Affiliate Disclosure
Tools Worth It takes part in affiliate programmes. This page explains what that means in plain terms, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials.
The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the seller pays us a commission. Your price is exactly the same. You are not charged extra, and you are never charged by us.
Which links
Assume that any link sending you somewhere you can buy something is an affiliate link. In practice those are the buttons and product links that pass through toolsworthit.com/go/ before landing on the seller's site. Links to documentation, news reports, standards bodies and other reference material are not affiliate links and earn us nothing.
Every page carrying affiliate links says so at the top, before the content, not buried at the bottom.
What the commission does not buy
- It does not decide whether a product appears here.
- It does not decide the order of a comparison table.
- It does not remove a drawback, and does not soften one.
- It does not stop us naming a cheaper or better alternative — including alternatives that pay us nothing.
We are not claiming to be free of bias. We are paid when you buy, and that is a real conflict of interest. We are telling you it exists so you can weigh what you read accordingly.
Tracking
When you follow an affiliate link, the seller normally records that you arrived from us — usually with a cookie or a tag in the address, set by them, on their site, under their privacy policy. That is how a commission gets attributed. We do not receive your name, your email address, your payment details, or anything else about your order beyond an anonymous count of sales. See our privacy policy for what we collect on this site, which is close to nothing.
Prices and availability
Prices shown here were correct on the date printed beside them and may have changed since. The seller's own page is always the authority. Nothing here is an offer of sale; we do not sell, ship or support any product mentioned.
