    Black & Decker Gizmo "Steam & Crease" Iron

    On the recommendation of a couple members here, I just scored a Black & Decker Gizmo Steam And Crease Iron (new, unopened) on Ebay for $13.50 - shipped.

    Should do a good job on the pleats and wrinkles. Will let you know.

    It's not made for heavy ironing, but it works pretty good for touching up a few pleats while the kilt is hanging.

    That's pretty much what I'm looking for it to do.

    You're gonna love it Doublewood,

    I've had a lot of portable steamers over the years, this is the best yet.

    That duck bill clamp thingie is great for maintaining law and order with pleat curl in any fabric.

    Seems like a deal on the price, depending on shipping. They're about $25 USD at the big box stores.
