    The Gizmo

    Ron has long sung the benefits of using the Black & Decker Gizmo to press and steam kilts. Well for about six months or so, I have been using one, and I am here to tell you, that he is right on!

    This thing Works!

    Give it a try guys. They can be found many places on the net, and for much cheaper than they were when Black & Decker was in full promotion. In fact, I am thinking of getting another one, and just putting it away in the closet, just in-case one craps out.

    Its full name is "Black & Decker Gizmo Steam n Crease Iron - C520"

    Size, amount of steam, the pressing/clamping action of the jaws, portability, ease of use right on the hanger....... Oh, and the fact that it's NOT an iron!!!

    I hate ironing!!!
