    Anyone successfully use the 110v plug on a Tacoma to run a 110v Impact wrench?

    I know almost nothing about watts, amps, etc.

    I'd like to get a 110v Impact gun tun to carry in my truck for my trailer tires.

    Thinking in probably need a short heavy duty extension cord so everything would reach.

    Suggestions?

    Comments?

    Your experiences?

    Thanks.

    Link to the impact gun, or how many watts does it use?

    Looks like about 800 watts.

    Not picked the gun yet.

    Suggestions of what would work with the truck.

    Probably a low priced eBay special.

    Don't bother.

    Get a battery powered impact driver. Charge the battery off the truck when needed.

    The truck 12 volt to 110volt inverter is not powerful enough to run a 110 volt a.c. Impact wrench.

    The battery powered impact wrenches are very powerful. Go that route for best results.

    It's not going to work. 400watts is the limit to the tacoma 110v outlet. Any decent impact will use more than that.

    Yep, twice the inverter's rating. Better go the cordless route.

    Thanks.

    That's pretty much what I concluded but wanted to check with the pros.

    Guess I'll stick with the breaker bar and the 4 way lug wrench.

    I'd get a rechargeable one but I'm the kind of guy who would forget to charge the darn battery.

    I appreciate the responses.

    Would the inverter be enough to charge the impacts battery pack?

    Don't know but I'll wait to see what someone who has one has to say.

    Yes, I have a 400W inverter wired up in my truck and I can easily charge a dealt 18V pack, my macbook pulls more power while charging.

    Pretty easily. Most of these things draw around 50 watts. Well within the 400w max.

    EDIT:

    Many manufactures make 12v DC battery chargers, I know Ryobi does for sure.

    A good formula to remember for determining power draw from any give electric power tool or device is P=IE. (P means power watts, I means current and E is voltage) Power equals current multiplied by voltage. You can also use P/I=E or P/E=I. Given the invertor is 400 watts and is capable of 120 volts you're limited to anything at or below 3.33^ amps. Check the sticker on any given electric device and it usually gives you the operating current and voltage. Multiply the two and it will give you the power.
