Chad's Crappy Corner & His New Theme For December.

Chad polled our loyal Patreon members and asked them to vote on his new theme for December. They voted and the winner is “Stocking Stuffers”, a perfect pick for December.

Chad's first 'Stocking Stuffer” gadget is Spark Innovators Engrave it Pro. If that sound familiar it's, it's also an “As Seen on TV” gadget. Chad bought his one Amazon and here's what Amazon says about it:

 

Engrave your personal property yourself-safely and easily-and protect valuables against theft. Engrave-It easily etches metal, wood, glass, leather, plastic and more. Includes the Engrave-It unit, 3 hard plastic stencils of letters, numbers and shapes and a BONUS replacement tip FREE. On/off switch. Uses 2 AA batteries (not included). 7"L. Engraves On: Metal Glass Plastic Wood And more! $9.24 and Amazon Prime, so free shipping for Prime Members.

 

It's here on Amazonhttp://amzn.to/2gMxLW2

 

And Chad's take: As you'll see in the video of this week's show, Chad could hardly believe the packaging which says you could even run it over a balloon and the balloon won't break. Chad tried and broke the 1st two balloons. Someone suggested maybe they meant do it with the device in the “off” position. Chad tried that and still the balloon burst. But, you wouldn't be using Engrave-it Pro on a balloon anyway. Chad tried wood, and that worked pretty good. He tried metal, and engraved a star on a pair of scissors using one of the included stencils. That worked good too. It worked okay also on plastic too. The included stencils were to big to engrave some items, but all in all, Chad (and the chatroom) thought this was a decent gadget for $10.
