    Chad's Crappy Corner & his second gadget for his new March Theme.

    Chad's Crappy Corner March Cheap Gadget Theme, as picked by our loyal Patreons is  “Cheap Time Keeping Gadgets”.

    Chad's second cheap time keeping gadget is the YourZone 20 Second Faucet Timer.

    Here's what we found out about it from Walmart where Chad bought his: Practicing good hygiene has never been easier with this amazing Your Zone 2 Piece Hygiene Set including a Soap Pump Musical Timer & a Faucet Extender! The Soap Pump Musical Timer features a flexible design that installs in seconds on top of most standard soap pumps. When it comes time for handwashing, press the pump down as you normally would to turn on the tunes and watch little one’s learn healthy hand hygiene in a fun and flashy way! The fun, flashing lights built into this pump topper also helps to encourage engagement as little one’s lather up and wash their hands.

     

    The Faucet Extender is a most helpful accessory in helping growing children reach the flow of water from the faucet in the bathroom or kitchen. Featuring an easy to install design that works on most faucets, the neck of the extender is soft and just needs to be rotated to accommodate the shape of your faucet. Once it’s on, this faucet extender serves as a useful tool to encourage handwashing by making it that much easier for little one’s to practice good hygiene!

     

    And Chad's take? Chad didn't think this gadget was very good. Mounting it on a soap dispenser bottle is difficult and see if you can hear the 20 second tune over the sound of water running in Chad's video on this week's show. It arrived with an almost dead battery. Fortunately it uses the popular 2032 cells, which Chad had, but a 'no battery life' on arrival is not a good sign. Also he thought the water faucet extender really didn't work that well either. You'll see his entire demo on this week's show. It was under $9.98.

     

    It's here on Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Your-Zone-Soap-Pump-Musical-Timer-Faucet-Extender/888750828

     

    I found a stand alone sound & light 20 second timer device on Amazon for about 50 cents more. (There is no faucet extender & we haven't tried this in person.) https://amzn.to/36gnuws
