This is distributed human mapping at it's finest.
Tool stands are too small to show up on an air photo: armchair mappers need
not apply.
The correctly mapped nodes are largely the result of map notes.

A typical map note says that a tool stand is probably nearby based on a
press release: could a boots-on-the-pedals cycle over and check it out?
Hundreds have.  It's worked great in the USA (not so much in the UK).

PLEASE delete stations that are really not there.  I know it's hard.  Turn
'em into a map note perhaps, but definitely don't leave them as broken
glass in OSM.
