    A few new things?

    I've been using Kwazars for my Adam's stuff for awhile now.
  2. I suppose it's part of the growing pains of expanding as a company, but I've noticed that a lot of products seem to be out of stock a lot more than they were a few years ago. There was a period for awhile where you couldn't even buy a gallon of Car Shampoo, which is the most basic product for washing your car. It doesn't matter how good the products are if they aren't in stock.
  3. You probably don't have a 50 Hz power system in your house either. I think Adam just inadvertently copied the stats from the export version of the Cyclo instead of the domestic version. Cyclo's website shows the 115V version: http://cyclotoolmakers.com/Model_5Pro.php Same stats, just setup for the 115V/60Hz that we have here instead of the 220V/50V which is commonly found in Europe and other parts of the world.
  4. He put Flaco in parenthesis so I thought he meant this Chris:
  5. Is Mook supposed to be on that list or did I miss him leaving too?
  6. I haven't been on the forum for awhile because I was out to sea, but I never expected to see this when I got home. It was Dylan's presence on the GRRRR8.net forum and then here that initially drew me towards Adam's products. Thanks for the help over the years, Dylan. Even though we've never met or even talked on the phone you were always my go-to person via email or PM. Good luck with whatever path you choose next.
  7. Sorry to hear she had to go through that but glad to hear everything's now ok.
  8. I've bought a lot of used Snap-on off of eBay. You have to look around and often have to play the bidding game but sometimes you can find great deals. Of course this doesn't help when you need a tool for the project you're working on. That's where Sears used to be great because you could just walk in and buy it off the shelf.
  9. So, when are you gonna start marketing this as the 'Dylan von Kleist Wash Method,' complete with shaky cam promo videos?
  10. Oh I agree with you, I probably should've added a sarcasm smiley to my post. I think Amazon is being a little too ambitious with that project and hasn't thought of the many common sense real-world problems that will arise with delivery drones. But back on topic, I agree with Rich. My dad is a truck mechanic and uses Snap-on and other "truck brands" at work, but he always swore by Craftsman for a home set of tools. I always loved going to Sears just to browse the tool section. I usually still do whenever I'm there, but now it's just sad seeing all the imported tools. Now I've started looking to other brands whenever I need a new tool.
  11. The last time I was in Sears I picked up some combination wrenches because I wanted to complete my metric collection in the larger sizes before the store was all out of the US made stock. Once you see the US and Chinese made wrenches side-by-side it's impossible to confuse the two. The open end of the Chinese version is like a huge lobster claw, presumably larger to make up for lower quality steel. Here are someone else's pics from another forum that show this clearly: My biggest concern is if my US made tools ever fail, now I'll probably get the Chinese junk as a warranty replacement. I remember when Craftsman used to advertise this: I suppose bigger profit margins are more important than pride nowadays.

    The Talking Boat

    Saw this on Jalopnik, but for whatever reason I couldn't stop laughing.
  13. Don't worry, you aren't crazy yet. $300 may seem like a lot but that's still a noob level.
  14. And on the flip side of that, how many people have watched the Fast and Furious movies and haven't been involved in street racing because they're responsible people and can distinguish between fiction and reality?
  15. When you're filming new videos, why don't you stop to answer phone calls from your buddy?
  16. Great review. I'm looking forward to trying this stuff out. As far as clay lube, it's a pretty significant financial issue. It's not uncommon to go through an entire 16 oz bottle of clay lube in a session and the difference between $45/gal Detail Spray and a $1/gal diluted rinseless solution isn't negligible. I love using Detail Spray when drying and as a quick detailer because of the extra shine it leaves behind, but as a clay lube it seems a waste.
  17. More info here: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/25426-new-adams-rinseless-car-wash-discussion/
  18. Well to be fair, not too long ago you were somewhat dismissive on looking into a rinseless: Unless that was all just misdirection to surprise us.
  19. Does clothing replacement fall under the 110% guarantee?
  20. I still have Machine Super Wax that I haven't used up yet. Never bought the Machine Super Sealant.
