    Would that actually work? Would the 600watts be too much for an inverter from the cigarette lighter? Getting one for sure it it'll work.

    600watts on 12volts takes 50amps. I have 15amps fuse on me car cigarette lighter, so it wont work.
    Can anyone comment on Drapers quality as I don't know the brand??

    Have a heat gun from them. Used numerous times without issue and quite a solid build. You'd probably get a bosch grinder in woodies for the same price as this BTW

    Draper Tools are usually top quality.

    Draper used to produce some terrible tat but I have a shed full of the stuff now, they're rock solid. A lot of mechanics use their Expert stuff these days too.

    FWIW most Aldis have 125mm grinders still in stock for ~€24 (if I remember correctly).

    Pretty much. They all have a two year on the spot replacement warranty though so some of their stuff is worth the gamble if you're a very infrequent user.
