  2. Wall to Battery Adapter - Cordless Tool Hybrid

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Here is my take on the situation:

    The tools you have been testing with your adapter are relatively low draw tools. I can work with my driver all day with one battery. 

    I would love an adapter for my dewalt table saw. It eats batteries.

    The problem is, the size transformer (and related electronics) to run a high draw tool (like the table saw) would be big. Too big to fit into a battery case. I don't know the specs, but the table saw probably draws 35-50 Amps on startup (on 60 Volts) Thats an arc welder sized transformer. 

     

    A 30 or 40 Lb "adapter" is no longer convenient. 

     

    Also, The newer cordless tools are drawing more power than a standard household outlet will supply (albeit for a short time). Remember, an outlet will supply 1800w continuously. The battery powered tool can draw more, because there is no breaker to trip. (grossly oversimplified).

    What about runtimes and recharging? Is it a nuisance or just plan ahead and you're good to go? 

     

    Definitely has the noise advantage. 

    I always keep it fully charged, and have another complete set of batteries. 

    I have never run it long enough to run it dry, let alone have to use the 2nd set of batteries. 

    The reason I bought it was because it takes longer to find electric, and roll out the cord than to do the damn job.

    I have used it for a few things. First off, I am almost totally cordless. So I have very little 120v tools. Here is what I've used it for so far:

    1. Powers a small welded to repair railings. 

    2. Will run my boiler at my house when power is out. 

    3. Ran my jackhammer to break up 2 sections of sidewalk

    4. Ran the small electric mixer to replace above sections of sidewalk

    5. Ran my HVLP sprayer to spray some steel doors

    6. Powered a commercial sign (big lit sign by the street) while I was working on it. (The timer/switch was inside a closet, in an office, about 700 yds away. (beat the hell out of walking back and forth a dozen times)

    7. Runs a kuerig in my van.

    I think you are confused.. Its a forced air heater. (most people around my AO call it a salamander). I has to have propane and a power source to work. The power source can be a battery or 120v cord.

    Cordless table saw for sure, I'd settle for an 7 1/4.

     

    M18 trim router (fuel?), for hinges and such.

     

    The dewalt inverter/generator thing looks interesting, but I don't know.

     

    Fix/update/re-design the existing nailers

     

    a cordless 23g pinner

     

    a cordless framer

    I have used my 5.0 on my SDS max and noticed no difference.

    I use the 9.0 on all my tools.

     

    I haven't used a 4.0 on the SDS max yet, and I don't own anything smaller.
