QLD.
That is fantastic quality. The $39.99 etc is only for the cables and battery clips, as always the case with China products. It looks to be about half the length and width of my 3000W inverter so would
cook quickly.
The cables and clips will Fry plenty quick at 3000W delivery rate.
Emergency back up inverter perhaps!

Maybe a test unit for a fire suppression system?

Based on SOUND ELECTRICAL PINCIPLES, if doesn't weigh much it won't do the job.

You can buy 10 or 20 of them for the price of a half decent one that's a fair bit of landfill or you can get some money back recycling the aluminium case.

Hi Guys,
A bit of misleading advertising I suspect. The advertisement states “from $39.99”, what it doesn’t state is what you get for $39.99. I suspect it is not a 3,000 Watt Inverter. This is typical of the “click bait” advertising from some of these EBay ads.
Did you click on the ad to see what exactly they are selling for $39.99?
Macca.

Wasn't going to waste my time Macca.
I just found it amusing and thought the rest of you could do with a laugh.
But it seems some just don't have a sense of humour.

I am not going for that, but will invest in one of the newer Ebay Torches/Flashlights. Many are advertised as being 1,200,000 LM out of just 1. yes, ONE weenie little LED and a low Mah18650 battery. Some more moderate sellers only claim, 1,000,000 LM.
A common vehicle light bar with around 32 LEDS and sucking way more power is only 6900LM. SO, therefore the Torch must be fantastic. Some even claim the LED is a LASER LED.
With that power I am expecting my handheld torch to put a
bright spot on the Moon, viewed with some magnification of course.

And they get away with it.
Be interesting to know how many they actually sell.
