Chad's Crappy Corner! The 4th gadget in Chad’s theme for August: Home Improvement Gadgets.

DateAugust 25, 2014 CommentPost a Comment

As picked by fans of the Giz Wiz in a strawpoll, here’s Chad 4th gadget in the winning category, Home Improvement. It's the Super Grip Lock. 

Here’s what Amazon says about it: The simple but ingenious Super Grip Lock keeps thieves from turning your deadbolt-even if they have the key or special tools. Just attach the hook-and-loop strap to the handle and deadbolt on the inside of every door for complete peace of mind. 19"L; fits most deadbolts and works on locks up to 6" apart. 

And Chad’s take? It took Chad about four tries to get this to work properly. As you’ll see in the video, it takes a bit of doing to attach the Super Grip Lock to the deadbolt and the door knob properly. It’s inexpensive and easy to carry, so maybe you might keep one in your luggage, or try one on your doors at home, but it only works on certain deadbolts and locks. Chad was less than impressed.
