How the candidates are selected
Our editorial team, consisting of professional woodworkers with over five decades of combined practical experience and industry insight, pre-screened all the products released in 2021 into a list of up to 10 candidates in each of the four product categories: Hand Tools, Power Tools, Machinery, and Accessories.
Their selection is based on product specifications, user feedback gleaned from the web, formal reviews undertaken by industry publications and organizations, and in-house shop testing done by our editorial team.
The voting process
- Voters previewed the candidates in each of the four categories.
- Hyperlinks provided more information on each product.
- Voters then made their selection in each category between Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, 2021.
- Voters could choose to be entered in a draw for a DeWALT ATOMIC 20V 2-tool combo kit.
