Default Proposal for auto tool forum

Every now and then I have a question about a tool (like what is a good torque wrench), or desire to let others in on some tool I've found particularly useful when working on the Corvette (like the set of plastic prybars that Eastwood sells). I'm never quite sure where to post, as sometimes the information seems to neither quite fit in General or Tech/Performance, not to mention that the info ends up only be available to and for the C4 Community. It often seems that tool topics are well attended threads (again, the torque wrench, jacks, ramps, etc.).

So I'm wondering if there is any shared interest for a CF wide forum devoted to reviews, questions, and usage tips about the tools we use on our Corvettes.

C5/C6 owners don't have tools. C1-2-3 owners have tools but also have arthritis. So I'd just post it in C4 tech.

Often the tools are specific to a certain task anyways.

And even if they're not, we have too many damn forums already. If there's a tool forum, even less people will read your posts than if you posted in C4/tech. So I see your point, but it's been brought up before and making a new forum for it would be counterproductive.
