Service-Mate P700 made by Translectric Inc.  (8 Amps at the outlet)
1-573-243-5186 they won't sell direct, but they will tell you where to buy.
This device is designed to jump start 12-12 volts 12-24 volts and will
provide 85 Vdc to an outlet. (Yes DC) Any brush motor including drills,
saws, vacuum cleaner, and your leaf blower will run perfectly on 85 Vdc. You
can also jump start a road grader or bulldozer with your car, from this
thing. I have owned one for many years, I built a dock on my lake with it.
Run 500 Watt quartz hologen lights at night and cut up the wood with a
circular saw and drilled the holes during the day. Its a portable box with
cables that connect to the battery in your car. Keep your car running if you
plan to use it for a long period of time but for short term uses, it will
run off of the battery.
