Chad's Crappy Corner & Another Gadget For His February Theme!

Our loyal Patreons voted and they picked “Cheap Garage Gadgets” as Chad's Theme for February. Chad's third cheap garage gadget two Coleman AC remote control cables.

On this week's show Chad shows us the two Coleman Remote Control AC Power Cables he has set up in his garage. Here's a mini description of one that is listed as Coleman on Amazon. It looks identical, but is described as: Woods, Outdoor, Weatherproof Outlet Wireless Remote Control Converter Kit, 6" 16/3 Grounded Cord, Control Your Outdoor Security Lights and Holiday Decorations From Inside Your Home Or Car, Key Chain Remote Includes Battery and Has 60' Frequency Range, Weatherproof Base, Just Plug It In, 125V,13A, 1625W Resistive/8, 1000W Tungsten.

And Chad's take: Chad likes these because as he puts it “they just work”. No need to get out your phone, download anything, worry about WiFi, etc., he just uses the mini-remote to turn his shop lights on and off. The only downside Chad mentioned was the battery which seems not to be standard. But he aslo said he's been using these devices for more than two years and they just keep on working! He adds the remote is easy to hang on a nail right by the door, so as he enters or leaves, it's easy to control the garage lights. They're on Amazon.
