Why not try using a small soldering iron instead of the drill?

OK, I did not (yet) buy a Honda or Yamaha generator.  I picked up one from
the neighbors friend for $75, so I figured I would give it a whirl.  I did
test run it last year and it was relatively quite and not too heavy.  I
figured if I keep lifting it, I might get as buff and Anthony Abdullah.

Anyway, I hooked up the power supply/chargers to it and nothing.  I tried
my old Triton 2, nothing.  Maybe the output is not stable enough.  I read
the directions again and it says for low load (250W or less), try moving
the lever half way to the choke position.  Nothing.  I figured, what the
hell, hooked up a drill to it.  Power!  OK, so now I hook up the Triton 2
and the drill and run the drill.  Power to the charger!  Seems without
sufficient load being called for, the generator does not put out.  I am not
electrically inclined, but is there something I can do to at least use the
generator until I find a good deal on a Honda?  Having me stand there with
a drill the whole time I am charging does not sound appealing.
