Affiliate Disclosure

SAWOFF is reader-supported. We want you to know exactly how the site makes money, and how that does — and does not — affect what we publish.

How SAWOFF Makes Money

SAWOFF is a participant in the AliExpress Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to AliExpress.com. We may also join other affiliate programs in the future.

When you click an affiliate link on this site and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you arrive through our link or go directly to the retailer.

Affiliate links are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" per FTC guidelines.

What Affiliate Income Never Buys

  • Affiliate commissions never determine our reviews, ratings, rankings, or "best of" lists.
  • We do not accept payment for reviews, ratings, or placements. Brands cannot buy coverage, a score, or a mention.
  • Our editorial process is identical whether or not a product has an affiliate link. If a product is not worth buying, we say so — a commission on one sale is not worth losing your trust.
  • Sponsored content is never disguised as editorial. If a page is sponsored or a sample was loaned by a manufacturer, that is disclosed on the page.

Editorial Independence

SAWOFF exists to help you choose and use chainsaws well. Being affiliate-funded does not change that mission: our editorial policy and testing methodology define how reviews are researched, evaluated, and scored, and both are published in full so you can judge the evidence yourself.

Links to Other Retailers

Some links on SAWOFF point to official manufacturer pages, local dealer locators, or other independent sources. These are not affiliate links unless the page says otherwise.
