Large amp hour battery and new cordless tools would be what I would lean and the way I went.

Unless I had an additional dual purpose for a generator. But then I lean to a welder with generator. Agin dule purpose and large enough for a house back up.. but that all gets more $$$ uonfront but worth it in the long run.

480 now but watch it the do deals. This one is used every weekend. Zero issues. Plus a 4 year old has started it

A chain fall or come along in the garage, barn or even a tree and you can back right under a welder. they also make some with smaller motors a guy can move around. Used them often when working on bridges putting the new decking down.

If you get all the same brand cordless tools and larger amp hr batteries you cycle the batteries keeping them good and charge them more often. I got a work light and spot light I use more than anything else at the house to cycle the batteries and I always need lights on the farm.

I was thinking about a 2kw Honda small generator for my wife to use when she is face painting a festivals since is small light enough to pack in and quiet.

But I have read so much good stuff on the predators I would be tempted to go in that direction now. Im just afraid It would sit for months at a time and would end up with carb issues when needed the next time. Part of why I like muti use things.
