I know they either keep or give away most of the tools they review, but I just watched the Husqvarna
lawnmower review how does that work out do they just get a review model to have for a short time? I just wonder how it works on some of the bigger more expensive items they review. I know some of the reviews are on tools that they also bought out of pocket. Don’t worry I’m not calling you guys out on any issues with journalistic integrity or anything like that just curious on how it works.
The topic should say what happens :/ not what happend’s I hate when I make mistakes.
Most times the manufacturers let you keep the tools. Some of the more expensive items (Milwaukee thermal imaging camera comes to mind @ $2500) they do want back. I think some retailers loan mowers and stuff for review, but I can’t swear to it.
That really is a great question that I want to also know the answer too haha
I have just been told Bosch want me to review a drill but want it back afterwards.
But I will let you guys know if they follow through on that or if they let me keep it as they did with the last one. 🙂
