Compressor - Sears, Lowes or Home Depot.

Small Generator - Honda 2000i, I like mine, it weights about 34 lbs
and is easy to carry around. There is also a smaller honda that
should be fine for running a battery charger. And Honda's are
quiet.

Get the biggest compressor you can afford and I agree on the Honda but they are spendy for their size. You can find cheaper but probably not quieter.

Philip is correct about the Honda 2000i. I have two that I hook-up in conjunction. Extremely quiet. I've had mine for two racing seasons with no problems whatsoever.

X4 on the Honda generator! Worth extra money is my two cents.

I purchased my Honda EU2000i online from Northern Tool Co
http://honda.northerntool.com/category/generators.
Or call them toll-free @ 800-221-0516
Best prices on Honda generators, and the shipping was free!

I bought a Devilbiss, 5hp, 60 gal compressor from Lowes about 17-18 years ago for the garage. Still works fine to this day. I have the Honda 3000i generator and love it. It is a 2 person generator to move around. The 2000i is the light weight version.

My 2 cents.

Generator - Honda, if you want to save a few bucks look at the Northstar with a Honda engine.

Air compressor - Sears 30 gallon, 120 volt. If you have 220 and 3-phase wiring go that route. Pop for a 2-stage compressor if funds allow.

I'll echo this. Check Craigs List. I stumbled across a guy in Cinncinati, Ohio that handled Campbell Hausfeld seconds, reconditioned air compressors. I got a 5hp, twin stage 80 gallon compressor for $575.00. Air is no longer a problem around the shop.

No matter what, stay away from oil less air compressors!!! They will drive you and everyone else around you nuts! Loud and irritating. Get the biggest air compressor you can afford.
