Where to post a thread about tools?

I am looking for a new compact air compressor to replace my 1988 vintage Craftsman...but am darned if I know where to ask for opinions. Does TBN have any forums dedicated to tools alone?

Have a look at where similar threads (at the bottom of this page) have been posted in the past.

I have 3 compressors.
1) For my garage I have a Husky 80 gallon shop compressor, 4HP 2 stage, 12.2 SCFM @ 175 PSI max bought from Home Depot on sale.

2) Husky portable 8 gallon 1.5 HP 4.0 SCFM @ 125 PSI max

3) Craftsman oil free 6 HP 33 gallon, 6.4 SCFM @ 90 PSI (135 PSI max)

2&3 are designed for job site use with air tools such as nailers. All work well for me.

Post it anywhere. Somebody will come along and move it before you know it!

Perhaps it will be moved should I post it anywhere, but maybe TBN might consider creating a new forum dedicated to just tools? George2615 in post#4 outlined my current needs with his #2 description...a portable 8 gallon 1.5 hp SCFM@125 psi max. I am amazed at how long my Craftsman lasted, would post a pic if I could...was used mainly for tire inflation up to 70 psi on numerous vehicles and trailers and for air cleaning thousand of parts and filters. I would buy another one like it if I could. Ebay currently has one for sale the same model but it does not work and the seller wants $60 plus $20 shipping for it...I paid $59 for mine new with tax.
