[TheForge] Air Compressors

[James Binnion]

I was looking at the ones on the harbor freight site and the logos  
match up with the  ones in the Taiwanese site. I agree that it really  
doesn't matter where they are made if they work well, but I have had  
less than stellar experiences with many Taiwanese tools.
