HF Generator...
In Response To: Harbor freight ?? ()

Rodd,

I have one of those generators. We got it, took it to the boat and have tried to use it. It works OK for power tools and lights type stuff, but I have not been able to get it to put out enough to do a decent charge on my battery bank. Loads up quick and drops the current, even when I tell my charger to drop back to under 8 Amps.

I have a number of tools I got there and they are not “the best”. But as was said, they have there place. I got a set of wood Tapered Drill Bit and Countersink Set. Dropped them in my tool box to take a spare. Have now used them a few times along the way. I count the tools I get from there as disposable.

Got the LOW COST sander. Then found out that it will NOT take standard size paper, so instead of getting 2 pads per sheet, I can only get 1 and a bit under half of the sheet is no good to me.

BUT, I sure do like wandering the isles and looking!

Greg
