You do! When it comes to making the final decision to buy or pass on a specific power tool, it’s vital to get the opinion of an experienced user. Most of us posses some degree of experience that other users might benefit from.
The vast majority of us, keep to ourselves when we buy or use a sophisticated piece of equipment, whether it’s on a professional contractor’s job site or in our neighbor’s garage. We rarely hesitate, however, when a co-worker or a buddy asks what we think of a power tool we own or have used while working on a project. Often, the pros and cons flow like water when we’re asked directly. But most of us don’t volunteer those opinions without being questioned.
Perhaps it’s not our business to rattle off consumer reviews about our work experience. After all, there is always someone on the site who knows more and has more experience. So why bother with my opinion?
It’s because your opinion really does count. No matter what your experience is, it is important to share your thoughts with those who know nothing. These might be buyers who are researching different brands and they desire real user reviews before they pull the trigger on their purchase. What you may not realize is that your experience will not only assist others in their buying process but can also influence tool makers in refining their products.
Every Tool Maker Wants Your Opinion
Every major tool manufacturer uses user experience to help them create higher quality products. The big R & D (reasearch & development) divisions have seasoned veterans helping to design safer and more powerful power tools. Without user feedback we would still be in the dark ages.

User reviews are a valuable part of new tool development. Top management knows how important the positive user experience really is. Not only do they bring in their own pros to gain feedback, they value the feedback from unsolicted owners and operators.
So voice your opinion! Tell your buddy what you like and what you don’t like about the equipment you use. They’ll benefit from your real life opinion, if you’re willing to share it.
