At least that is realistic!!

Most the HP numbers Sears and so many other tool and appliance makers claim
are complete Bull Shit!

I forget the exact formula, but Volts X Amps = Watts, and Watts can be
converted directly to HP (750 =~ 1 ??)  There's no way to make more than a
little over 2 HP from a motor on a typical 120V 15A circuit, and that would
have to be a damned efficient motor!
