The Coolest Gadget EVER

Hey gang I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right catagory so I'm going to post it in indoor growing as well. I just returned from the dollar store "Dollar General" where i found the most interesting gadget. It's a small car alarm style remote control that goes on your keychain and a receiver that plugs into an electrical socket. The transmitter has two small buttons on it on and off which control an outlet on the receiver. Its made by Stanley and i found it by the Christmas lights and extension cords. According to the package its rated at 1000 watts. I Figure having a kill switch in your pocket can't hurt right? Somebody shows up at your house and their getting a little to close to say the buzzing and whooshing coming from your indoor garden just reach into your pocket and shut it all down. Only Question i have is whether or not each unit operates on individual frequency's or there all the same.I figure Stanley being a decent brand there probably individual but I'm not sure so if anyone buys more then one maybe you could answer that question for me. The whopping price of this added little piece of security is $10. To me at least the peace of mind it will bring me is worth far more then ten bucks even if i never use it.

I think you're looking for category "Toke N Talk" seems to me would be the best place for this thread, but since you've posted here ... that gadget sounds neat, how did it cost you ten bucks if you got it at the dollar store, what's the actual name, can you post a picture of the packaging/device?

Peace!

the one i found was just like this but without the optional special effects, just on and off on mine but I'm sure something like this would work too

Cool, thanks password for the information, I just may place a bid on that one on ebay, just for the lightshow it displays, I think it would be cool something for when I'm smoking my own bud on xmas (first timer) I should have something to harvest by then.. if interested check out my current grow journal,

only problem i have had so far is that the buttons may need to be filed down a little so you cant push em by accident in your pocket. But still i love this thing, great for playing jokes on friends and family too, just plug it in in there room and let em spend all night figuring out why there tv wont stay on.
