Review Guidelines

ToolSelect.com truly prides itself on creating an atmosphere where people can come to find truly honest and unbiased reviews from people just like them, to help them before they make that next tool purchase. Points are awarded to users for contributing their insights on tools they've used and these points can be redeemed for free merchandise in the ToolSelect point store (this will not be the only way users can earn points either, new features will reveal new opportunities for points in the near future).

Whenever there is the opportunity for rewards there is also the risk of abuse. So in an effort to keep people honest with real life insights, which will result in a reliable community all members can count on, ToolSelect has set some minor guidelines for reviews. ToolSelect also reserves the right to deny point store redemptions, deduct points, and/or turn off accounts where the abuse of reviews seems to be prevalent.

Include:

  • Descriptive and constructive comments that will help others learn more about the product. Your comments should be specific to the product reviewed.
  • Comparisons of the product with similar products or to previous versions
  • Examples of how the product did or did not meet your expectations
  • Opinions only for products with which you have first-hand experience

Exclude:

  • Profanity, obscenities, or spiteful comments
  • Comments about the condition of a used product
  • Comments about other reviews, reviewers, or information found on the product page
  • Comments about a specific seller. You should provide feedback to the seller separately for their review.
  • HTML tags or any URLs, addresses or phone numbers
