These little teeth fit right up underneath the flange. That's it. >> No more stir sticks. No more rusty lids. No more picking chunks out of the paint or off the wall. Twist the pole. Boom. Remove it. Put in your new bulb. >> Very simple. >> We drill a hole. And with the same tool, we're going to drive [music] the screws. All one tool. >> All right, guys. This is one of the last videos that you're ever going to see from the National Hardware Show simply because it doesn't exist anymore. It has been broken up into two separate shows. One is called the DIY con and that is where inventors can come and showcase off their products to the public and get feedback and find out what people really think of their stuff. And then there's a second show where they can go and figure out how to market their goods and services. So, let's check out these last videos from the last National Hardware Show. Let's go. Alex, what are we looking at with this one now? >> Absolutely. So, uh, this is a, think of this as a, it's called prevent a clog. Think of it as a kitchen garbage disposal for your toilet so that you never have to use a plunger again. >> So, this is it right here. Right there. >> You install it in your toilet. >> In your toilet. >> Okay. So, take it away. Tell me about it. >> Absolutely. So, you install in your toilet with suction cups so it doesn't scuff the toilet. Real easy to remove or install. And it's got a motorized ring gear mechanism. So, when you turn it on, the blades rotate as you can see over here. breaking the, you know, the waste or toilet paper into smaller pieces so it doesn't get stuck in the piping. >> Septic systems >> uh definitely will work for that. >> Yeah, septic systems. All you need is water flow. >> Your mounting kit is there and it hooks up to a battery. >> Yeah. So, you can either plug it to an outlet, but most people don't have outlets by their toilet. So, here's the rechargeable lithium battery that comes with the product. So, you connect the wiring to it and you only have to charge it once every couple of months. >> What is it called? It's called prevent a clog. That's a trademark. >> Prevent the clog. >> All right. >> Correct. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> What are we looking at with this one? >> That's a caulking finger tool for smoothing caulking. >> Motto is why wear out your finger, use mine. >> Very cool. Okay. >> Just uh >> take put the caul in there. Got a little bucket with a little water right here. >> Yeah. >> Smooth it out. Smooth. Take that. Stick it back down in that bucket border. Spin it around. Cleans itself off. You never have to touch the caulking. >> The caulking finger. >> Yes, sir. >> Where do you guys find this at? >> The caulking finger.com. They're $9.99. >> Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> All right, Scott. What are we looking at with this one now? >> This is the hammerhead snow shovel. You've got shark teeth on the top. Tears up packed snow right off your driveway. Okay. And it also has a neat little trick. Sometimes you want a straight blade. >> Lock it in. And now you've got a straight blade for up against the house with stairs. >> So this is a twoin one. >> Twoin one. >> What when do you need the teeth, Scott? >> So the teeth is when you have packed snow and really for any kind of shoveling. It works great as a snow pusher in general, but when you drive over the driveway and you've got those pesky packed tire marks, >> yep. >> They'll tear that right up. >> And that's called the what? >> The hammerhead snow show. >> All right, Tim. What are we looking at with this one now? >> Here we are looking at the chandelier swan. Chandelier Swan allows you to change a upward-f facing light bulb without climbing up on a ladder, hiring an electrician, or having to put up scaffolding. Simply slip it over, twist the pole. Boom. Remove it. Put in your new bulb. Move back over. Works best from the second corner landing. Place it back in. Twist. Voila. You have a new light bulb. We have version for the Edison, for the CFL, for the A19, for the candle. Candle Labbrush light bulb. >> So, this it'll change all of these but with a different head configuration. >> Different set of feet. >> And you're not supplying the handle. You're just supplying the attachment. >> Correct. We only supply the attachment. You just the handle. You probably have a push broom handle at home or a painters pole. And it all depends on how far out you need to reach. >> What is this called? >> This is called the Chandelier Swan. It was originally called the Grover 4000 on an episode of the Dirt Monkey 3 years ago. Rebranded thanks to the Dirt Monkey of Catherine Ever. >> Chandelier Swan. Thank you, sir. Where do you guys find it at? >> You can find it at our website, chandelierwan.com. >> Thank you, sir. Matt, what are we looking at with this one, though? So, this product is called the fan pivot. And when you're spraying paint, you have to manage this hose. And it it really becomes a problem to do this all day long. What the fan pivot does is it allows you to spray in multiple directions, maybe left and right on an item that needs this, like this table, or to spray vertically with just a touch of a finger. You can rotate that fan, and now it's ready for spraying in a vertical motion. If I want to move on to something else, I can rotate it right back and spray another horizontal item. >> No twisting your arm. Uh, no adjustment time. You're done. >> Where do you guys find this at, Matt? >> Fanpivot.com. >> Thank you, sir. >> You bet. >> Aaron, what are we looking at? >> This is Wall Webb. It's an internal hole repair device fixing drywall. >> How does it work? >> Okay, so it comes completely packed like this. So, you put this in the wall. You pull that open and you can use this to open up the the backing to the other side of the drywall. Then you push that back and it gives you the flat surface wedged inside. >> And now you have a complete package for >> We do. We have a complete pack for the DIY. [laughter] >> It comes complete with our own spackle and you can you can um get results like this here. >> So this is what it looks like once it's actually installed. >> Correct. So that's what it looks like once it's installed. And you can see at the front it's nice and smooth. Uh you don't have to worry about building it out. You just flush surface. >> Where do you guys find this at? >> Yeah, you can get this from the warweb.com or you can get it on Amazon. >> All right. