We start with D3O The Best Protection for You and the Things You Love

Rather than make a mess of what this product is, here’s info from the company: Known for its signature orange material, D3O® develops advanced protective solutions that are used by top brands in everything from protective clothing and headgear to gloves and phone cases. The company’s patented technology ensures unrivalled impact protection and durability, making it the go-to choice for those who prioritize safety. What sets D3O apart is its non-Newtonian properties. Unlike traditional materials, D3O remains soft and flexible during normal use but hardens upon impact, instantly absorbing and dispersing energy. This innovative science allows D3O to create highly effective shock-absorbing and antivibration products used by some of the world’s leading brands.

As you’ll see on this week’s show, it’s a patented two-part nasal dilator system. You place tabs on your nose and then apply a sturdy, magnetic relief band that works with the tabs to open your nasal passages to their widest capacity. Here’s a bit more info from the company:

Unlike classic nasal strips for snoring, the Intake relief band is worn externally and provides relief without relying on the bridge of your nose for support. This approach ensures a more comfortable experience for the user while also providing a more effective, lasting relief than classic nasal strips & nasal spray decongestants.

When I checked Target on 11/1/24 off, it said ‘item not available’, even though it was on their site two days earlier. It’s possible the new bike had not reached their warehouse yet.

Chad’s Cheap Gadget October Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons was Cheap Halloween Gadgets!

Chad’s final Cheap Halloween Gadget is the Inflatable Bear Costume.

It’s from Five Below, but it’s one of their ABOVE $5 products, priced at $15. But when you see Chad in it, I think you’ll agree, $15 was a low price for it. Chad said it was supposed to inflate in under 1 minute, and it might be a bit more than that, but it’s still very impressive. It’s said to be good for folks 5ft – 6.2ft, so it was perfect for Chad. The inflated Size is 6.69 ft tall. Requires 4 x AA alkaline batteries (not included). Chad thought this was pretty neat and the chatroom and I did too.

Update: On 11/1/24 at the link below the price had dropped to $7.50.

5. Dick’s Gadget Warehouse.

Our warehouse video this week is from John Bauer who emails us:

Hi Dick & Chad:

I must apologize, I did not shoot in landscape mode, and I don’t have a gimble. If you don’t use it, that’s OK. (From the Giz Wiz: We did use it — it was a very interesting video!)

Here is the Youtube link:   https://youtu.be/nwCZ68yk8ic

 I have kind of a gadget. It’s a “4D build R2-D2 Cardboard Model Kit “ on Amazon.   It’s like a puzzle that is 3D, not sure why it is called 4D Build. I didn’t talk over the video. This 4D puzzle was made by Spinmaster.com. My wife Lydia and I sent in a video of the large grinding wheel in Catskills, NY,  The Giz Wiz #1696 about 6 years ago, also during Halloween. Thought you might enjoy something different.

 Thanks for all the fun. John Bauer

I found that kit John featured in his video here on Amazon. Amazingly, it was under $14.00 on 11/1/24: https://amzn.to/40sDqGm

Keeping with our out of space theme from our last video – Mo found a very interesting gadget from spaceman.com. The chatroom had a lot of fun trying to guess the price of the iteme in the video on their website before we revealed it. The video on the product is toward the bottom of the page on the link below.
