Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

How We Make Money

Build Coded is a reader-supported publication. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. That commission funds our tool testing, project builds, and writing.

Our Retail Partners

We participate in affiliate programs with retailers relevant to DIY, tools, and electronics. When we link to a product at a retailer we partner with, that link may earn us a commission.

What We Promise

• The pick comes before the program. We choose what to recommend first, then check whether an affiliate program exists. Many of our recommendations earn us nothing.
• Commission rates never move a ranking. The best tool wins, not the best payout.
• Safety first, always. On electrical and structural projects, we will always tell you when to hire a professional instead of buying anything.
