ENUODA MAGNETIC HOOKS

ENUODA MAGNETIC HOOKS ~ HEAVY DUTY MAGNET HOOK FOR GENERAL HOUSEHOLD USE…. BOB SKIDMORE, CORRESPONDENT - © 2025 (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) Finding strong hooks that can not only be attached with screws, but also with a magnet,, is a rare and welcome find. ENUODA has made such hooks that are ideal for attaching to almost any surface whether it be magnetic, or with the use of traditional screws. The heavy duty magnetic hooks are ideal for almost any vertical storage space. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, wherever a hook would be the best solution. Each hook can hold 7 – 10 pounds when the magnet is applied to a metal surface. Don’t have a metal surface, but want the benefit of a removable hook, consider using Gauder Metal Self Adhesive Tape. This is a metal tape that sticks to most surfaces and provides the benefit of accommodating anything magnetic including these hooks. https://shorturl.at/QodTY Each hook is embedded with six super strong rare earth magnets that are housed in a 2.59 inch round base, providing a strong grip when hanging virtually anything. They are made of heavy-duty steel and have a load-bearing capacity of 10 pounds. Each magnet is coated in rubber and thus prevents the marring, or scratching of the attached surface. This type of construction gives them a better grip thus preventing them from falling, or being easily scratched. They’re even strong enough to provide a grip for open and closing cabinet doors.
I found these hooks to be the best hooks for so many applications. The fact that they can be magnetically attached, or screw mounted, makes them so versatile. I have them attached to the side of a metal file cabinet and use them to hang my CPAP hoses and mask after cleaning so they can dry and air out. They are perfect for storing tools, drills and even some ladders too. Additional sizes and styles are available too. I rate them A+. A great solution for so many applications!!! Screws and ribbed plastic anchors are also included.

Seemagic Electric Nail Clipper

Seemagic Electric Nail Clipper ~ For Baby, Kids, Seniors And Adults © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) Trimming your nails can be a tedious and perhaps not so accurate job when you use ordinary scissors or nail clippers. Seemagic has a gadget that makes it super easy. It’s compact and easily held in your hand. The electric nail clipper comes with a non-replaceable, but rechargeable battery power supply. Simply use the USB-C supplied charging cable and plug it into a standard USB charger/adapter, not supplied. Charging takes about 2 hours to be fully charged. It’s a good idea to charge the unit before your first use. Once fully charged you’re good to go for many trims. To trim your nails, position the trimmer with the Seemagic name facing upward. Now remove the plastic cover that allows access to the trimmer blade. To turn on the trimmer press and hold in the power button located on the right side panel adjacent to the type C USB port until you see a white light illuminated over the trimmer. At this point place a finger over the thumb print logo located over the embossed Seemagic name on the top of the trimmer. If your finger is not clean you may have to switch fingers, or wipe clean the button till proper contact is made and the clipper is activated. You should now hear the trimmer’s motor. Leave your finger in place while trimming is taking place. If you don’t hear the motor noise it means that the finger you are using is probably greasy, so either wipe it clean, or try a different finger until you hear the trimmer’s motor. You’re now ready to begin trimming your nails. Gently insert one side of the nail to be trimmed into the blade’s slot opening. Use only a slight pressure and move the trimmer, or your nail from one end of the nail to the other. Continue this process until you achieve the desired nail trimming. Maintaining a constant, but slight pressure prevents trimming the nail too much. Repeat this operation until the desired trim is achieved then proceed to the next nail until all nails are satisfactorily trimmed to your liking. The trimmer may possibly be used on toes, but based on the typical unusual contour of toes it may be difficult, or not easily achievable. To shut off the trimmer just press the power on/off button till light and motor noise cease. Pressing of the thumb print is not required for the shutdown of the trimmer. After continued use you will see the nail residue build up in the cavity at the bottom of the trimmer. To empty, just push the top of the clear plastic door inward as indicted by the word PUSH. Once emptied just press the rear of the door back down till you hear a click. A cleaning brush is included for cleaning the blade slot. Cleaning should be performed when trimmed debris becomes visible. I found the SeeMagic Nail Clipper to work exceptionally well in most applications.

