Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: DeWalt DW130V (1/2" Spade Handle, 9A, Mixer) (3,240W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeWalt DW130V (1/2" Spade Handle, 9A, Mixer) | 1,080W | 3,240W | Tight | ~1.3h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1080W from OEM specs (9.0A × 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 3240W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier — no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Low-speed high-torque motor, 0-550 RPM variable speed, 1/2" keyed chuck. DeWalt lists 710W "Max Watts Out" — that's mechanical output power, not electrical input. Field note: The DW130V is the standard jobsite mud mixer in the US. At 9A it's the highest-draw tool in this set, but the real challenge is sustained load — mixing a 5-gallon bucket of mortar keeps the motor under heavy torque for 3-5 minutes straight. Size your power source for continuous 1080W output, not just peak capacity. Can a portable power station run the DeWalt DW130V mixer drill? Only if your power source can supply at least 1080W continuous and approximately 3240W surge at 120V. The sustained mixing load is the main challenge — this tool runs at near-maximum draw for minutes at a time. | |||||
| Bosch 11255VSR Bulldog Xtreme (SDS-plus, 8A, Rotary Hammer) | 960W | 2,880W | Safe | ~1.5h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 960W from OEM specs (8.0A × 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 2880W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier — no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. SDS-plus rotary hammer, 3-mode operation (hammer+rotation, rotation only, hammer only), 0-1300 RPM, 0-5800 BPM, 2.0 ft-lbs impact energy. Field note: The Bulldog Xtreme is the best-selling SDS-plus rotary hammer in the US. At 960W running it's mid-range in this set, but the 2880W estimated surge requires a power station with adequate startup capacity. The 3-mode operation means you can use it as a light demo tool (hammer only) or a standard drill (rotation only) — same electrical draw regardless of mode. Can a portable power station run the Bosch Bulldog rotary hammer? Only if your power source can supply at least 960W continuous and approximately 2880W surge at 120V. The motor startup surge is the main challenge, not the running watts. | |||||
| Black+Decker DR260C (3/8", 5.5A, Budget) | 660W | 1,980W | Safe | ~2.2h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 660W from OEM nameplate (5.5A × 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 1980W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier — no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Variable-speed motor, 0-2500 RPM, 3/8" keyless chuck. Field note: The DR260C is the most power-station-friendly corded drill in this set. At 660W running and an estimated 1980W surge, it works with most power stations rated 1000W+ with adequate surge capacity. This is the budget option for DIYers who don't want to manage cordless batteries — but for serious jobsite work, the DW130V or Bulldog are the right tools. Can a small power station run the Black+Decker DR260C? Most stations rated 1000W+ continuous with 2000W surge can handle it. At 660W running with an estimated 1980W surge, this is the easiest corded drill to power in this set. | |||||

Generator Insights
With 3600W surge capacity, this unit can handle typical startup loads from refrigerator compressors, well pumps, and similar inductive motors. The 2600W running output supports sustained operation of multiple mid-draw appliances simultaneously. The 2073Wh capacity provides runtime flexibility for extended outages or off-grid scenarios.
This unit uses LFP chemistry, a stable lithium configuration widely adopted in residential backup systems. The manufacturer reports surge handling to 3600W, though independent verification of thermal performance and overcurrent protection was not provided.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running range: 660W (5.5A) to 1080W (9A) depending on motor size and tool type. Estimated surge range: 1980W to 3240W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier — no corded drill manufacturer publishes starting watts). Voltage: 120V AC for all corded models.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~1.3h. Corded drills and hammer drills draw near-maximum rated power under load and drop significantly between operations. Mixer drills are an exception — they run at sustained high load for minutes while mixing mortar or compound. At 1 hour daily use, energy consumption ranges from 660 to 1080 Wh depending on model.
Field Note
In 2025, corded drills are primarily a jobsite tool — mud mixers and rotary hammers where batteries overheat too quickly. Startup surge is the main compatibility concern: a drill that draws 1080W running may need 3240W briefly at startup. Size for surge capacity first, continuous output second.
