Generators

Keep wishing I had my own, so checked amp draws for some tools. Specifically checked rotary hammer, circular saw and compressor (oh DRAT, forgot to check chop saw). Max was circular saw at about 750 watts running and if it binds, maybe 1500 watts or so. Rotary hammer thru granite does not stick, and my portable Dewalt 2 tank compressor is similar but less than circular saw.

  1. I used a KillaWatt strip to check amp draw. You can find them on Amazon or elsewhere for about $50 depending on features. Sorta interesting, as you can track actual costs of appliances over a period of time.
