Chad's Crappy Corner & Another 'Cheap Security Gadget' - His Theme For March, 2017

For this show Chad's picked two security gadgets. The first is the GE SmartHome Security Sign Yard Stake and Window Decals

Deter would-be intruders and secure your home, apartment or office with the GE SmartHome Security Sign Yard Stake and Window Decals. Place the security sign yard stake in the front of your home to give the illusion that your home is currently being monitored by a security system. The easy-to-read, realistic sign is composed of durable plastic that will not fade over time. Place the five security decals on windows in your home to protect vulnerable entry points and deter would-be intruders. Under $20.

 

Chad's Take? Chad liked this sign set. Although the listing showed the GE logo, the actual signs do not bear any company logo. Also Chad thought the plastic stake which mounts to the back of the sign and then sticks into the ground was very short. Chad also like the included Safety Monitoring stickers for the windows. All in all, Chad thought this was not a bad security item for a low cost.

And Chad's take: Chad liked this safe, especially for the money. I, and a lot of the folks in the chatroom guessed that it cost more than the low $15.00 price. But as you'll see in the video, Chad says this is good for a quick lock-up deterrent maybe at the beach or the office, but it's certainly not meant as a long term safe to protect real valuables. The locking steel cable looked strong, but Chad said make sure you mount it correctly to some immovable object. Finally, you see that it's easy to set your combination numbers. Again, for the price, Chad thought this was pretty good!
