Hello everyone,
This is only my second or third post here so still new.I read the forums every day and I am learning.I live in an apartment and don't have access to electric so my question is can I get away with using a power inverter? I have the Porter Cable 7424 package from Autopia. This is the package that I have.
Also on the Autopia site on how to use a Porter Cable 7424 this is was was listed there I have coped and pasted here for you to read.
BASIC FEATURES & OPERATION
The Porter Cable 7424 has a powerful motor for its size, yet it pulls a scant 3.7 amps at 110 volts. If you don’t have a garage, you can run the Porter Cable 7424 off of your car battery using a 750+ watt power inverter. The tool uses a standard 5/16-24 spindle, so a lot of different attachments will fit.
So is this safe to do? Will it drain my battery very quickly? or will I be able to use it for a long time off the battery? If any one here has used a power inverter can you please tell me if all will be OK.
I found a 750+watt inverter at Lowe's yesterday and wanted to wait and buy it after I get answers.
Thank you for all your time and this is a great forum for learning.
