    bring on the blackouts. I’m sure the outlet will run little things like my WaterPik. I hope it runs the ignition on my tankless heater or my wife is gonna be pissed :D

    Too bad it won’t run a rice cooker :)

    ( I do have a quiet Honda generator ready. )

    Things. Stuff. Lots of bad decisions.
    Mostly Zip-Ties
    It runs an air mattress pump which makes camping more comfortable for the wife which equals more camping adventures for me. I call it a win.

    Most useful thing ever? No.
    Still a useful thing I enjoy from time to time? Yep.
