There are plenty of discussions revolving in the general tool discussion forum as Garage Journal is known for; plenty of feedback and advice, but also noticed many overlapping threads on tools. Perhaps, we can make a Wiki disclosing pros and cons of tools ranging in all categories (price-point and quality and from general use to professional / contractor) to make the forum less biased. Yes, not all tools are created equal, but some low-priced tools are quite decent for the price and meets all the average DIY'er's needs.

Can this suggestion be fulfilled? I'm sure we all can contribute. A Wiki can serve as a Buyer's Guide.

A wiki on tools? Sounds like herding cats to me. The subject is too subjective IMO.

It seems to me the most successful Wikis are centered around subjects where the contributors are broadly driven by the objective of better defining the subject under discussion like - say for instance - 'Cosmic Activity', where the idea is to correlate data that will lead to a better understanding of the topic.

I can't see that it would work for tools because the contributors objectives are too diverse and yet - each in their own way - valid. So the contributor input, especially the editing, would be a constant battle and the whole thing would inevitably descend into chaos.
