Corrections Policy

Errors on Toolbox Insider are corrected on the page, dated, and described in a correction note rather than quietly edited away, and any reader can report one.

Specifications change. Product lines get revised. Standards get updated. And sometimes we simply get it wrong. This page says what happens next.

What counts as a correction

TypeWhat we do
Factual error (wrong specification, wrong figure, wrong standard reference, wrong arithmetic)Corrected in place, with a dated correction note appended to the page.
Superseded specification (product revised, lineup changed, standard updated)Updated in place, page date revised, and noted inline where the change alters a recommendation.
Missing context (a claim that was true but misleading as written)Clarified in place, with a note if the original could have led to a wrong decision.
Typo, formatting, broken linkFixed without a note. A correction log full of typo entries hides the corrections that matter.

How a correction appears

A corrected page carries a dated note describing what was wrong and what it now says. We do not remove the description of the error, because the description is the part that lets a reader who acted on the old version know they need to recheck something.

Correction log

No corrections have been issued yet. As they are made, they will be listed here with the date, the page and a description.

How to report an error

Send the page URL, the specific claim, and what you believe the correct figure is, through the contact page. A source makes it faster: a manufacturer specification page, a standard reference, or your own measurement with the method described.

We take measurement reports seriously even when they conflict with published specifications, because published specifications are frequently wrong about real products. If you measured a box and it does not match the catalog, that is worth telling us, and we will describe it as a measured discrepancy rather than replacing one unverifiable figure with another.

What we will not change

We will not remove or soften accurate analysis because a manufacturer objects to it. If a specification is what it is, or an analysis follows from published figures, disagreement is welcome as a documented counter-argument and not as a deletion request.
