This page explains how Drive Toolkit makes money, and what that means for what you read here. We would rather over-explain this than have you wonder.
How the site is funded
Drive Toolkit participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program that lets sites earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, the site earns from qualifying purchases. This is also set out in the Privacy Policy.
What that means for you
- You never pay more. An affiliate link costs you exactly the same as going to the retailer directly. The commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.
- A commission does not decide a recommendation. If the right answer for your job is the cheaper tool, the older tool, or no new tool at all, that is what the guide should say.
- A commission is not a reason to inflate a tool's capability. This site's whole position is that the number on the box is not the number you get. See the Editorial Policy.
What a mention means
A product mentioned on this site is mentioned because it is relevant to the job the guide is about. It is not a warranty of that product's safety or fitness for your specific lift, and it never overrides the manufacturer's load chart and manual. Please read the Disclaimer before acting on any equipment recommendation.
Cookies and tracking
Affiliate programs, including Amazon, use cookies to attribute a sale to the referring site. How that works, and what data is involved, is covered in the Privacy Policy.
