Kitd (kitd.co.uk) is a participant in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates Programme. This page explains what that means for you as a reader.
Kitd is funded through affiliate commissions. When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site running and continue producing free content for UK tradespeople.
We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.co.uk. We may also participate in other affiliate programmes with retailers relevant to the trades industry.
It doesn’t. Our editorial opinions are entirely our own. We recommend products based on genuine research, real-world trade experience, and honest assessment of quality, value, and suitability for working tradespeople. We do not accept payment from manufacturers or brands to feature or recommend their products, and no advertiser or affiliate partner has any influence over our editorial content.
If we review a product and it’s not good enough to recommend, we say so. If a cheaper alternative outperforms a more expensive option, we say that too. Our credibility depends on honest recommendations, and we take that seriously.
When you click an affiliate link on Kitd and make a purchase, you pay exactly the same price as you would if you visited the retailer directly. The commission comes from the retailer, not from you. There is no additional cost, surcharge, or markup of any kind.
You are never under any obligation to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to search for products independently, we completely understand. We appreciate readers who choose to support the site by purchasing through our links, but it is always your choice.
Product links within our reviews, buying guides, and comparison articles are typically affiliate links. We include a clear disclosure notice at the bottom of every article that contains affiliate links, and this dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page is linked from the footer of every page on the site.
As an Amazon Associate, Kitd earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date and time indicated on our pages and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed at the time of purchase will apply.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we fund the site, please get in touch via the Contact page on kitd.co.uk. We’re happy to be transparent about how the business works.
If you’ve ever searched for tool reviews, you know the problem. Page after page of identical lists, stock photos, and vague descriptions that could apply to anything. The writers have never held half the products they recommend. They rank based on commission rates, not quality. We got fed up with it. Kitd was built to cut through the noise and give UK tradespeople reviews they can actually trust. We test gear properly, compare products head-to-head, and tell you the truth — even when that means saying a popular brand isn’t worth the money.
We don’t accept money from manufacturers for positive reviews. We don’t inflate ratings to boost affiliate sales. Every product on Kitd is evaluated on its own merits: build quality, performance, durability, and value for money. We compare similar products directly so you can see the real differences. We test in working conditions, not studio setups. And we update reviews when products change or better options arrive. If we recommend something, it’s because we’d genuinely use it ourselves. If something’s overpriced or overhyped, we’ll tell you that too.
Kitd covers everything a UK tradesperson needs. Power tools and hand tools — drills, drivers, multi-tools, saws, and more. Workwear and PPE — boots, trousers, jackets, gloves, and safety gear. Van and site equipment — racking, storage, lighting, and generators. Trade software — job management, invoicing, quoting, and accounting platforms. Training and certifications — courses, qualifications, and career development. We focus exclusively on the UK market, with UK pricing, UK stockists, and reviews relevant to how tradespeople actually work here. No American voltages, no products you can’t buy.
We’ll never recommend something we wouldn’t use ourselves. We’ll never hide a product’s flaws to protect affiliate income. We’ll always disclose when links earn us commission — it’s how we keep the site running, but it never influences our verdicts. We’ll update content when things change, because outdated reviews help nobody. And we’ll always prioritise your time — giving you clear recommendations without making you scroll through endless padding. Kitd exists to help you make better decisions about your gear. That’s it. No hidden agenda, no corporate sponsors, just honest information.
