It's not nearly as quiet or as smooth and it's not even in the same league quality wise as the more expensive 7000 watt inverter generator they make that I also have for around $4000.00!!

Well Dan you're kind of clouding the picture here a tad.

Yes a Honda generator is going to cost more because it's a Honda, however you're also adding the "inverter" option which adds significant cost to a comparable unit. Then again that Honda generator will put out rock solid clean stable power as opposed to a non-inverter of any make or model.

Got to be careful with these inexpensive generators, sure they will put out power but usually pretty dirty and typically unstable especially with load oscillation. Not good for sensitive electronics.

Generators aside, my point was Honda makes both cheap, inexpensive motors and high quality, expensive motors and has no problem putting their name on either.

And just when I thought I had seen it all... I recently purchased a "Snap On" tool that was made in China!! No kidding!...

Could you take a photo of the tool showing the Snap On name and also the China stamp.

Thank you

Here you go. Look under details for where it's assembled and made.

Thank you
I always thought Snap-on was made in the USA...I guess not.
I never buy them anyway because of the price.

I thought the same but apparently in recent years a lot of their tools are being made overseas like China and Spain. All you have to do is go to their website and check out country of origin under each tool.

I guess nothing is sacred anymore...
