Posted a review on the r0125 a few days ago.  How long does it normally take for them to register?

I did three reviews on your site right when this came out, but none of them are visible. 

I did one on the Domino, one on the CXS and I think one on the T15 drill.

Hey All,

  Thanks to everyone for taking the time to write some excellent reviews on my website. When I'm looking to make a purchase, whether online or in a store, I usually take a look at the reviews to offer me some guidance from those with hands on experience. So I am a big fan of online product reviews and use it as one more tool (no pun intended) in saying yay or nay to a purchase. My only regret is that I couldn't offer prizes to each and every reviewer.

The 2 winners of the  $250.00 gift certificates are and congratulations go to:

Jeffrey R in New Hope PA and  Mark B in Huntington New York

Winners were chosen at random and here's how we determined the 2 winners.

- The number range of reviews was 758 to 823. Each review/customer was assigned a number.

- We used a website called Random.org.  It generates random numbers based on the range selected.  We entered the number range and told it to generate 2 numbers.  We hit submit submit and these are the 2 (numbers/customers) that came up.

Next month's review prizes? 2 Centrotec Installer Setshttp://www.bobmarinosbesttools.com/centrotec-installer-set/p/201312/

Good luck and thanks again.

Nice.  First time I've ever won anything.  Thanks Bob!.  I actually thought I was boxed out as my reviews hadn't posted yet.  Now for the important part; how do I collect?

Eric,

I've been tossing this contest idea around for a while and I think there are  a few scenarios - award prizes at random or award prizes for the "best" reviews. The first is easy, but someone can win with simply writing "Nice tool." Nothing wrong with that, but I obviously think the best reviews are the ones with more detail and perhaps they should be recognized as such. Rewarding the "best" reviews is very subjective. Perhaps a mix of the 2, with smaller, but a greater number of prizes awarded each month. Just some reflections on my part.
