Re: Shop air compressor & PORTABLE generator
Compressor - Sears, Lowes or Home Depot.
Small Generator - Honda 2000i, I like mine, it weights about 34 lbs and is easy to carry around. There is also a smaller honda that should be fine for running a battery charger. And Honda's are quiet.

Re: Shop air compressor & PORTABLE generator
Get the biggest compressor you can afford and I agree on the Honda but they are spendy for their size. You can find cheaper but probably not quieter.

Re: Shop air compressor & PORTABLE generator
Philip is correct about the Honda 2000i. I have two that I hook-up in conjunction. Extremely quiet. I've had mine for two racing seasons with no problems whatsoever.

X4 on the Honda generator! Worth extra money is my two cents.

Re: Shop air compressor & PORTABLE generator
I bought a Devilbiss, 5hp, 60 gal compressor from Lowes about 17-18 years ago for the garage. Still works fine to this day. I have the Honda 3000i generator and love it. It is a 2 person generator to move around. The 2000i is the light weight version.
My 2 cents. |

Re: Shop air compressor & PORTABLE generator
Generator - Honda, if you want to save a few bucks look at the Northstar with a Honda engine.
Air compressor - Sears 30 gallon, 120 volt. If you have 220 and 3-phase wiring go that route. Pop for a 2-stage compressor if funds allow. |
