I haven't done these things, but here are some ideas, and not all of
them original:

drink blender (okay, this exists already)
Kitchen mixer (your wife will almost like it if you take her camping!)
paint and slurry mixer (for the 5 gallon cans!)
oversized portable drill (this one exists already, too)
drill for concrete and steel (where you don't have electricity, see?)

I could go on, but to get ideas all you have to do is stroll into your
garage/shop, kitchen (depends...are you single? ) and wonder what you
have ever needed to be cordless?
