Our own drawings instead of product photos
We designed the product drawings, the pictograms and the cross-section of tire and rim on the homepage ourselves. They are schematic: each one shows the principle of a type of tool, not a specific model. We deliberately do not use product photos from Amazon or from manufacturers.
AI-generated scene images
The images listed below were generated with an AI image model from OpenAI. They are symbolic illustrations and not photographs:
- They do not show real places, real people or real events.
- The tools in them are generic. No image depicts a specific product that this site links to, and none is evidence of how a product looks or performs.
- They are marked “AI-generated” in the caption wherever they appear.
