I'm not a brand warrior. I have quite the mix of tool brands.
Is it not a hassle having so many batteries and chargers or are you wired?
Why can brands just have adapters for battery's to ac power. If I don't need it to be wireless then why do I need a battery.
I also think the tool company's need to do what the EU doing with USB C, so I don't have to go dig for a proprietary charger
Absolutely agreed that the battery situation is stupid and creating a lot of waste. Unfortunately I don't think these companies are going to willingly give up the cash-cow that is proprietary batteries and chargers, along with the sunk-cost customer base they maintain with it, unless they're forced to. It's a shame other countries don't protect consumers with as much vigor as the EU.
