Dollar Daze: Memory Card Slot Cleaner for $1

Every month or so we push a shopping cart around our local dollar stores to see what high-tech goodies we can find. This time we found a 4-in-1 memory card slot cleaner from LaserLine for a cool buck.


Clear_connections_memory_card_slot_Every month or so we push a shopping cart around our local dollar stores to see what high-tech goodies we can find. This time we snagged a 4-in-1 memory card slot cleaner from LaserLine — for a cool buck.

Memory card slots are not self-cleaning, so a few products on the market claim to reduce problems caused by dust, lint and fuzz. Potential issues include lower read-write speeds, error messages or even corrupt data if the contacts become damaged.

Clear Connections is a patented 4-in-1 memory card slot cleaner that looks like a large orange Swiss Army Knife. But instead of camping utensils, four different white heads flip out of the body for various types of memory card slots (namely, Memory Stick, Compact Flash, SecureDigital and USB card slots). Simply insert and remove. That’s it.

Found at Dollarama locations, this $1 kit also contains a microfibre cleaning cloth and nylon brush for hard-to-reach places.

Hey, have you found any goodies for a Loonie? Do tell!
