I've registered tools from DTO no problem.
I also already have two 4AH batteries that meet all of my power tool needs, so an extra 2AH battery isn't really worth much. It's not large enough to add any meaningful capacity. I guess it would make my most-used tools lighter; however, I don't find any of my tools to be very taxing to begin with.
I also have the 18V fan, so for power outages I'd probably save the battery power for that over this converter.
Seriously, the more I think about it the less I can justify this as even a moderate want. Besides, I told myself I'd stop spending money on things I don't even want that badly.
Funny story (not really): just got my sleep study results back and I have severe sleep apnea.
It looks like this thing should be able to power the CPAP machine they'll likely send me, the ResMed Airsense 10 or 11, but I'd burn through my batteries quickly and having to change them out throughout the night wouldn't be ideal. It would make more sense to buy a larger battery, but then there's THAT cost.
There's also the fact that I haven't researched larger DC-DC backup options, which would be way more efficient.
I'll have to think about it. I'm sure it'll be on sale again or hopefully offered at a different sale price with a larger battery.
i can't think of a single use case for this where a battery "tool" wouldn't already be a better option (fans, lights, ect...) it's only 175W, 120VAC/~1.5A is pretty damn limiting already. even if i do find a use case, i'm sure the efficiency of this thing is garbage... but i can't find it stated anywhere.
Second I just went without power for 5 days from hurricane Ian.
Having something like this be it to charge a phone, run a fan, power a light would have been really nice.
Especially a one off area like a bathroom where I didnt want to run a 100ft extension cable across the house, or carry a flashlight with me just to pee.
I have some good USB power banks, but once its drained gotta recharge them. Having several Ridgid batteries on hand means basically each and every one of them is now a power bank, but with the flexibility to run an AC device if needed.

I'm looking for hurricane supplies and my shed is also hot so the fan would be nice.
"The output of this device is not sinusoidal.
It has a total harmonic distortion of 40 percent and maximum single harmonic of 30 percent."

100% agreed, but even I can't justify this for charging. While traveling I'd much rather pack a couple of Anker battery packs. For power outages the generator will be running frequently enough to keep everything charged.
Also, the fan is excellent and it can also take input from any 110 outlet via an extension cord.
For me, this inverter could only have been an impulse buy, and that has luckily passed.

What are you trying to say? Isn't that normal for a square-wave inverter???
Better off to buy power inverter with pure sine wave if you hooked up with computer's equipment. It gives you cleaner power .
No. Small devices only.
