  Since then I have relocated to Bentonville, Arkansas to work in corporate accounting at the world’s largest retailer.  

My new video is for a gadget I wasn’t quite sure would be worth the cost. I, of course, found it on  Walmart.com at a reasonable price.   

I hope you like my video: https://youtu.be/zPorsiwgALQ

Giz Wiz note: James purchased this for his blind dog. He said his dog doesn’t seem to mind it. It fits well and doesn’t prevent him from eating or drinking.

Email of the week!

Last week The Giz Wiz talked about a Chalk Comb which didn’t work very well. In chat Rachel said: “Hair Wax works much better”.

And a day or so later, Rachel sent this email:

Hey Dick & Chad:  

i have a gray streak in my hair that I use the hair wax in. Red and a little blue for the 4th.
