While Garmin is known for its GPS products, its latest claim to fame has been dominating Best Buy product tables with a more recent technological invention: dash cams. While great at capturing your chaotic commute and offering YouTube hilarity, dash cams are meant to document unfortunate encounters on the road. […]

SOG EDC Pocket Multitool Review
In your everyday-carry setup, or EDC, where does a good multi-tool fall on your list of priorities? My personal EDC multi-tool, a Leatherman Squirt I’ve had for about a decade, is functional but basic. Given that it’s small, I’ve always been hesitant to use it hard. SOG’s Powerlitre is similarly […]
Gerchway Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor Review
A portable tire inflator is handy for keeping your tires pumped up and crucial when one of them starts letting you down. You want a compressor that’s easy to store in your vehicle, easy to use, and pumps up with enough speed that you don’t grow old while waiting for […]

You never know when a rogue nail will strike or when you’ll wake up to a flat tire. An immediate fix is necessary, but your spare donut is unavailable, and the tire is too low to drive on safely. A portable tire inflator is the solution. However, not all portable […]
Amazon Basics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths Review
What’s Dope About Amazon’s Microfiber Cleaning Cloths The best part of Amazon’s microfiber towels is that I can have them delivered to my doorstep in a day or two by clicking Buy It Now. I could even hit Amazon’s subscription option and keep my garage fully stocked with towels, though […]

Bad: Big equals heavy, with an actual weight of 9.9 ounces; lacks a level of refinement […]
Sellstrom XPS530 Safety Glasses Review
Eye protection has always been at the forefront of personal protective equipment (PPE). Whether in the garage or on the job site, safety glasses can save your vision—and possibly your life—if something goes awry. For most employers, price is the main consideration when it comes to PPE, because they’re buying […]
Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool Review
When Leatherman introduced the Pocket Survival Tool (PST) in the early 1980s, it established a form that’d become synonymous with the brand: a plier-centric multi-tool with several implements that fold out of its handles. The original PST was created to address the deficiencies of other multi-tools such as the venerable […]
Thinkware Q800PRO Car Dash Cam Review
Most dash cams today excel in no more than two areas, sacrificing image and video resolution for enhanced controls or vice versa. Some charge a premium for superior design, while others are blocky, minimalist boxes with cheap plastic buttons and fragile, hard plastic housings. Low specs combined with a lesser-known […]
USWE Core 25 Moto Backpack Review
I go on and on about my love for a good backpack in my Velomacchi review. I’ve purchased countless backpacks over the years and forgone roller bags and traditional luggage for them, even in the face of trips lasting several weeks. I’d call myself a backpack aficionado, a man with […]
Jackson Nemesis Safety Glasses Review
Jackson Nemesis safety glasses are everything your boss expects to get the job done, but they do it with a style and flair that goes against what most people imagine as personal protective equipment or PPE. Jackson offers an alternative to the cheap and uncomfortable with its Nemesis line, with […]
