Editorial and Affiliate Policy

Who writes this site

I’m Tim, and I run this site. I did contracting and carpentry work for more than 10 years before I moved into tech. You can read more about me on the About page.

How I get the tools

I bought every tool I have reviewed with my own money and used it on the job. No company sees a review before it goes up, and nobody pays me for a good one.

Some links go to stores like Amazon. If you buy something through one of them, I may earn a small commission, and it does not cost you anything extra. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Commissions do not decide which tool wins or how I score it.

How I use AI

Every review is based on my own use of the tool. I sometimes use AI tools to help with research, drafting, and editing, and I check everything before it goes up. The experiences, measurements, scores, and opinions are always mine.

Updates and corrections

When I add new results, cover a newer model, or change my recommendation, the update log at the bottom of the article says what changed and when. The “Updated” date does not change for small fixes like typos. If you spot a mistake, email me at contact@timstoolreviews.com and I will fix it.
