Just curious why the 12v fan, switch and other doodads as opposed to a regular 110 fan with a switch on the back of it? Planning on using it out on the road?

Two reasons for the 12V fan. The first thought was to be able to use my small solar panel to run it. My garage door faces west and I'm most likely to be puttering around in there after work, during the warmest part of the day. But the panel only puts out 0.1A@20V max, which I didn't learn until after I built it.
Second reason is to be able to use it in our camper. If 110V is available, I just plug the power supply into the lone outlet in the camper. If 110 isn't available, I can plug into the 12V supply.
jct-The thought had crossed my mind, but I've had 21 years of Great Lakes summer humidity here and nary a problem with rust on the tools. But I will keep an eye on things just in case this thing tips the balance.