Dewenwils AC Power Remote Control - great for controlling Holiday Decorations

DEWENWILS AC POWER REMOTE CONTROL ~ Easily Control Your Electrical Devices Within 100’ …. BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) Have you ever wanted to have a switch for an electrical device in a new location, or be somewhat mobile, or just simply more convenient to access? Well, DEWENEILS may just have the solution. The DEWENWILS Outdoor Wireless Remote-Control Outlet is a device that features what looks like a 2-foot extension cord having a standard three-prong male AC ground plug on one end and a three-prong female outlet built into a waterproof housing on the other. Since this electrical device is entirely waterproof it can be used both outdoors and indoors. The remote control on/off switch can turn electrical devices on or off up to 100’ away. It can accommodate up to 15 amps/1875 Resistance/1000-watt tungsten and up to ½ horse power motors at 115 volts. It therefore is perfect for remotely turning on/off string lights, holiday decorations, landscape lighting fixtures, security devices, room lights and appliances with just a push of the button on the supplied remote control. The DEWENWILS remote control device comes complete with the popular CR2032 button battery. It’s easy to install too. Simply plug it into a standard ground plug outlet that is near the device you wish to control, then plug in your device and the installation is now complete. To operate, just press the appropriate on or off button on the remote control to now control the device’s mode of operation. Incidentally, there is also an on/off manual switch located atop the outlet housing should you wish to control it from its actual location. These types of remotes use a control signal to transmit the commands from the remote to the outlet’s receiver. This inaudible signal utilizes a specific assigned frequency. If you plan to use multiple control devices that you wish to individually control It’s important to know what frequency(s) you are already using on one or more remote controls and order one with a different frequency from any devices already in use. Check the packaging for the frequency already being used and then alert the vendor with this information so you will have a completely independent operational device. I found the DEWENWILS remote control device very handy for several applications. I have a light in the master bedroom that I can now turn on by the entrance door. I have another light on a living room bar and on the wall that’s now controllable from the couch. (Note: A multi-outlet adapter is used for this particular application.) My wife has a lamp several feet from a bed which she can now control while in bed. Since each switch is on a different frequency the operation of any and all remote do not interfere with each other. Without question the DEWENILS REMOTE CONTROL is convenient, requires no electrician or special wiring! GADGETEER’s RATING: ★★★★★ MSRP: $13.99 or with 2 remotes $18.99 (Two & three outlet models are also available) For more information go to: https://amzn.to/3A1QELM Graphic credits: Amazon Bob Skidmore is a freelance writer, who may be contacted at bskidmore@mac.com or followed at twitter.com/bskidmore for the latest gadget industry news.

APPLE AIRTAG 10-YEAR BATTERY CASE

ELEVATION LAB AIRTAG 10-YEAR BATTERY CASE ~ An Air Tag Case With Long Life Replaceable Batteries…. BOB SKIDMORE, CORRESPONDENT - © 2025 (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) The introduction of Apple’s AIRTAG is a major step in keeping track of your belongings such as keys, purses, suitcases and especially automobiles. If you have one you already know that it’s a round device about the size of a quarter and by removing the silver cover you can easily replace the CR2032 button battery. Elevation Lab has developed and introduced a unique and practical case that houses the electronic portion of the AirTag and gives it an up to a ten year battery life span and thus does not have the appearance of an AirTag. The case itself is waterproof featuring an ultra-strong fiber reinforced composite construction and its look is not easily identifiable by any would-be thief. Yes, it’s a bit larger, 4.45” long x 1.57” wide x 0.57” thick, so it can accommodate two commonly available AA batteries and is held in place by 4 hex screws with a special wrench supplied with the kit.
The Elevation Lab case easily tucks away in your purse, or suitcase and fits well in the pouch located in the rear backside portion of the front passenger seat of your car. Since you permanently remove the AirTag’s cover you no longer have to deal with having to remove it since the button battery is no longer being used. This always became quite a task especially as the AirTags aged which resulted in difficulty to open and close the round housing’s silver cover. Replacement of the two AA batteries is very easy. It would be advisable to check these two batteries every couple of years for possible corrosion even though the manufacturer claims a ten year battery life span. Using AirTags in your car is a very practical use. Since you can easily track the location on your iPhone, computer, or iPad, law enforcement will have a much easier job to locate your car and probably the thieves as well. I highly recommend the Elevation Lab case and, of course, the use of APPLE AIRTAGS.

CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON

CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON ~ Easily Call For Help In Your Home…. © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) How many times have you wished that there was a simple way to signal others within your home, apartment, or condo unit that you need help, or assistance? Perhaps you fell, or are simply in some other way incapacitated. The CAREGIVER FULLHOUSE WIRELESS CALL BUTTON is a great practical solution. Yes, the name implies caregiver, but this solution applies to anyone living in virtually any kind of residence. The operational range can be up to 1000 feet in an open air environment from the transmitter to 500 feet if there are walls. The system is waterproof, but not submersible. Once installed, the way it works is you have what I’ll call a remote panic button that you can keep in a place where it will be in easy reach should you need to alert someone that you have an issue. A receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet and contains a loud chime, or other selectable sound. So, when the panic button on the remote is depressed it sounds a two second loud sound. Naturally, you can repeat this if necessary, or by holding the button down for more than five seconds the system goes into the emergency call mode unless you press the volume/music button on the receiver to stop the alarm. When the emergency call mode is activated the alarm will sound continuously for 20 minutes unless you shut it off. You can of course repeat this for additional 20 minute periods if necessary. It may also be possible to place a receiver in an apartment above, or below you, or a house next door. You’ll want to test this out to ensure that the signal reaches a receiver placed in such a neighbor’s location. It is possible to personalize the system to allow for each transmitter to have a different tone so a person responding will know where to look for the person in need. Such settings are clearly explained in the instructions provided with the unit. This system is available in various bundles: 1 call button + 1 plug-in receiver $17.99; 2 call buttons + 1 plug-in receiver $21.95; 2 call buttons + 3 plug-in receivers $35.00; 2 call buttons + 4 plug-in receivers $43.19 and 3 call buttons + 2 plug-in receivers $32.39. To sum up, this is a very reliable system for summoning help. Be sure to routinely replace batteries in each call button. Perhaps add a label with the date when last replaced to ensure proper operation when you need it. MSRP: Depends on bundle purchased. See above for available bundles.

YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY ~ Possible Aftermath After Cataract Surgery....

YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY ~ Possible Aftermath After Cataract Surgery…. (Please note that Google’s BlogSpot, the provider we use to publish this monthly column, has changed the allowable format style. So, if the column’s format looks a bit strange it’s due to Google and BlogSpot, not THE GADGETEER.) BOB SKIDMORE CORRESPONDENT © 2025 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This may be a bit off the typical gadget articles I write, but it’s very important information regarding the possible aftermath of having necessary Cataract surgery. Understand that while you’re reading this that I’m not a Medical professional, but highlighting my own experience and newly found knowledge. Cataract surgery is a clouding of the natural lens in your eye that you are born with. This lens is normally clear. When clouding occurs, it keeps light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina. The retina is a thin layer of nerve tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye and is sensitive to light. Cataracts become more of a noticeable nuisance as we get older, typically after the age of 40. When they start to appear, they are the result of the proteins in the lens of your eye breaking down and clumping together. This clump makes a cloudy area on your lens and is known as a cataract. It result in blurry, hazy, or less colorful vision. Again, most cataracts happen due to natural changes in your eyes as we get older. The typical medical remedy for cataracts is surgery resulting in a procedure to remove the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. While this procedure is an immediate remedy it may not be the final end to your problem. I had Cataract surgery a couple of years ago and thought this issue was behind me only to learn that a YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY was now necessary in one eye. Yag Laser Capsulotomy is a procedure to help you to see clearly after you’ve had Cataract surgery. You may need this type of surgery because months, or even years after Cataract surgery, your vision may get fuzzy again. This happens when a membrane in your eye, known as the posterior capsule, becomes cloudy. Unfortunately, since this issue, while common, only happens in some cases, you may not be advised of such a possible reoccurrence after your Cataract surgery. The procedure takes less than a minute and does not require all the pre/post preparation and care that Cataract surgery does. It also may only happen in one of your eyes, and yes, I know of a recent case where it happened days after the original Cataract surgery. So, I hope this was informative and you never need to have this done!
