Wow! A Form Fitting Heating Pad For Shoulders & Neck.
From Amazon: The 3lb heat pad is filled with micro-glass beads in each module, evenly dispersed throughout the pad(rather than the edges), offering deeper heating relaxation against the neck and shoulders. Using Carbon Fiber heating technology, the heating pad for pain delivers a stream of heat to relieve soreness and fatigue and improve the circulation of blood. The heating pad fabric allows disassembling for cleaning. It features 11 timers, with auto-off settings ranging from 30min, 60min, 90min, 120min, 150min, 180min, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H to meet your different needs. Supports automatic thermostat, automatic shutdown, and overheat protection. The controller has an LED display, making nighttime visibility convenient. With 6 temperature levels (40-65°C/104-149°F), you can customize the desired temperature for heat therapy for more effective pain relief. I bought this and like it a lot. MSRP: $49.99. (When I bought mine there was a $15 off coupon there. It was still there on 5/6/23 but can go away at any time.

Chad’s Crappy Corner & His New Theme for May.
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for May. And that theme is cheap smartphone gadgets. And Chad’s1st cheap smallphone gadget is the Bumpin’ LEDs phone case protector.
Five Below says: flexible silicone design fits most phones & cases.
- lights up with every bump!
- uses 12 1.5V AG1 button cell batteries (included)
- with normal use, experience over 1,000 bumps with fun flashing lights
- material: silicone
And Chad’s take? One of the four corners didn’t light out of the box. Straps across the back of the gadget blocked two of the three cameras on Chad’s phone. On opening the box the LEDs starting blinking. That meant that was no tab to protect the batteries from discharging before use. Chad rated this PC — Pretty Crappy! Chad paid $5.55 at Five Below.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our email this week is from David Eckard who writes us:
Gentlemen…And I use gentlemen with suspicion!
I have some Vacuum storage bags. They need the air pumped out of them.
They came with a hand pump. My main vacuum is a low end commercial unit
that should outlast me. And it has a really long cord. I do not have a
vacuum with a hose attachment for it. Not that I want to go through the
trouble of setting one up.
I went looking for a more portable solution and found one on Amazon. It is from FLEXTAILGEAR and it’s smaller then I thought it would be but works fairly well.

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
