mobile power pack

[seaangler]

some years back Black & decker professional did a range of tools that plugged into a battery pack which went in a belt pack( i cant remember the voltage) which worked quite well , the main drawback was it was a lead acid battery so if it was left dormant for a while screwed it up

Makita 24 volt range can be used with a dummy battery which plugs into the main batt which again is on a belt pack (the range of 24v is now discontinued I think)

You could have one of these or similar sat right next to you wherever you were working.

Assuming the risk assessment or specific site conditions prevents flammable fuels/exhaust gasses or suchlike

One of the most obvious places and frequent places for a locksmith would be multi-storey housing blocks

......where there'd always be somewhere you could just run a normal extension lead from.

The black & decker professional tools where 24 volt with the remote battery packs, remember machine mart used to stock them.

Not if the OP is on a lock out job

Contractors are not permitted to use 240v so a tranny needs to be lugged about.

However, it may not be permitted to use a customers or block supply in any case, let alone a mains supply

I doubt it is the best thing to do, to turn up on a job expecting to be able to use a mains supply
