Portable generator

[Albert77]

Hi guys,any idea where i can get a portable generator? Like to try out using Porter cable 7424 but no power source Hope u guys can help.Thanx.

Hey, I am also interested. Heard that it is possible to buy an inverted to connect to the cigarette lighter socket. Anybody knows where to get this? Guess the best is still to get a external portable generator if it is affordable.

invertor can be bought at sim lim tower but make sure you get the right rating to generate enough power for the porter cable..else you will keep burning the fuses

External PG is about $200 plus..some runs on petrol..another type which I am across is running on rechargeble Batt..It can be purchase at D.I.Y shops...

[Danapj]

Bro, thanks for your info. Any specific area where to source? You mean places like Homefix have?

[Maddriver]

Yes homefix should have it..Is a rechargeable batt generator.. some ppl uses it for camping..5 to 6hrs usage should be no problem..do a check first on your PC hp..

[Danapj]

K thanks a lot.

OT a bit. By the way, thinking of getting the leather shampoo and conditioner from you. How's the review? Have you move to Clementi yet?

[Maddriver]

Yes..I have shift to clementi.. take a look at the conditioner and shampoo first..so far feedback from customers is quite good.. the conditioner has a leather smell.. no frangrance added

I use a 300W inverter with 500W PEAK handling for my black and decker polisher.

 

Power wise, it's still operating 50% lower compared to direct AC.

 

If you want to try inverter, suggest getting min 500W specs.

[Danapj]

Oh, where did you get your inverter? Mind letting me know the price and location to buy? Thanks

[Frankloh]

Bought mine 300W from SimLimSq 3 years ago at $70++

Hi Bro, is it powerful enuff to power up the Porter cable?

[Maddriver]

The PC will at least need 300W..to be safe 400W..check the range available at homefix..the latest I heard...KM also sell generators and pumps..did you got yrself a PC?..

[Albert77]

Not yet leh..plan to get it once i get hold of the generator Bro,u gt any lobang for the PC. I saw Detailogy selling at $350.

[Maddriver]

hmm..i have no lobang for it but if you order from autogeeks..with $350 including freight..u are able to get the free polishing pads...why not wait for the flex machine..i see many good reviews abt it..i am waiting for one but price is abit on the high side..

[Imuya]

Yes, KM Honda sells portable generators and pumps at their parts & accessories upstairs.

Remember to get those with VTEC though.

Just bought the PC from Autogeek with free pads at US199 and free delivery to anywhere in States. Then use Vpost to get it here. looking forward for it to arrive in another week time. Without the free pads, the PC is only retailing at around US 125, so don't think it cost more than $80 to get it deliver here. Seems like a good deal.

MD,

 

mind telling me which home fix branch you saw that rechargeable batt generator? because i called home fix and they mentioned that they do not carry them. also for the rechargeable batt generator, i assume that you will need to charge it via the normal 13A socket and not using petrol before you can use it?
