    This is pretty much what I've used mine for. I also did the 400W anytime mod & added an outlet in the back of the center console. I once was looking in to modding the outlet for constant power even with the ignition off but I don't really have enough use for this to justify that.

    Pardon the perhaps dumb question, but when you are using that saw or drill do you have to have the engine running?

    Charging rechargeable batteries for headlamps, keeping the jump pack and 12v air compressor charged. Charging cellphones and laptops. Charging trailer batteries. I've ran a travel trailer out in the boonies from a 600W inverter on my 4Runner. Trailer batteries went south so I plugged the inverter into the trailer 110V receptacle and ran the furnace all night.
