This seemed simpler than a brute force, hi amperage inverter for AC tools and its a lot cheaper.
I'll be curious to hear whether your inverter can run your cordless tool chargers. Most of these chargers need the "digital pure sine wave" inverter instead of the "modified sine wave" provided by most inverters. The digital sine inverters are more pricey and less expensive, but nicer to your electric motors than the modified inverters. A good writeup can be found at TheInverterStore.com - Welcome!.
