- How we pick
One pick per job. Earned, not bought.
No brand pays for a slot. Here's exactly how a product gets on Stapl, and what each label means.
01
Name the job
Every product answers one question: what does it replace? If we can't name the thing it trades out, it doesn't get a slot.
02
Read the brand, not the ads
Specs, materials, sizes and stock come from the brand's own site. We date every price and recheck daily.
03
Say who should skip it
Every page has a Skip it if and a Worth knowing. If a pick has a catch, you see it before you buy.
04
Test, then seal
Everything starts Pending. The Approved seal only appears after a hands-on test.
The seals
Pending. Brand-stated specs, dated price, not yet tested by us.
Approved. Only after a hands-on test.
