We run the heat guns and $40 HF drill press, and 1x30" sander on a giant 35 pound 1200w inverter, and 2 T-105s. It makes you learn to do it fast, not leave it run looking for the next piece, and don't expect to use it for more than a couple (as in 3 or 4) minutes, or you will go without for a day or 2 (80w PV, no back-up).
More like a no choice but the..., so we will have to use it.
The better or normal inverters will go to low battery shutdown even with the 2 T-105s. Then reset then shutdown... but never turn what should turn. The 1200w monster decided to leave out those pesky low voltage and over power shutdowns.
Other things (well pump, lathe, another drill press, 'dremmel', etc) use air, but the tank is 250 yards away (1.5" line), so they tend to be underpowered for some things.
