We test the gear so you don't waste your money.

Shaken Garage is the truck and garage arm of Shaken Digital. We started because every other "best of" list on the internet is either a regurgitated spec sheet or a paid placement dressed up as a review.

Everything we recommend gets used. The truck stuff goes in our truck. The shop tools live on our bench. If something is junk, we say it's junk. If the $40 version is just as good as the $200 version, we say that too.

How we test

For each review, we put the gear through real jobs — a brake job on a salt-belt truck, a weekend deck build, a 5am driveway battery dead. We track break-down torque, runtime, weight, balance, noise, and the small annoyances that don't show up in product photos.

How we make money

When you click a "Check on Amazon" button and buy something, Amazon pays us a small commission. It costs you nothing extra. We don't take payment from brands and we don't change a recommendation because a brand asked us to.
