Strange gadgets

The most useful item of the six, as you can attach LEGO pieces and join the pens together.

Wearable LEGO earrings shown without a real verdict.

A coaster with limited build space, but enough to build a biscuit-dunking crane.

A floating crocodile head to scare friends swimming in a pool or lake.

A small USB device that types random characters into a victim's computer and makes them rage.

Presented as a harmless prank where strangers think they have found a free AirPod.

He presents it as a handy way to put out fires automatically or from a safe distance, and seems impressed by the demo.

Better than expected with an animated LED display, but needing a power bank means it stays a novelty.

A convincing watch with a hidden 1080p camera and infrared night vision that impressed him.

Surprisingly well-made and comfortable fake trainers, though they were too small for him.

A much more convincing fake with a better screen, glass back and a camera that surprisingly matches the real thing.

A cheap, plastic knock-off with laggy animations, a huge bottom bezel and a clumsy copy of the Dynamic Island.

A phone grip that doubles as an extendable sun shade and fan, shown as a quirky gadget without a firm verdict.

A timed lockbox for a tech detox, though he jokes he accidentally set it for a whole hour.

A metal saber that feels responsive enough to make him feel ready to take on the dark side.

A fine option for the money, with thick plastic, a retractable blade and LEDs.

A cheap inflatable toy that he treats as a joke starting point.

A noticeable step up with better attention to detail and motion-sensor sounds.

A usable chair for $50, but calling it comfortable would be a stretch.

The $1 folding chair was too small and could not support his weight, so he scored it zero out of 10.

A frameless chair filled with tiny foam chips that he rated 9 out of 10 for comfort.

He is impressed that it is a real hologram display made from a spinning LED fan, not an editing trick.

Hologram wristbands sold on false performance claims, leading to a lawsuit and bankruptcy.

A late iPod copy that fixed none of the iPod's problems and was killed by the iPhone, a 6 out of 10 fail.
