    Questions about Dremel use/charging

    I searched and didn't see anything but maybe I'm asking the wrong questions. I'm going to be living/working from my vehicle and I use Dremels extensively. I'm trying to figure out if I need to buy cordless Dremels and if so will I need a pure sine wave inverter to charge the 12v Lithium-Ion...

    Hi, I'm a Newcomer

    My wife and I are knife makers/kydex benders as well as Tai Chi teachers. We lived in a mini van (Dodge Caravan) for about 5 years in the early 2000's and we're going to be buying a van and doing it again in the next few months. We're currently in FL but will be traveling to gun/knife shows...
