About Tech Writer EDC
Honest Advice & Opinions
Created as an extension of several social media accounts, Tech Writer EDC is an overview of what I think are the best gadgets and gear for people who want to save time, get honest advice, and lessen the aggravation of figuring out what to buy. (I also just wanted a spot to post more pictures!)
My recommendations are made from real world experiences and hands-on testing of the gear listed. Above all, my opinions and those of the other writers, are made independently, without any outside influence or paid promotions from the manufacturers, etc. There are some affiliate links throughout the site and these help support the cause – if a reader purchases something recommended here, we may, but not always, make a small commission.
