Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: February 2026

Affiliate Relationships

GageRef is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that lets independent sites earn referral fees by linking to products on Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate, GageRef earns from qualifying purchases.

How It Works

Some pages on this site contain links to products on Amazon.com. These links include an affiliate tracking tag. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, GageRef receives a small commission from Amazon. This happens without changing your price. You pay the same either way.

What This Does Not Affect

Affiliate relationships have zero influence on the technical content of this site. Specifically:

Specifications are sourced from published AWS standards and manufacturer data sheets. They are the same regardless of whether we earn a commission.

Amperage ranges are compiled from multiple manufacturer recommendations. They are not adjusted to favor any product or brand.

Comparison guidance (when to choose one electrode over another) is based on the technical properties, intended applications, and limitations defined by the AWS classification system. We do not favor products that generate higher commissions.

Recommendations are the same whether you buy through our link, through a local welding supply shop, or through any other retailer.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this site are grouped in clearly labeled sections ("Where to find this electrode" or "Where to buy") and are accompanied by a disclosure statement. They do not appear inline within technical specifications or editorial content.
