How is it that nearly every review is from someone who received the saw for free from Lowe's? More importantly, how do I get my free saw?

This one is easy. Sam, those who received the saws for free are members of Lowe's Loop. It is a group of people who were invited to participate in receiving and "testing out" the product. After testing and writing a review, we get to keep the product as a reward. I am sure that Lowe's is no longer looking for members; I assure you that even if you were able to become a member, you would have to be very vigilant in checking your emails for the announcements that allow one to try and get a product for testing.

Most companies give out free stuff to get reviews... No way to join the secret Lowe's club... my guess is that I spent way too much money at lowes with the my Lowe's card.. the secret elders of the club gave me the secret password and handshake. Now that you know we may have to kill you
