Brake Tru

Saw a commercial for this today:

Brake Tru

Anyone have any experience with it? Seems as if an abrasive can't resurface a rotor as well as a machine but I could be wrong.

Any opinions?

Just looks like sand paper to me. I am wondering how you do the other rotors? You would have to take them off and switch wheels, what a hassle. They are trying to make it hassle free, at that point I mind as well have them turned rather than buy this product. I just wonder about their claims with the whole groves thing.

i seriously doubt that'll turn them flat as a lathe would, it looks like the most it would do is break up glzed on pad material, not a bad idea but i wouldnt trust what it'll do to the rotor.

One of the biggest crock's I've ever seen. Grooves, as long as they are not extreme, are not an issue. Rotors do not need to be resurfaced for this, it's thickness variation that causes pulsation. Now you tell me how can a caliper that is designed to move supposed to take care of this? I bought a set and they are on their way just to see this thing for myself

I'd be too scared to attempt them. The instrutions want you to run your car with the front end suspended so the wheels can turn... I can just see someone useing jack stands, reving the engine, and have the car go flying.

Technical term for this product is:

A Piece of Shit!

It does nothing more than a very aggressive pad does! It's a stupid product.

To turn a rotor true requires a cutter that references the hub. Might as well just buy a flat grinding disk for a few bucks!
