Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

FTC Disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we want to be fully transparent about our relationship with the products and services mentioned on HardwareCommander.

Amazon Associates Program

HardwareCommander is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click on an Amazon product link on our site and subsequently make a purchase on Amazon.com, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price as you would by visiting Amazon directly.

How This Affects Our Content

Our content is based on publicly available product information, not personal testing. We compile specs, manufacturer data, and general user sentiment from public sources to create informative comparison posts.

Our affiliate relationship with Amazon does not influence:

  • Which products we cover
  • The ratings we assign based on spec analysis
  • Our honest assessment of a product's strengths and weaknesses
  • The accuracy of specifications and data we present

Content Transparency

We want to be completely honest about our content process:

  • We are not a product review site — we are an information aggregation and comparison site
  • We do not claim to have personally tested, used, or handled every product we feature
  • Our analysis is based on publicly available manufacturer specs, widely reported user feedback, and objective data comparison
  • We clearly state when information comes from the manufacturer versus general user consensus
  • We never fabricate personal experiences with products

Amazon Pricing & Availability

Product prices and availability on Amazon are subject to change at any time. Any price or availability information displayed on our site at the time of your visit may differ from what you see on Amazon when you actually make a purchase. We do not hard-code prices on our site — we always direct you to check Amazon for the current pricing.

Not an Amazon Spokesperson

HardwareCommander is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting as a spokesperson for Amazon.com. We are an independent participant in their Associates Program. All Amazon trademarks are the property of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Product Trademarks

All product names, brand names, and trademarks mentioned on this site (including but not limited to DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, Craftsman, Ridgid, Stanley, Klein Tools, and others) belong to their respective owners. HardwareCommander is not affiliated with or endorsed by any tool manufacturer.
