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

We're not done talking about Arc Lighters yet. One viewer told me there's a whole assortment of Arc Lighters over at eBay. And they're much cheaper than the ones on Amazon. And on the the last Giz Wiz show we asked Brian Horovitz if he would send us a viewer demo of his crisscross arc light, and he did!

Hi Dick & Chad: 

Here is the video of the cross arc lighter I bought from Amazon although i noticed when watching the show I must have copied the wrong link because although they look identical, the lighter I bought is branded Pard not Kivors - oh well just another one of thous products that is made by one manufacture and re branded lots of times. I enjoy the show every week and have been watching since the first episode back when it was the Daily GizWiz.

Be sure to check eBay, which has a large variety of arc lighter for less.

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

Letter of the week:

Hello Dick and Chad:

Thank you for the wonderful entertainment and information that you try so hard to provide every week.
I have been a long time viewer and your show it’s something that keep me happy in this world. Do not worry I’m already seeing a therapist.

Looking for something  in Amazon I found these two items that I think you will find interesting.

1. I found this and as you can see, they couldn’t  find a camera for this product:

https://www.amazon.com/National-Hardware-MPB163-doble-ganchos/dp/B001739H3A/

2. Also I think this will make a great gift:

Once again thank you.

Your friend always, Ernesto Rodriguez, San Juan, Puerto Rico
