PUSH UP PRO
URL: http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/sab_ontv.html
DOES IT WORK? Yup
My review:
As someone that always been on the slight side, I welcomed a tool to help me build up my arms and chest. I'm also big fan of using low-tech, low-fuss equipment and exercises was eager to try the push up pro.
In short, seems to work as advertised. I am able to work out with deeper push ups and with less stress on the shoulders and wrists/hands. They don't feel like much (they are made of plastic and foam for cushion) but are holding up just fine. If I was going to change anything I would add more padding the handles.

SAVE A BLADE
SAVE A BLADE
URL: http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/sab_ontv.html
DOES IT WORK? Maybe (more research needed)
My review:
It sounds like a little bit of magic, sharpen those dull used razors and make them seem new again. To my untrained engineering mind it definitely seems possible to sharping a razor blade since people sharpen knives, straight razors, and even scissors all the time.
Well, the machine definitely does do something. That 'something' also makes a lot of noise. My results, the blade did seem sharper at first, but then quickly faded fast. It seemed faster than a normal new blade would.

MIGHTY PUTTY
MIGHTY PUTTY
URL: https://www.mightyputty.com/spark/index.php
DOES IT WORK? Not for me
I have to give Billy Mays credit. His description of Mighty Putty (tm) is enthralling, this stuff is better than duct tape and glue put together. It my two tests; the putty failed to stop a leak on a toilet connection and did not adhere to the wall when hanging a 2 pound rod. Plus it has pretty strong smell to it.
My other caveat is that epoxy resin is not some new invention, it has been around for a while available at any hardware store cheaper than offered on TV.

Hercules Hooks
URL: http://www.herculeshook.com/
Does it work? Not for me
I had high hopes for this product. After we moved into our new home, one of my first purchases was a pack of "Hercules Hooks" to hang our pictures and art work.
To my dismay, I was unable to puncture the drywall with the pointed end of the Hercules Hook. Since the metal hook is curved I was unable to use a hammer to assist. Could be because I am a runt with girly arms, or we have usually strong drywall.
