Any issues using power inverters?

Hi all,

I live in an apartment complex and for some obvious reasons they have NO power outlets in the garage. Unless I run a long extension wire, I was thinking of getting a power converter like the one linked below.

However, I just wanted to make sure I'm okay to use something like this to say run a heat gun for a short while. I'm not sure if 12V DC can actually convert into the 110V AC for most items without damaging the battery?

Any thoughts or will the car be okay? Don't want fuses to be blown or battery damaged to be honest.
