If you’ve been poking around the site, you might’ve noticed something new: a little sidebar section I’m calling “Eric’s Picks.” It features tools, tech, or components I use in my own projects — and yes, some of those links point to Amazon.
Let me explain why I’m doing this.
Over the years, I’ve had tons of friends and family ask me, “What tool did you use for that build?” or “Which soldering station do you recommend?” and I’d send them the exact Amazon link to what I personally bought and use. So it hit me — if I’m already doing that, why not share those same recommendations here, too?
Here’s the part that matters:
Every single product I link to is something I actually own, paid for out of pocket, and use regularly. I’m not throwing up random affiliate links to make a buck — that’s not what FlesherNET is about. These are real tools that have gotten the job done for me on real projects.
And yeah, some of the links are affiliate links, which means if you click and end up buying, I get a small cut. It doesn’t cost you anything extra — but it does help support this site, which I’m committed to keeping free and open. No paywalls. No subscriptions. Just solid info and tools that I personally trust.
You’ll also find these links on the project pages themselves. If I used a tool for a specific build, I’ll link it there so you don’t have to hunt it down. It’s all part of the bigger mission: help others build cool stuff, faster, and with fewer headaches.
So whether you’re here for inspiration, resources, or just to geek out over tools — thanks for stopping by and supporting the ride.
Let’s keep building.
