Thanks for the replys, guys.

I really like the hondaEU2000, but 1000 bucks seems like alot for a 2000 watt generator. And as someone mentioned i'm a bit afraid of getting one that will bog down with the holehawg, although i rarely use the hog, i prefer the right angle drill with the 3ft. extension.

Also the honda has 2 ratings such as this:
120V
2000W max.(16.7A)
1600W rated (13.3A)
Which one do i go by? Note that this is the output description on the honda, i don't fully understand it. I'm thinking one rating is constant and the other is peak.

I always do the layout first, then all the drilling at once, and if i miss a hole here and there i usually go back use a 18v cordless to drill it.

The generacs use Briggs and Stratton engines, they are probably not as good as the hondas, but the cost is far lower.

I think i'll shop around a bit, and keep an eye out in the newspaper ads. I don't mind used stuff as long as it looks taken care of.

thanks,
Joe
