The 3500w inverter is the thinking man's Honda inverter genny.

A little bit of an aside but is there a resource that shows the historical power outages for a zip code or region? I would really like to know the historical events that have occurred in my AO to help justify this purchase beyond a "I think we had 2 outages last year."
That would need to be a detailed map. For example, a former coworker lives on the other side of town from me, maybe 5 miles away. He loses power all the time. I can literally count our power outages on one, maybe two hands. If I only count those that resulted in power being out for more than an hour, I wouldn't even need an entire hand. We've never lost power long enough to justify pulling out a generator. So, power outages for my town would be one number, but those directly affecting my home would be much lower. We've been in this house for 17 years.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. The more I dig into them, the less I can talk myself into spending the extra on the Honda at this point.
Same. When Irma came through here, we didn't lose power for more than a few hours. My coworker (who bought a Predator 3500 this year) lost power for several days. He's less than a mile from me and in the same zip code.

I once split a brand new HF impact socket the first time I tried to use it on a hand ratchet, with my left arm at an awkward angle.
My buddy used to buy their air impacts because they were only $30. When he bought the third one, he admitted he should have just bought an IR.
I have a few HF tools, but I leave a lot there, too.
I'm a big fan of the nitrile gloves. Keep them around in all three thicknesses.
If I know I'm going to modify/destroy a tool for a one-time use, I'll often buy it there.

Not another dime.
Over the years, I've discovered that most Harbor Freight tools are ok for occasional use, but are far from professional grade. Items I've had good luck with include heavy duty jackstands, a floor lift and a couple of work benches.

Harbor Freight has really stepped up their game, if you think they are still the HF of a few years ago, you should look again.

In my experience, they have always been hit or miss. I could happily miss the smell of the store (reminds me of that puke Xcelite screwdriver smell), and have missed some good bargains that have been pulled over the years (Makita SCMS clone, Rapidair clone air system). But have also found bargains (Goodyear air hose, basic impact sockets, dead blow hammers, oscillating tool). Some things you could tell were bad. I had a coworker who bought a wrench set there, that I could see the metal work was visibly bad, the 7mm wrench broke with the first turn and he was shocked. Years ago, they had some impact sockets that were Chrome molybdenum, rather then Chrome Vanadium; I still hope to find those in store again, some day.
Aluminum floor jack and motorcycle jack in my garage for 5 years of oil changes, tire rotations, and misc maintenance. Zero issues.
