DeBin Phone Holster ~ Always Have Your Phone Secure And At The Ready…. © 2026 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 often have you said, “where did I put my phone”? While designed for men’s belts, the DeBin Phone Holster is the perfect way to protect your expensive phone while having it at the ready for that important call. Yes, even women adapt it to be and extremely useful solution too! Yes, I have reviewed similar products in past columns, but this one is extremely well built. Its material withstands daily wear-and-tear very well. The clip-on feature works very well for attaching and detaching from your belt eliminating the need to secure with the supplied loops. I found that it mounts so secure to your belt still allowing you to remove and reattach very quickly. Naturally, if you’ll be in a situation where it could easily detach you have the security of the loops which requires removing the belt so you can thread it between the loops. In either application the holster works extremely well, better than most competitive products. The holster features a flip style protective cover with a strong magnetic locking feature. The DeBin Phone Holster is a fantastic way to keep and well protect your phone and always have it at your side and at the ready for that important call! Various sizes to fit most manufacturer’s phones are available. (see the link below to select the proper model/style for your phone)

ROMISA KNEE WRAP - Perfect Brace For Knee, Joint & Shoulder Therapy

ROMISA KNEE WRAP – The Perfect Brace For Knee & Joint Therapy & more…. © 2026 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.) I’ve reviewed competitive wraps in past columns, but I have found the Romisa Knee Wrap to far out perform anything I previously tested and reviewed. The Romisa Knee Wrap, BOCMH62WPQ, model 1.0, offers heat, message as well as RED LIGHT therapy for your knees, elbows, shoulders and skin care and is designed for use by men and women as well. Compared to other brands it is exceptionally well built and definitely out lasts and performs much better than competitive products. This is especially true when it comes to the internal wiring. I found that competitive models eventually in as little as six months, or less, have broken cable issues caused by breakage, or disconnection of the internal wiring. This is a problem that can not be easily, or inexpensively repaired. The Romisa Knee Wrap features a cordless rechargeable controller that is exceptionally durable and permanently mounted on the wrap. It features a twenty-minute auto timer and includes a 660nm – 850nm near infrared light therapy treatment that is perfect for treating knee, elbow as well as shoulder pain. The perfect treatment for tired joints and muscles. The dual-wavelength and 10Hz pulse technology with the near infrared light penetrates deeply to help tissues feel revitalized and comfortable and offers five levels of heat. It truly delivers a professional- grade tissue relaxation benefit. It comes with an extension strap for shoulder applications. The wrap automatically shuts off after twenty minutes of treatment of a safe red light therapy session. I quite often wait a few minutes after it shuts off and then restart for an additional one, or two more treatments. Its cordless design lends itself for therapy sessions at home, in the office, or on the go with no electrical outlets needed during treatments. The long lasting battery is good for several sessions and includes a visual display of the charge remaining. Charging simply requires the use of a USB C cable and USB charger and only takes a few hours to complete. Since most USB chargers work on 110/220 volts this product will work internationally with no problems! (Be sure to check your USB charger that it supports multi-voltage) I found the Romisa Knee Wrap to definitely help my knees feel close to normal and relieve the pain related to knee issues. I do suggest using it daily, although I’ve gone several days without treatment and still feel the relief from previous applications. I definitely recommend it without any hesitation!!!

KENY 36" PET/BABY GATE

KENY 36” PET/BABY GATE ~ Wide Auto-Close Gate…. © 2026 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.) If you own a pet, or have a small child you are probably faced with the dilemma of how to easily and safely keep them out of certain rooms, or areas in your home, or office. Yes, there are many gate solutions out there, but which is the most practical and still easy to install without breaking the bank? KENY makes a 36” extra tall gate that easily mounts in front of stairs and entrances to areas where you want to prevent access. Keny makes these gates available in several different sizes. I’ve tested one that’s 29” - 42.5” wide and 36” tall. So, this review is based on this particular size and cost. Check the web site below for costs and dimensions of other sizes. They all have the same features and function identically and are white in color. These gates are easy to assemble and install. They come with a narrow extra panel to increase the size slightly and are pressure mounted so, typically, no tools are required. A simple twist of the adjustment knob tightens it against the entrance jam. This makes it quick and easy to remove if necessary. Naturally, if you want a more permanent installation you can screw in the cup holder in which the round pressure plug fits in to. Even doing this still allows for a fast and easy removal. Note that without the cup holder, the plug simply is pressure fitted against the entranceway jam. No scratches, or paint deterioration will occur.

