    You do remember that several CR folks were busted for taking bribes?

    To be fair. The Champion wasn't an inverter generator. It was just an open frame basic generator.

    Just got home from Harbor Fright. They didn't have a 3500 in stock. Somehow I was super tempted by the biggest boy 6500 I think. Great price for the watts frankly.

    Ever hear of the 1.5 rule? Decide how by much capacity you need and multiply it times 1.5. Then build to that size.

    Learned that from an old refinery engineer. He knew of which he spoke.

    Tou should have bought the 6500.

    Anything bigger than their 3500 is LOUD. But of you are running a construction site or rock concert, bigger is better.

    Lol then I suggest you not buy them based on your opinion. Fortunately I have my own and some decent HF tools :D

    HF composite ratchet > all other ratchets ever made. That said, if I'm beating the living hell out of it, I'll take a dual 80.

    Working on it ...
    Are Harbor freight tools = MAC, Snap-On or even Craftsman or Porter Cable, DeWalt or Milwaukee ... Nope. But they have their niche. I am not a regular Harbor freight purchaser. But I would be lying if I said didn’t have a harbor freight tool or two in my toolbox.

    I ran a Dewalt drill. It did not run full speed but it would cut a 1by. I thought someone said the plug would run with the ignition switch on, but on my 2019 it would not. You had to actually crank the truck.

    When you started the truck did you hit the button for the 400 watts or did you just try it with the 100w?

    I've used the inverter with a long ass extension cord to blow aero beds and intex air mattresses with A/C pumps while camping. Worked well and blew em in the tent. It then came in handy to power deflate when it was time to go.

    Used the bed outlet with a small hairdryer to remove the stupid dealer stickers they put on the tailgate. So it can at least power that no problem.

    I was once in a situation that I needed to use a sump pump in a ditch for electrical conduit, but was quite far from any outlets.

    The bed outlet worked like a champ.

    That's not funny. Yes, like all the trades people, get a battery powered nail gun, drill, impact driver, skill saw, sawsall, shop vac, the list is endless. The batteries can all be charged by the power bed outlet. Forget the Honda generator & compressor.
