Common questions

How do we decide which tools & home improvement products are worth it?

Every product goes through the same process: manufacturer specs, the product listing, verified owner feedback and, where we have one, our own video review. The score reflects what the product does against what it costs and against the alternatives shoppers actually consider. We don't accept free products or payment for reviews.

How often is this list updated?

Whenever we publish a new tools & home improvement review it lands here and the ranking recalculates by score. If a product stops being worth it we change its verdict rather than quietly removing it.
