CB, ever have to run out 200' of cord for a short little job, just to wrap it up again? or have to work in an area with 100's of places for a cord to tangle up? sure are nice at the bone yard. I hate to drag a generator out to the woods to build a tree stand. anywhere there is not yet AC, new building sites, roadside repairs, etc. my cordless driver drill is my single most used power tool. |

sphenicie, I think you missed a detail. Hanuman is talking about taking the cordless tools, making an adapter, and running them with a microwave transformer. Meaning the tool is now corded instead of battery powered. Coche's question is simply "why not get a corded tool". I think he also already has the answer; because Hanuman already has the tool and it has become somewhat useless with bad batteries. Wiring it to a transformer makes it useful again.

The battery packs are much like wireless phones from the 90s. They are just AA or something strapped together and connected. I took my batteries to BatteriesPlus or something like that, a local store. And they replaced the batteries inside with their own. It's as good as new to me. Works just like the day I bought it. I think it was $20-30 for a battery. It was half the price of a new one or so. |
