Hi folks,

I'm looking for some advice on generators. I need to run my tools off of a generator. I'm probably not going to be running more than one tool at a time and my most powerful tool is 3 1/2 hp (approx. 2600 Watts). I have no idea what kind of surge is created when I start my tools. I guess my real concern is that I want to find the right generator for my tools so that I don't run the risk of my tools heating up and depreciating their life time.
I noticed that the price doubles when were talking about a Honda engine compared to lets a say Tecumseh in a generator of the same power rating . Is there really such an appreciable difference besides the name?
Many thanks,
Ian
