Solve The 'Loose' Finger Ring Problem with Likimar Ring Size Adjuster Kit.

My wedding ring was getting looser and looser. Finally one day I thought I lost it, but luckily it had fallen off in the shower and I was able to retrieve it. I needed something to prevent that happening again. I searched Amazon and found the Likimar Ring Size Adjuster Kit said to be a GREAT SOLUTION for loose rings. Soft and Flexible material, safe to use on skin. (Well, I would hope so!) Virtually Invisible on the rings! 8 PCS/Set in assorted sizes, there is always one for your loose ring. Works both on men's rings and women's rings. Package Includes: 8 pcs ring size adjuster, 1 x user instruction, 1 x silver polishing cloth. From the Giz Wiz: This worked great and I no longer fear losing my wedding ring. You'll see how it works on my ring on this week's show. Under $10.

Keychain LED Light & Security Alarm

This month marks one year since there has been a trade show to attend. So in order to find interesting, useful gadgets in Amazon, I typed “Best selling gadgets under $25”. Of the list that came up I picked the Taiker Personal Alarm for Women.140DB Emergency Self-Defense Security Alarm Keychain with LED Light for Women Kids and Elders. According to that description us men are on our own. The company says 'with a loud 140DB sound, this self-defense keychain alarm can make a sound loud enough to draw the attention of others at a far distance, which can effectively scare attackers in danger and seek people around for help. Also has an LED light. The portable size can be attached on keychain, backpack, etc. The alarm is activated when you pulled the contact pin out, and siren will sound continuously for 30 minutes unless unless pin is reinserted to device.' Batteries are said to last 90 minutes which is long for that much sound. It comes with 3 LR44 batteries and they are replaceable. The price is unbelievable! 7 units in various colors for $20.99, which comes to $3 each. This price can change at any time on Amazon. They got decent reviews on Amazon too, check them out.

AN Idea from The Giz Wiz. Some you don't lose the pin needed to silence the alarm, I put the end of the cord on the keyring. It makes it a touch harded to pull the pin, but it won't get seperated from the alarm.

The winning theme, voted on by our loyal Patreons, is “Cheap Drinking Gadgets”.

Three Final Gadgets For Chad's Crappy Corner February Theme!

Chad does a 3-in-1 for his final 'cheap drinking gadgets' spot. On this week's show Chad demonstrates the folding, reuseable stainless steel straw, called The Final Straw because you won't need any others. He brews a cup of coffee using the Kuju Coffee Pocket Pourover. It's like a tag bag, but as you'll see in the video, it has wings to hold the side of the cup as your pour water over it. And finally, he tries the Bar Country Pocket Cocktail. From that short description can you guess which one of those three Chad loved, the one he thought was okay, and the one he thought was truly crappy? No more hints here, watch this week's show and all will be revealed.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! 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 (favorite old, or favorite new): 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 earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
