Send a tool for review.
Juan's Tools keeps kit lists for framers, trim carpenters, drywall hands, electricians, plumbers and remodelers. If you make a tool one of them would carry, here's how to get it to us and what happens after.
Send the detailsReview unit
[Brand] sent us this [tool] at no charge. We kept it after the review. [Brand] did not see this write-up before it ran.
How to send one
Ask before you ship. A unit that arrives unannounced may sit in a box until someone works out what it is.
Tell us about it
Use the form below, or email hello@juans.tools: the tool, the trade it's built for, and whether it's a loan, a unit to keep, or a discount.
Wait for our answer
We read every request and answer by email. If the tool fits a kit we cover, the answer says where to send it. If it doesn't, we say so.
It goes into a kit
The tool joins the list for its trade, next to the tool it would replace. Nothing gets called a review until it has been used.
How we write it up
A review on this site says what was done with the tool. Anything less is a buying note, and it's labeled that way.
- Against the kit it would join. What it replaces, what it weighs, and where it rides: belt, bag or tailgate.
- Used before it's reviewed. The write-up says what the tool was used on and for how long. If we only handled it, the page says that, and it's a buying note, not a review.
- No stars or scores. A plain verdict: who should carry it and who shouldn't.
- You don't approve the copy. The brand doesn't see a write-up before it runs. Send a correction of fact and we'll fix it.
- The review-unit line. Any tool we got free, on loan or at a discount says so at the top of its write-up. That's the material-connection disclosure the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) call for.
Send the details
Tell us what the tool is and who it's for. Sending this doesn't commit you to ship anything or us to cover it.
Requests are read by the people who write Juan's Tools at Our Landmen LLC, which publishes the site.
