[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1474237, member: 26138"] Yeah, a cigarette lighter inverter isn't going to run what you need. You can buy a small generator from harbor freight for less than an inverter thats big enough to run a hammer drill, not even including the wiring. Inverting is inefficient, to run a 1000 watt drill, you need 1200 watts or more from the source (100 amps at 12 volts). That requires 4 gauge cables and an inverter that can produce 1000 watts continuously (not surge). Even then I doubt the duty cycle is very long at that rate. [/QUOTE]
