    Chad's Crappy Corner & his final gadget for his February Theme.

    Our loyal Patreons voted! And Chad's February “Cheap Gadget Theme” they voted for is...... “Cheap Gadgets From The Bargain or Clearance Bin!

    This week Chad's Final gadget is the Aurora Golden LED Step Light. Chad found his at a bargain price of $4.00 at Walmart. But as you'll see in the video, and even in the photo here that even $4.00 was too much for this gadget. out of the box it's falling apart. The light is magnetic and it does have two magnetic strips with 3M backing to attach to places you want to put the light that aren't magnetic, like a refrigerator is. It uses 4AAA batteries which were not included. The problem with Chad's bargin is the battery end is so loose it barely makes contact and therefore doesn't light up most of the time. Chad said this is one of the crappiest of his crappy gadgets. It was on the Walmart website saying “1 left” when we recorded this show, but not it looks like there are none. But I wouldn't buy one anyway. You'll probably agree after you see Chad's review on this week's show.

    Below is the link to the ones I talked about and showed in the video. I bought about a dozen of them on Amazon & use them in closets, under desks, etc. They're about $10 each, have rechargeable batteries and can be run directly from a battery charger if you want to leave them on for long periods. https://amzn.to/2T5GFA5
