Since that time, I think I've found out that the
12 volt DC wires they supply are under sized. One
other friend had similar problem, using under size
DC wires. I wonder if you had under sized DC wires?

Well the rating on the converter was far less than that simple drill
required. I had underestimated what the drill needed.

Motors can be rough on invertes. Big start
up current. What was the rating of the
inverter, and of the drill?

They're in the basement somewhere. 20watts for the inverter and 80
watts for the drill maybe. What does a standard 3/8" drill require?
Mine is 5.3 amps - so 636 watts,

So I'm still underestimating. It seems like it uses far less than a
1000 watt electric heater. Like 1/10 of that. But I accept that
I'm wrong.
