I hate to burst your hacking bubble, but this product has been around for a long time. You can find several models at Home Depot or your local home store.
Ya as I mentioned in the post it's nothing new. But what's discussed in the latter half of the post is why it is not available half way around the world from USA.

Do you realize that the nearest Home Depot is half a world away? All of this has been addressed in the article.