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> All right. What are we looking at with this one, Will? >> Okay. This is the push pilot. >> What did I just see there, Will? >> So what what you saw was the push pilot working. Um, the push pilot is a a >> Oh my hell. >> The push pilot is an arbor that goes to any traditional hole saw. And what happens is it drills into this wood, this 38 of an inch, and then starts pushing into this internal spring-loaded chamber. And then once the pressure from the drilling is released, the puck is released and it's ejected out of the whole saw. >> So it automatically ejects it instead of having a clogged up arbor. >> Yeah, that's correct. So So you never have this problem again. You could be on a ladder or on the ground. You've got a hot saw that you're trying to drill or get a piece of wood out that's stuck. It just lets let you keep drilling and hands-free ejection. >> Perfect. What is it called? Where do you guys find it at? >> This is the push pilot. You can get it at pushpilot.net. >> Awesome. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> What are we looking at with this now? What is this? >> This is a cing drill for cing through studs for electrical, plumbing, HVAC security, whatever installation. Anytime you need to put a wire or cable through a stud, two table four, two table six, whatever, this drill does it safely, cleanly, accurately, every time. >> Handsree. >> Handsree. No pain to the user. It's a beautiful thing. >> Let's see it operate. >> Going slow at the moment, but when it does real, very fast. Let's pull this vacuum tube off as well, so you can look down it. >> So now you guys are looking to license this or sell the intellectual property of this to like Milwaukee tools, DeWalt, Bosch, any one of the big players. >> Any one of the big players. We could take this forward ourselves, but even if we got the manufacturing working properly for us, we'd then have to look to marketing it against Milwaukee. >> How do they get a hold of you? Well, we're available. >> Hold that card up for me. This is how they get a hold of you. >> Awesome. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I don't know why guys haven't done this before. Go ahead. Give me your 30 secondond pitch again cuz this is kind of cool. I mean, it's just a bag, but it's a dang cool. >> Yeah. So, instead of keeping your paint in a can, right? You can pour it into a stop-loss bag, squeeze the air out like a marinade, put the lid on, shelf stable for over a dozen years, right? And when you want to do a touch-up paint job, takes about a minute and a half, right? No more stir sticks, no more rusty lids, no more picking chunks out of the paint or off the wall. Minute and a half, pour out just what you need and you're good to go back on the shelf. Contractors can just put their business card right on top so that when a homeowner wants to do a touch-up job, why wouldn't they just call you back, right? >> And this is your contact right here? >> That's my contact right there. I'm out of Minnesota as well. Right. I took 20 paint cans from my basement paint closet, put them all into a banker's box, right? It takes up one-third the amount of room as a paint can does. So, you get that whole paint closet back. Homeowners love it. Right? If you're a paint contractor, stop giving them a 5gallon bucket with this much paint in it all crusted over. Give them something that looks good. Leave them with a good impression. >> Thank you, sir. >> You're awesome. >> All right, Sam. What are we looking at with this one? >> Sage brush clip magnetic brush and tool holder. It makes it easy to pop the paint can lids off. Slides right on. Hold your wet paint brush so you don't get it everywhere. So you can break off with. >> All right. >> These are all >> Wait, there's more. >> Wait, there's more. Okay. >> Also is a stud finder. It'll find the heads of the drywall screws in your wall and you'll know where your studs at. Also folds fasteners so you don't put them in your mouth. sage brush clips. Thank you, sir. >> All right, Adam. It's a handle. What makes this handle special? >> All right. First of its kind handle that clips to the outside of the bucket. These little teeth fit right up underneath the flange. That's it. Whatever you do on one side, it's a mirror image on the other side. Helps distribute the weight, make it easier to carry.

It is a portable barbecue grill and you can open it up. It also serves as a smoker. You can bake with it. Let's open it up here. You've got multi-level cooking down here. Now, when you close it back down now, is this a functional point right here? Like this. >> What's that? >> Like this? >> Yes, you can use it like this. Usually you would remove these grill grates, put some wood in there, and it works great as just a fire pit as well. So you could just roast your marshmallows or hot dogs over top of here, especially in places where you got to contain the flames. There's a lot of places you can't have open flames. This would qualify as that. And then you can spin this around. So that lid locks down with this little hinge right here, this little latch. You just put that down and then you can take it with you wherever you go. Put it into your truck bed, RV. It's great for camping. fits underneath the tano cover. It looks like you got a draft control. So, draft control there. We'll open it back up again. And there's also one on the top here. Those are valuable to have. And then, let me show you a little bit about how the convert kits work. You can get an angle over here. I might have to turn the unit. So, it just comes out to the back here. So now there's more because this is >> a charcoal grill, a propane grill, and a plet grill allin one. >> Multif fuel. Yes. It's the only one that can uh take these different convert kits for multi. >> So this is set up for charcoal. >> Charcoal and wood. >> Pop it out. >> Pop this one out. >> Pop this one in right here.

But when I walk these trade show floors, I try to stop at every single booth that's there and find out if there's anything new or innovative. And if there is, whether I think it's interesting or not, I film it just because what may be like ring my bell may be something that you have zero interest in. And vice versa, I may look at it and go, "This is the dumbest thing ever." And somebody else will go, "What? This is amazing. So, I try to film everything and you were This is part two of the National Hardware Show. I have two more videos coming out and that's it. It's gone.
