And our final two products we didn't like.

It doesn't look bad, but folding it wasn't very easy.

The EVO Folding Electric Bike was another 'buy this and I think you'll be sorry'. But as far as I know you don't have to worry about being stuck with one, because it never made it to the marketplace. I think this video will show you the reason why. The salesman was doing his best, but folding the the Evo Electric Bike isn't very easy. And it looks heavy and kind of clunky, at least to me. Also their website never went online.

And Our Final 'Worst Of' Gadget:

On both our 'worst of' lists is the HydraLight Flashlight.They HydraLight is still for sale on Amazon, and the page still says you get “2 fuel Cells”. I bought this device twice & both times I received only one fuel cell. I returned them both for a refund. If you have space and want one for a 'black-out' emergency, it's was still on Amazon on 1/3/20 for under $30.

One of the reasons we don't like it is because the thing is huge, not very convenient to store or carry. But the real downer is the 'hundred hours of use' claim. They don't tell you that once you activate the fuel cell by soaking it in water, you get 100 hours of use whether you use it or not. So you can have it 'on' or even 'off' for about 4 days after which you need to buy a new fuel cell. (I learned this from Chad, who I believe learned it from Padre when he has working over at TWiT).

Giz Wiz Show 1759 Show of Dec 26th, 2019 Independent Show #241

Wow! The Giz Wiz Show is in year 13 overall & our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: www.gizwiz.tv.

And now on with the show! 

It's the Aduro Phone Neck Holder Phone Mount to make your smart phone (up to 7") Hands Free. About a year ago I did a “prank box” gadget called Tech Neck, a way to wear your phone around your neck. But a Prank Box is an empty box showing a silly gadget that doesn't exist. You put your real gift inside. But recently I found The Aduro Lazy Phone Holder which pretty much does the same thing, but is for real! It's compatible with smartphone sizes up to 7", even with a case on it according to the company. My LG G6 with case fit fine with room to spare. This device holds the phone at an optimal viewing angle you set and it offers 360-degree rotation. I think it looks a bit goofy, but on an airplane or in bed I think it will work fine. You can wear it or even use it as a phone desk stand. Aduro adds: We made the Aduro neck cell phone mount with high-quality alloy, rugged ABS plastic and anti-skid shockproof breathable foam which makes your neck feel comfortable while giving you the best viewing experience. $10.99 in colors, black was just $9.99. All prices as of 12/21/19 and can change at any time.

The Tech Neck Prank Box is no longer available, but I think this one is funnier:

Hay in Needle Stack Family Board Game

Prank Pack | Wrap Your Real Holiday Gift in a Prank Funny Gag Joke Gift Box - by Prank-O - The Original Prank Gift Box | Awesome Novelty Gift Box for Any Adult or Kid! (Hayneedle)

PRANK GIFT BOXES at first appear to contain bizarre products from ridiculous companies. Simply put your real present inside the joke box and try to keep a straight face as you watch your friends and loved ones attempt to remain gracious while thanking you for the "GIFT". Then watch them explode with laughter when they discover their actual stuff inside and realize they have been pranked. $7.,99.

Amazon link: (Remember you're buying an empty box for $7.99, but the photography and fake box copy is very well done. You put your real gift inside. Amazon gives dimensions as 11.25" X 9" X 3.25".

Chad's Extra Gadget.

One of the stocking stuffer gifts Chad received this holiday season and liked a lot is the Coghlans Bottle Carrier. Chad likes to carry water in order to stay hydrated on the go and that should be easy with this rugged looking  water bottle carrier. As you'll see on this week's show, this device has an adjustable length shoulder strap and hook-and-loop straps that adapt to a variety of water bottle sizes. You'll see Chad demo it with one of the larger sized water bottles he likes to carry. And although it's impolite to talk about prices when it comes to gifts, we should mention this one seems very well made, yet retails for about $5.00.

Chad's Crappy Corner & His Final December Theme Gadget !

Chad polled our loyal Patreon fans and for December's Cheap Gadget Theme they picked: “Cheap Gadgets to keep you warm”. Chad's third cheap gadget is the Warmies Microwavable French Lavender Scented Plush Husky.

Here's what I found online about Warmies: A fully microwavable plush soft toy that meets all U.S. Safety standards for all ages. Filled with all-natural grain and dried French Lavender to provide soothing warmth and comfort. Great stress relief, bedtime buddy, daytime friend, Travel companion, soothes tummy, reduces anxiety, great for colic relief and so comforting. Warmies are the #1 leading and trusted brand of hot and cold therapy plush toys and spa gifts. (There are other brands similar to this on line, but the one Chad bought is from Warmies.)

And Chad's take? Chad liked these. You'll see his full demo in this week's' show. The chatroom asked if you could also put them in the refrigerator for cold compress use. The answer is yes. I found this on Amazon: These versatile products can also be used as a cold pack; simply place in a sealed freezer bag and place in the freezer for two to three hours. Ideal for reducing temperatures, easing sprains and bruises and reducing swelling. MSRP: $24.99. There are many other Warmies animals available.
