    shopping for digital camcorder

    I've been a media producer for 10 years and It really depends on what type of videos you plan to make. A DSLR will make a good image and allow you to change lenses, but most models lack comprehensive audio controls that allow for external microphones. On the other hand an action cam like GoPro...

    Question for those who remove wheels

    You'll probably want to get the friction ring model. This will make changing sockets much easier. I think the pin detent model is more for the trades that work at elevated height. The detent makes it almost impossible for the socket or attachment to come off without depressing the pin. As for...

    Rupes 15 MkII shipping

    I did the pre-order for the 15 MkII at the beginning of December and it arrived at my office yesterday. The new rubber bumper and hand molds look really nice. I can't wait to test out the performance on the new motor. My only minor gripe is they should have designed a second rubber bumper...

    Extreme brake dust - Process & Products

    I didn't think of Iron-X Paste. I'm going to try to do a couple more rounds of regular Iron-X and take some pictures soon.

    Extreme brake dust - Process & Products

    I wanted to get some fresh insight as how everyone deals with baked-on brake dust on painted wheels with clear coat. I've got a BMW that has stock brake pads and rotors. They have a reputation for a ton of brake dust. The car has only undergone maintenance washing for the last year and I'm...
