Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

Our viewer video of the week arrived with this email:

From: David Eckard

 

Guys,

 

I think I sound horrid but still.

This is something I bought from the local Bose store.

I have enjoyed the heck out of them. I have been on probably seven flights since I got them. They work very well on planes.

***********************

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!

 

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so 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 of All Time: 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 a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)

 

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

The letter of the week:

 

Steve Davison writes:  Looks like you and Chad won't be able to create one of these since it already exists, however, you can improve on the concept. I'm sure several people have already found this or items like this, but in case not, here's what I found.

 

Here's a Wahl Clipper with hose attachment. About a dozen years ago, a woman cutting my hair mentioned a coworker had clippers with a vacuum. Google gave me this (probably not the one the woman many year ago spoke of).

Wahl Senior Vacuum Clipper, Price: $79.90 & FREE Shipping.

 

Finally, a professional heavy-duty clipper specially designed with a vacuum system equipped! (excludes vacuum) Wahl has designed the classic Senior clipper with vacuum lid, attachments, and hose for easy connecting to your vacuum system. Also includes 6 snap-on guide combs (size 1/8 Inch-1 Inch), oil, cleaning brush, and blade guard.

 

From Giz Wiz: And I found this Remington VPG6530 Lithium Power Series 4 In 1 Vacuum Trimmer on Amazon too. http://amzn.to/2b8tMl4
