How we check specs

Saber listings are full of wrong numbers. Battery capacities get rounded up, “heavy grade” means different things at different shops, and the same soundboard is sold under three names. Here is how we keep our own numbers right.

Where specs come from

1. The manufacturer’s manual or datasheet, when one exists.
2. The product in hand: measured with calipers, a scale or a multimeter.
3. Seller listings, only when nothing better exists, and we say so.

A page is not indexed by search engines until every spec on it has been checked this way.

How picks are chosen

Buyer guides recommend sabers for a job: dueling, display, a first saber, a gift. We name what each pick is bad at and which cheaper choice would do. Commission rates do not decide picks, and brands cannot pay to be included.

Trademarks

We use character, film and brand names to say which hilt a replica is based on and which company makes it. Using a name does not mean that company endorses us or the product.
