Hi Everyone

This channel (Tom's Man Shed) will occasionally contain affiliate links,which means I receive a small commission on a purchase without any additional cost to you, if you buy something through my links.

Many of my reviews are on tools and stuff from Lidl who I have no association with whatsoever (other than a regular customer) and I receive no commission from them ... I buy all the items.

I will only include links to items used in the videos which will mainly be Amazon ones as that's my preferred site for buying stuff ....if the link includes any affiliate commission I will include the word "affiliated" before the link.

If you do purchase an item through my affiliate link thank you so much for your support as every little penny helps me do the reviews.

Tom
