These are the rules every guide on Detail Sander Guide is written and updated against.
Independence
- No brand, retailer or manufacturer pays to be included, ranked or reviewed.
- Affiliate commissions never decide what we recommend. A guide will tell you when the cheaper option, a rental, or a tool you already own is the better answer.
- We do not accept free products in exchange for coverage.
Accuracy and honesty
- We never invent prices, discounts, star ratings, review counts, test results or awards.
- We do not show prices on the site, because they change constantly. Amazon links take you to the product page, where the current price is shown.
- Specifications are taken from manufacturer documentation and checked against the product listing at the time of writing.
- Claims about safety follow manufacturer instructions and published occupational-health guidance on wood dust, noise and eye protection.
How recommendations are reached
Our process is explained in full on How We Research. In short: we start from the job, not the product; compare specifications and documented trade-offs; weigh long-run owner experience; and say plainly who each recommendation suits and who should skip it.
Updates
Products are discontinued, revised and renamed. We review guides when that happens, and the date at the top of each article shows when it was last updated. A guide is only marked as updated when its content has genuinely changed.
Corrections
If you find an error — a wrong specification, an outdated product, unclear safety advice — please tell us through the contact page. We review every report, fix confirmed errors promptly, and update the article’s date when a correction changes its substance.
Affiliate links and advertising
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links are labelled with a disclosure near the top of every article that contains them, and they are marked sponsored for search engines. The site also displays a limited number of Google ads, which are kept separate from recommendations. See the Affiliate Disclosure for details.
