Giz Wiz Show #1977, Thursday February 29, 2024
This show is show #2 of year 19!! And we celebrate with a brand new set designed by OMGChad himself!
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.

Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.
I love Puck Lights, I love Sunset Lights — Can We Combine Them?
Turns out you can now relax with a sunset anytime you want with these LED sunset projection lights! just stick ’em anywhere & touch ‘em to bring a gorgeous glow to your space. They’re battery operated with an on/off switch and 2 levels of brightness. They do require 3 AAA batteries which are not included. But, like almost anything at Five Below, they inexpensive. 2 LED Sunset Puck Lights for $5.55.

With This Gadget We Go To Pot
You’ll never be able to pronounce the name of this company, TCHCWYS, but I do like their Pot and Pan Organizer Rack. Contrary to several reviews I find it very easy to put together without needing any tools. This pan organizer rack with 8 tiers, provides ample storage for pots, pans, lids, and kitchenware. But watch this week’s show to show the strange design of the shelves which will not let you store very small items. Although I do show an easy work around. You can customize the height of your shelves to whatever you want. Be aware you can change the height of the frame that holds the shelves. You don’t need to use this for pots and pans. It can store small boxes, dinnerware, even shoes. It was under $30 on 2/29/24

Cypher Blacklight Infinity Bluetooth Speaker with Neon Message Board
Wow, a black & blue speaker. Yep, it’s Bluetooth & it features Black Llight. Here’s what Pulse TV says about it: Give your favorite tunes the perfect backdrop with this sleek speaker that sports a built-in black light board so you can doodle and make neon glowing notes. The Infinity Speaker by Packard Bell is loaded with features and makes a great decoration! You’ll see it in action on this week’s show. We all loved the black light infinity look, but the ‘react to the music’ mode didn’t seem to do very much. You can judge for yourself in my demo on this week’s show. You can write the screen with the included neon marker. It has USB-C charging and should play for about 3 hours with the built in battery fully charged. I bought mine on the Pulse TV website. It was $24.99, plus about $6 shipping. I didn’t see this device or anything like it on Amazon.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
For his February theme loyal Patreons picked “Cheap Bathroom Gadgets”!
Chad’s Final Cheap Bathroom Gadget is the Spurtar 1440° Faucet Extender for Bathroom Sink
Chad liked the look of this faucet extender. It has 2 modes: Soft Bubble Stream and Powerful Rinse Spray. The strong flushing mode is for quickly washing dishes and to remove stains with high water pressure. (Not sure why the company calls it an extender for the bathroom sink because I don’t think most people wash their dirty dishes there. But it also has a soft bubble stream mode is designed to produce a soft Oxygen-enriched foam and non-splashing water stream perfectly for eye, hand, and face washing. Plus a four-layer filter inside aerator said to remove impurities and bring cleaner water, more convenient and hygiene than a normal aerator. Spurtar is the brand Chad showed, but as he mentioned there are lots of these devices on Amazon. Some look exactly the same, but only the name changes, so I guess you can shop by price if you want one. It was about $18 with a $4 off coupon on 3/1/24, but prices on Amazon can change quickly.
How did it work for Chad? Watch this week’s show to find out.
