I use this inverter for powering power tools on construction jobs. It has taken the place of an 1800 watt gas generator. Wish I made the switch years ago. This inverter easily powers large 1/2" electric drills and most any other power tools without any problem at all. Setup quick connects, also available on Amazon, to my truck battery. All the other contractors are also amazed. Never again will I use a heavy smelly generator. The unit is lightweight, easily moved to different trucks with quick connects (non included). Its a little bulky and may not readily fit in a standard pickup truck conveniently. However with the quick connects comming through the grill it can just be placed on the ground and used just like you would a portable generator, although it isn't weather proof so it would have to be protected from rain. Possibly behind the front seat. Mine is mounted in between the front seats of a Ford E-250 work van. Fits nicely there and is also used to charge all the cordless tool batteries. If all you needed was to charge cordless batteries a much smaller unit would be fine. But this 3500 will power anything you can plug into it.

I use this in my Ford transit to power a microwave,coffee maker and toaster. This is great. I was even able to run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. The only issue is the installation. I had to run a 0 gauge cable from my battery to the back of the truck.Best Deals for Power Bright PW3500-12 Power Inverter 3500 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110
I am a business owner who builds custom wooden crates and skids on site for the moving and shipping industry. Bought this hoping to eliminate the need for a loud exhaust puffing generator that can be hard to start in winter to power saws drills and air compressors in a small van that does smaller jobs throughout the city of Chicago. Plan was to hook it up to the existing battery in van and run all equipment while the vehicle idles.I must say it generates the power needed to power a 3/4 horsepower air compressor and a 13 amp miter saw individually. When they operate simultaneously it does struggle a little, but still does manage to keep everything running. This isn't that big of a deal for me as normally only one person is working out of this truck at a time. I was worried about it draining the battery of my vehicle but the safety shut off at 10 volts solves that problem. I did, later on, equip my truck with a deep cycling marine battery. Now for most jobs I don't even have to idle van to continually charge the battery.
In my application This is better than an invert-er generator because it is 6x cheaper for same wattage, quieter, and takes up less space in back of truck.
Only thing is that a chart or reference of some type, to guide the purchaser, on the size of cables to use would have been handy. It took me a few hours of research to figure out the safe AWG of cable to use. I used 15 ft of 3/0 cable and it seems to be working fine.
I eventually will equip my other small van with an invert-er also but I may go up in size to a 5000W unit.

I've run air compressors, table saws, and coffee machines off this. Not being a true sine wave I don't think you'd want to run any electronics on it (in fact, even the air compressor 'sounds' different, so the waveform must be significantly different).The included remote is handy. The display shows current battery voltage OR current watt output, but you have to toggle. In this price range you'd imagine they could throw in the extra ten cent LED to show both, but its not a crucial flaw for me.
