Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on Fix It Yourself are affiliate links. That means if you click one and buy something, I may earn a commission from the seller. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same either way.

Every page with an affiliate link says so near the top of the page and again in the disclosure at the bottom.

One pick per page

• Each repair guide recommends one main product — the one tool that makes that job easier — in a box near the top, with the same link once more in the step where you use it. Every other tool in the guide is listed as plain text, with no link. Buy it wherever you like, or use what you already have.
• The earthquake guide features one ready-made emergency kit from Redfora, plus Amazon links to five key add-ons for people who build their own: water storage, a NOAA weather radio, a gas shutoff wrench, a water-heater strap kit, and furniture straps.
• Product links go to Amazon.com, except the featured emergency kit, which goes to Redfora.com.
• A commission never changes the safety advice. If a job needs a licensed pro, the guide says so, whether or not there's a product to link.
• Prices aren't listed because they change. Check the price on the seller's site before you buy.
