Range Rover Blues:
You can get 110volt gennies in this country which might have enough power to run power tools, I owuldn't want to run powertools from a 12 volt battery though, 120watts is 10 amps, 600watts 50amps :-.

Hi
 Are you wanting to run it off the batteries or have the engine running to power them?
I only ask as a few years ago I saw a disco comercial that had an arc welder and 110v power fitted perminant that was designed to be used with the engine running.
Ask at your local CEF (city electrical factors) or any of the other electrical whole salers they may be able to find one.

110v transformers for tools are 55v to earth which means, and sorry if i am telling you what you already know, the transfer sends 55v down the live and neutral giving 110v the down to earth. This may casue a bit of an issue with the invertor but not looked to see if tools can run on standard 110v transformer.
 You can get 240v invertors up to 5000w but they arent cheap.
How do they do it on the utilitity vehicles cause when you look they have 16a, 32a 110v and a compressed airline out.

Just a thought could you have an alternator rewound to create 110v and put a breaker in to protect the vehicle and occupants.That is just a question as rally dont know much about alternators.

Cheers

Was thinking small grinder, drill etc nothing too heavy but it seems very complicated and very expensive  :(

My mate has a Transit for HGV breakdowns which has 110, 240v and air and it runs off PTO system
It was a Murphy construction van

get an air compressor and then get some air tools, you can then get air bag jacks and tools etc and run every thing off one unit with hardly any work or cost compaired to 110v set up
