How ToolRecs makes money

Last updated: October 25, 2026

Some links on ToolRecs are affiliate links. If you follow one and buy something, ToolRecs may earn a small commission. You pay the same price either way.

How it works

Each tool page and every ranking list has a "Check price on Amazon" button for each tool. They go to that tool on Amazon when we can find it there, or to an Amazon search for its name when we can't. Those links carry our Amazon Associates tag, so Amazon can tell the visit came from ToolRecs. Commissions help pay for hosting and for keeping the catalog up to date.

What affiliate links never change

Ratings come only from owner reviews, and experiences collected from around the web are kept separate from them. Rankings are worked out from those reviews. No brand or retailer pays to be listed, rated or ranked, and every tool gets the same Amazon button whether its reviews are glowing or harsh.

Amazon Associates Program

ToolRecs is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, ToolRecs earns from qualifying purchases.

Questions

ToolRecs only links to retailers; it doesn't sell anything or show prices, and we don't control Amazon's pages, prices or policies. Read more about the project on the About page.
