Leo's Crap! (But sometimes it's good. Occassionally, very good!)

Leo & I only have one more show to do before Chad takes over as co-host on The Giz Wiz. (This will allow Leo to take two days off a week starting in 2014.) So on this show, Leo did three gadgets left over from the Jeff Needles days.

The 1^st gadget Leo showed was the Instant Beer Stein Can Grip Handle! This red plastic handle snaps onto your beer or soda can to create an instant stein. It's will keep your warm hands from warming up your drink. It's made of red plastic. Although the copy says: “Sleek comfortable handle design easily snaps onto cans”, Leo had to enlist the help of Burke at the Brick House to use some force to snap the Instant Beer Can Grip Handle in place. But once it was on, it seems that it would keep your hands dry from moisture on the can. About $4, but shipping adds $5 or so. Maybe if you order 6 or so, the shipping would still be same, but I’m not sure.

Gadget #2, Leo showed us, not one, but two EZ Eyes Large Print US Keyboards. Amazon says: Trying to type on a small keyboard hurts the eyes and your self-esteem. You deserve the big, the bold, and accurate EZ Eyes 104-Key Large Print US Keyboard and Optical Mouse combo pack!!! With letters 4x larger and higher contrast colors than a regular keyboard, the ZK-520 keyboard suits your eyes perfectly. And there is a USB optical mouse to acommpany your new found accuracy. They both use the USB 2.0 interface and are both Plug & Play compatible which means you can just plug the keyboard and mouse in and forget it! It's also PC and Mac supported giving you flexibility across different machines. Even if your eyes are really bad and you lose your keyboard and mouse, we throw in an extra keyboard and mouse just in case. That's right - you get two USB keyboards and two USB optical mice for the same cheap price. That's right, $11.99, plus free shipping, so just about $6 for each keyboard/mouse combo!

The Stapler that doesn’t use staples was another gadget Leo showed. Amazon give this description: Perfect for College Students, Kids, Small Business and anyone who ever needs to staple papers. Never Buy Staples Again! Staples are history! You'll never have to run out of them again. The Staple Free Stapler cuts out tiny strips of paper and uses the strips to stitch up to 5 pieces of paper together. Environmentally friendly. Safe for kids.  Leo’s take: It sort of worked. It does make holes in the papers to bind them together, and it looked like they didn’t stayed joined all the time. But it’s cheap to buy.

The last gadget we really didn't get to see, because Leo just read the name on the package and passed on opening it. But I was able to find it on line. It's the Bobino Slim Pen, a super thin ballpoint pen. Here's what I found on Amazon:

For the first time in your life you will never be left without a pen. Slim Pen was designed to be as thin as possible. At only 1/8 inch thick, your notebook cover closes with ease. Slim Pen is easily removed or reattached to its docking tab affixed inside the front or back or your notebook or agenda. It sells for $6.40 on Amazon, and it's free shipping if you're an Amazon Prime Member. You can also find other choices on the page where the pen sells for less, but then the shipping cost brings the price back up again.
