The Gizmo

**James MacMillan** · 25th March 08, 04:53 PM

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"

What makes it so much better than a regular steam iron?

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!!!

I checked ebay the only B&D "gizmo" was a can opener. Will keep looking though.

did that and found wallpaper strippers. Problem is I search Ebay Canada as many Americans have issues shipping up here.

That looks like a very handy device.

There are two listed on eBay.ca right now--both from the USA. One for $16.28 + 21.00 shipping and another for $.99 + 15.95 shipping. Just search for: "Black & Decker Gizmo Steam n Crease Iron"

Actually, the more I think about that thingy, the more it looks like it feeds the water into the "burst of steam" bit and so it has to be flexible in order to work both horizontally and vertically.

Just get edgy when I take something out of the package and hear a little piece rattling around inside...

Best
