ToolGuyd published a list of 20 tools its readers bought on Amazon last month, based on a newly accessible “top products of the month” feature. The list names products but does not show how many were sold, so it offers a limited snapshot of reader interest rather than sales rankings with verified totals.
ToolGuyd has published a list of 20 tools that readers bought on Amazon last month through links associated with the site, using an Amazon-generated “top products of the month” list. The report offers a glimpse of products connected to reader purchases, but Amazon’s list does not disclose purchase counts, so it cannot show how many people bought any item or establish detailed sales rankings.
ToolGuyd said it found the auto-generated monthly lists after creating a new user account that could edit its Amazon influencer storefront lists. The site’s author wrote that earlier efforts to restore access had not worked, despite months of exchanges with Amazon support and attempts at a workaround. The report says the new account made it possible to view the product lists again.
The list covers 20 tools purchased by ToolGuyd readers on Amazon, according to the site. The article does not provide item-level quantities, sales totals, or a comparison with earlier months. ToolGuyd cautioned that the products shown are likely to be those it had posted about, meaning the list reflects the site’s own links as well as readers’ shopping choices.
The report also describes a separate Amazon tab that became available after Prime Day and showed “top linked products.” ToolGuyd said the feature did not provide more detail than that. Its author framed the monthly list mainly as a curiosity and said it could sometimes surface brands that are not often discussed on the site.
A Snapshot, Not a Sales Ranking
The list may help readers see which products other ToolGuyd readers chose to buy, and it can point the site toward less familiar brands for possible coverage. The author cited 711L pocket screwdrivers as an example: after readers mentioned the brand over time, the author said they had ordered about half of its lineup for potential use and review.
But the list has significant limits as evidence of broader demand. Without purchase counts, sales totals, or a stated comparison period beyond “last month,” readers cannot tell whether a listed product sold once or many times, or whether its position reflects a meaningful difference from other products. It is best read as a small, link-based snapshot, not a definitive measure of tool popularity across Amazon.
The source also discloses that ToolGuyd may earn an affiliate commission when readers buy through its links. That disclosure gives readers relevant information about the commercial relationship behind the links; it does not establish that commissions affected which products appeared in Amazon’s list.

Amazon Data Access Changed
ToolGuyd said Amazon previously provided more granular purchase information, including what was bought and how many units. The site’s author said that feature was removed last year. The report describes the former data as especially interesting during major promotions such as Prime Day and Black Friday, when it could help identify deals or trends the author might have missed.
The author also said Amazon’s influencer storefront list-editing system stopped working for the account they had been using. After nearly a year of unsuccessful support exchanges and independent attempts to restore access, a new user account appeared to allow edits and expose automatically generated monthly product lists. These details are ToolGuyd’s account of its experience; the report does not include a response from Amazon.
In the same article, the author said that the latest list became available after Prime Day had ended. The report does not give a precise date for the data or identify the 20 items in the source material provided here, so no individual product’s sales performance can be independently assessed from that information.

Counts and Ranking Details Missing
The article does not say how many times each of the 20 products was purchased, whether the order represents a ranked sales list, or what criteria Amazon uses to generate its monthly “top products” list. It also does not provide a precise date range for “last month” or comparison figures from previous months. Those gaps prevent readers from measuring changes in demand or distinguishing a single purchase from repeated sales.
It is also unclear whether the list includes every qualifying purchase tied to ToolGuyd links or only products surfaced by the storefront feature. The report does not include an Amazon comment about the feature or the author’s account-access problems. The product list itself is not included in the source material supplied for this article, so individual items beyond the 711L example cannot be named here.

Further Reader Buys May Follow
ToolGuyd’s author said the list might be more useful to share on the site’s social media platforms and floated publishing a separate post asking readers what they had recently bought. The report does not announce a schedule for another list or say whether Amazon will restore the older, more detailed purchase data.
For now, the next possible development is additional reader feedback or tool coverage prompted by products that appear in the monthly list. ToolGuyd said it had ordered several 711L screwdrivers for potential use and review, but it did not give a publication date or promise a review. Readers should treat the current list as a limited snapshot until fuller sales data or further reporting becomes available.
