But you can't run a jobsite microwave or radio on gas.

[Anonymous No.2775543]

>>2775538
Also, you can’t run a jobsite radio, coffee maker or microwave oven on 120 V mains

Strange how people complain that makita doesn’t make big battery packs, but it’s bigger than the biggest dewalt.

You can buy a 5-8 KW generator for around $1000-1200, so unless that battery will run 110V AC 30A tools and appliances the generator is still the more practical option for almost all scenarios, even if you spend the other $650 for an extension cord.

does this work?

Kek, yes. Free energy!

Or like 30% effieciency lost every cycle? Maybe more?

Nah, generators have cords which require dragging.
Riddle me this, spergboi:

I can easily afford any power tool I want so I have pneumatics and industrial air compressors to drive them, corded tools, cordless tools, inverters (so my trucks function as gensets) and a generator.

Why do I and other professionals who also have home shops prefer cordless tools for mobile work if everything tethered is supposedly better?

Nothing not cordless is seriously mobile so only cordless can follow me into profitable LS harvesting at salvage yards. One engine buys a tool which thereafter I use for many years on many engines. Since I didn't fail at life the battery cost (they last many years, I mark mine with year of purchase) is trivial even in quantity.

What really bothers you about batteries? Did you grow up poor and mindbroken? That's quite common among luddites. It wrecks them for life and they remain terrified of productive spending as if starving your way to prosperity worked. White poors grow up scared and compulsively cheap (not to be confused with efficient). Dark poors grow up PTSDed and ragey (which made teaching them in vo-tech interesting...)

Based on your illogical and demented comments, clearly you have a desperate need to publicly assert some kind of superiority/ dominance and you've convinced yourself that owning and simping for battery powered tools is a good way to do it...along with making stupid assumptions that people who laugh at batteryfags batteryfagging don't own any battery powered tools and/or think "everything tethered is better".

Pretty much the same reason every other toolfag spends way too much time in these threads, or starting them to begin with...you are an insecure little man who uses your professed need for allegedly superior tools as a form of penis extension.

Even your choice to refer to power cords as "tethers" is quite telling, you have a deep seated psychological NEED to disparage perfectly capable equipment and people who might use it, just to set yourself apart and claim to be a better person for it.

MANY such cases both here and on jobsites.

Oh, you’re a scavenger.
Well, I can see how battery operated tools would work for you. However, I don’t need to steal catalytic converters in the dead of night, so I have a lot of corded tools I use at my workbench and at the jobsite. But I can see how corded tools would pose a problem in your situation with no fixed address.

That's running a generator on gas, then plugging an electric appliance into it.

If you had a generator you wouldn't need a gas powered drill.
