Generac generator

I was refering to their house brands; Chicago Electric etc. For the money, they are OK for the average home owner etc. If I was a pro, I would not waste my money on their Chinese-made tools. The do not last. I've had some tools from them that have done lots of work/projeccts around my house (a cheap tile saw has done tons of cutting for $70) but I've had othe HF tools that have crapped out on me after only a limited time.

Like I said; you get what you pay for and finding anything "Made in the U.S.A." is getting nearly impossible. When it comes to tools I know I'll use a lot and for a long time, I buy quality name brands. JMO. They cost more, but last and are accurate.

I hate loud generators. The honda is great and there is no question about that. The 4000 kw Onan gen in my RV is really quiet too. My brother's 5000 kw generac from costco is the loudest thing on earth. But it was really cheap and really good for the $.
