anyone recommend a good power invertor?

just looking for something to power a corded power drill from a truck to
use as a sort of a power jack on the scissors jack.


Down & dirty is to use an old computer UPS. Rip out the batteries &
extend the wires that went to the batteries to big clips (from an old
batt charger if you have) & you are good to go.

It still needs to be able to supply the needed power - which means
bigger than 1KVA - and there are VERY few 1kva or larger UPS units
that run on 12 volts. Most are 36 or 48 volts.