The gate uses two latches, top and bottom of the top bar, to quickly release and swing the gate 180° in, or out. Two adjustable latches are also provided at the bottom of the gate if you feel that extra prevention of gate opening security is required. This requires a manual adjustment to engage, or release if used. Quite frankly you’ll probably find this feature will not be used. When the gate swings back to its original position it will automatically be latched and closed thus eliminating a manual closing by the person entering, or exiting the area. Without question the KENY extra tall Pet/Baby gate is a practical and safe solution in preventing access to areas, or rooms.

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.) © 2026 BOB SKIDMORE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CES, A/K/A The Consumer Electronics Show with over 4000 exhibitors, took place again at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV from January 6-9. With an attendance of over 1.23 million people, a 16% increase over last year, it was the place where manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the media gathered to show us what the future in technology goodies has in store for us in 2026 and beyond. It certainly left nothing to the imagination! Here are just a few brief highlights of products shown at the CES Show and expected to be introduced and available in the near future:

Roborock Saros Rover: A robot vacuum cleaner with wheel attached legs that unfold when the robot has to climb stairs. The robot’s design allows it to navigate up and down a staircase while stopping at each step to clean it. It’s designed to tilt, crouch and even hop as needed to avoid any obstacles in its way. Roborock has indicated that the product is not available yet, but is still preparing it for a launch in the near future. Price TBA.

Lockin Veno Pro & V7 Max: Smart locks that do not require you to ever recharge/replace their batteries. Instead of using removable batteries this lock’s design uses Lockin AuraCharge, an external device that you plug in from up to 13’ away. The AuraCharge is a transmitter that shoots an invisible light beam to the smart lock thus continuously powering its battery supply. The Lockin Veno Pro is designed as a deadbolt, whereas the V7 Max is a Mortise lock which is less common in the US market. The Pro model is expected to be released this year with a retail of about $350. The V7 Max has dual cameras and will show you who’s at the door, at an anticipated cost of $1000. Availability probably in early Summer.

Robotin R2: Is a robot carpet cleaner that can wash, scrub and dry carpets autonomously. It features a removable vacuum module that can be replaced with a carpet cleaner thus enabling it to perform both vacuuming and carpet washing in a single operation. It is currently in production with price and availability TBA.

Segway Navimow X4:A robot mower that requires no RTK antenna or boundary wire. It uses a combination of cameras, sensors and LiDAR to navigate. Can handle inclines as steep as 84% (40 degrees). Preorders are now being accepted. $2499 - $2999 depending on coverage area size.

Botslab W101 Window Camera: This unique camera easily mounts on a window without any drilling. Features two 2.5K cameras, an outward and inward one. Great for spotting package delivery. Great for apartments, patio doors, or windows. $50, availability TBA.

IXI’S Autofocusing Lenses: These glasses are designed for farsightedness. Combines cameraless eye tracking with liquid crystal lenses that automatically activate when the glasses detect the user’s focus shifting. This eliminates having two prescriptions since they automatically switch between each prescription. The frames are lightweight and look like a pair of normal glasses. Availability and cost TBA.

WheelMove Wheelchair Attachment: A Portable wheelchair attachment that turns any standard wheelchair into an electric one. A portable attachment allows users independence though this battery-powered, remote controlled attachment. Simply attached to the front of any standard wheelchair the device lifts the wheelchair’s smaller front wheels off the ground. Once attached, the rider controls the movement with a basic remote control. The attachment weighs under 20 lbs that includes its 10” wheel, 250 watt motor and a battery that goes about 15 miles. Naturally, carrying an additional battery(s) can extend the range before needing to be recharged. Made in France it’s expected to be available in the US later this year at around $6000.

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!
