I've used mine to power my trusty WTCP solder station to modify 100
transformers near an airport in another city- in my car- the stuff came
in and went out within hours. It would have been another day to bring it all
back. I often use it to power chargers and other low power devices in the
car, for example to charge NiMH batteries for my digital camera, recharge
my camcorder or run/charge a laptop computer.

I was at a kids' baseball tournament on the weekend and saw a guy with
a minivan who had a bar fridge in the back hooked up to a 350W inverter!
He said it worked great. A compressor is a tough load.
