ToolGuyd published a list of 20 tools readers bought on Amazon last month through links featured on the site. The list shows which products appeared, but not how many units sold, so it offers a limited snapshot rather than a sales ranking with volumes.
ToolGuyd has published a list of 20 tools its readers bought on Amazon last month through products linked on the site, offering a limited look at what attracted readers. The list does not include purchase totals or sales volumes, so it cannot show whether any item was bought once or dozens of times.
The list comes from an Amazon feature that generates monthly “top products” for ToolGuyd’s influencer storefront. The site’s author said the products appear to reflect items ToolGuyd had posted about, rather than a complete account of readers’ tool purchases across Amazon. The feature provides product names but, according to the report, no unit counts.
ToolGuyd said Amazon previously provided more granular purchase information, including what was purchased and how many units. The site’s author wrote that Amazon removed that feature last year. After months of unsuccessful attempts to restore access to storefront lists, the author said a newly created user account made it possible to edit the lists and find the automated monthly product selections.
The author described the list as a point of curiosity and said the information can occasionally surface brands that are not often discussed. One example was 711L, a brand readers had mentioned in connection with its unusual pocket screwdrivers. The author said they had ordered half of the lineup for possible use and review; that is a planned evaluation, not a published product assessment.
A Snapshot, Not a Sales Ranking
The list gives readers a way to see which linked products appeared in Amazon’s monthly storefront output, but its limits matter. Without purchase counts, prices paid or comparison periods, readers cannot tell whether a product was a popular choice, a one-off purchase or part of a broader shift in buying behavior.
For tool shoppers, the list may still be useful as a source of ideas, particularly when it surfaces brands or products that have received little coverage. But it should not be treated as an endorsement, a ranking by sales volume or evidence that listed tools performed well. The source report does not provide product reviews, buyer feedback or the criteria Amazon uses to generate the list.
The report also discloses that ToolGuyd may earn an affiliate commission when readers buy through its links. That relationship is relevant because the list covers products connected to the site’s own links and storefront. The report does not state that commissions affected which products Amazon included.

How Amazon’s List Became Available
ToolGuyd’s author said Amazon once supplied detailed information about purchases made through the site’s links, including the products and quantities. The author wrote that Amazon removed access to those details last year and that the loss was most useful during major shopping events, when the data could help identify deals or buying trends.
The author also described problems editing the Amazon influencer storefront lists, followed by months of chats with customer-service representatives and attempts to find a workaround. A new user account eventually allowed the author to edit the lists and locate Amazon-generated monthly product lists. After Prime Day, the author also found a “top linked products” tab, but said it did not provide more detail than the product listings.
The latest report is framed as an informal look at products readers bought, rather than a complete retail-market survey. Its scope is limited to the products surfaced through ToolGuyd’s Amazon links and the information Amazon made available to the author.
““It doesn’t say if there was 1 purchase, 5, or 50, it just lists them out.””
— ToolGuyd’s author
What the Product List Cannot Show
The source report does not name the 20 products in the material provided here, identify the calendar month covered, or give purchase totals. It also does not explain Amazon’s method for deciding which products appear, or whether the list is ordered by sales, another measure or an unspecified selection process. Readers should not infer a precise ranking from the phrase “top products.”
The report does not establish how many readers made purchases, how many transactions involved each item, or whether the products were bought at full price or on promotion. It also does not say whether products purchased without using ToolGuyd’s links are represented. The author’s planned 711L evaluation has not yet produced findings in this report.
Possible Reader Product Suggestions
ToolGuyd’s author suggested asking readers to share their recent tool purchases and invited them to do so. The report does not announce a schedule for another list or say whether Amazon will provide more detailed storefront data. For now, the author may share the product selections on ToolGuyd’s social media accounts.
The author also said they ordered several 711L products for possible use and review. Any future assessment would be separate from the monthly list; no publication date or review conclusions were provided. Until more information is released, the current list remains a product-level glimpse with no disclosed sales counts.
Key Questions
What did ToolGuyd publish?
ToolGuyd published a list of 20 tools readers bought on Amazon last month through products linked on the site, based on an Amazon-generated storefront list.
Does the list show how many of each tool sold?
No. ToolGuyd’s author said the list names products but does not give purchase totals, so the number of purchases for any item is unknown.
Is this a ranking of the best-selling tools on Amazon?
The report does not establish that. It describes products in ToolGuyd’s monthly Amazon storefront list, not a comprehensive Amazon sales ranking, and does not explain the ordering criteria.
Why did 711L come up in the report?
The author said readers had mentioned 711L pocket screwdrivers. After seeing interest in the brand, the author ordered part of its lineup for possible use and review, but did not publish test results in this report.
Could ToolGuyd earn money from purchases?
Yes. The source report says ToolGuyd may earn an affiliate commission when readers buy through its links. It does not say that commissions determined which products appeared in Amazon’s list.
