Meet The 8 Outlet, 4 Charging Port Power Strip!
On Amazon I saw this interesting power strip. It has 8 AC outlets – four 3-prong & 4 2-prong outlets. It’s rated at 1700W/15A. It also has 3 USB ports (5V/2.4A) and 1 USB-C Port (5V/3A). But wait, there’s more. It also has 1700 Joules surge projection. It’s not UL listed, but it is ETL listed. The company FUAUFAS, says it will detect your devices automatically and deliver the fastest charge speed. It also features a 45° angled flat plug & it’s wall mountable. Be aware the company says “Cruise Ship Approved”, but I have read that power strips with surge protectors are not allowed on cruise ships. The price? It was just $7.99 on 6/6/25

Meet The Turbo Hand Fan w/ “Dial The Speed Technology”
Yoshenmo is a brand many have not heard of before, but they have produced a great little fan.
It’s a small, rechargeable battery operated turbo fan. The company says the highest rotation speed of the handheld fan is three times that of a regular personal fan, reaching up to 105000 RPM. But who has time to count revs to see if that’s true. What Chad & I both liked on this fan is the digital readout. It tells you exact battery charge, and lets you read the numerals 1-199 as you dial the fan speed. It also transforms from a convenient handheld fan to a practical desk fan. Or use the included lanyard, to hang it. Runs continuously for 15-24 hours (depending on the speed) says the company. It’s USB-C charging of the 3,000 mAn battery. A charging cable is also included. Best of all, it was under $10 on 6/5/25.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
It’s June and the winning theme, voted on by our loyal Patreons is Summer Time Gadgets.
Chad’s first Summer Gadget is —- The Fly-Lid. It goes on the top of a drinking cup which you fill with something sweet. Chad put in deluded honey. And then, what will it do? The Fly-Lid will catch flies wherever they are a problem, whether it’s your kitchen or your barn! Catches fruit flies, house flies, black flies, and many more! What’s that’s what the company says. As you’ll see on this week’s show, Chad’s Fly-Lid, didn’t catch a single fly, but 3 ants did get into the cup. Chad still likes it and found it’s inexpensive. It was a bit under $5 for two at ACE Hardware. I found them on Amazon, six Fly-Lids for $11.99, so a bit cheaper than ACE at about $2.00 each.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Mo Torres, our most loyal and frequent contributor, emailed us another ‘guess the gadget’ video!
And, wow, it was hard to guess. I didn’t guess and it and it took Chad a fair amount of time to discover what this off-beat gadget did.
Could you guess what it was from the photo?
Here’s Mo’s video:
