EARTHQUAKE IG800W INVERTER GENERATOR Earthquake has re-designed its IG800W 800-watt inverter generator. The new design features up- front controls for easier operation. With camping and boating season finally here, the IG800W makes charging the boat battery or operating camping tools a breeze for 14 hours on a single tank of gas. The IG800W also weighs up to 25-percent less than competitor generators, so carrying it up and down the steps to the boat is easier than managing the cooler. The housing on the IG800W keeps noise levels at a minimum, allowing the ability to enjoy other sounds, like nature and friends and family. Fuel efficient, quiet and easy to operate with up-front controls makes this inverter generator a "best buy" for the summer. Earthquake, a division of Ardisam, Inc.

BRIGGS & STRATTON POWERS- MART SERIES P3000 INVERTER GENERATOR Briggs & Stratton has unveiled the next generation of quiet, smart, consistent and af- fordable inverter generators: the PowerSmart Series P3000.

The P3000 delivers enough consistent, quiet power to run a 13,500-BTU RV air-conditioning unit, which most 2-kW inverters can't achieve. It is the first inverter in its class that offers a USB charging outlet and StatStation LED wattage monitor/maintenance reminder. The P3000 features computer-controlled technol- ogy that continuously and automatically adjusts engine speed to reduce fuel consumption and run PRODUCT ROUNDUP www.outdoorpowerequipment.com OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT AUGUST 2015 29 EQUIPMENT FOCUS PRODUCT ROUNDUP PRODUCTS STOP & GO TIRE PLUGGER #1085 Ideally all tubeless tires should be repaired from the inside/out. But in an emergency situation, that's not always possible. That's when the Stop & Go Tire Plugger can do what no other tire re- pair kit can. It allows for an on-the-spot, on-the- wheel repair to virtually any tubeless tire. And it seals the puncture on the inside. The Plugger is a spring-loaded gun that "drives" the plug into the hole (see illustration above). The shaft of the plug expands under pressure to fill the puncture. The mushroom head of the plug seats on the in- ner wall, allowing no air to escape. This ensures maximum reliability from its revolutionary design. This kit comes in a durable, hard-sided case that will last for many years. And it's easily stored, so you're always prepared. The kit contains the plug gun; nozzle; probe tool; T-handle reamer/ rasp tool; retractable blade; 25 rubber mush- room plugs, which measure 5/16-inch diameter by 3/4-inch long; and detailed instructions. The suggested selling price on the retail level is $49.95, and an extra bag of plugs is $7.50 each. For more information, visit Stop & Go's recently launched website at www.stopngoonline.net.
