What brand of power tools?

This video came into my feed a few weeks ago, and this thread reminded me to watch it. Looks like you can get a battery adapter (for $20ish) for most tool options (unless you have Ryobi tools). Might ease the pain of switching over.

And there is nothing wrong with getting into another brand or battery type if you need to. Yes it?s more expensive and doesn?t allow you to stockpile a single battery. But if you have a need to get a different brand, I wouldn?t let the fact you have to buy a new battery ruin it.

There are deals all the time on different things, so just acquire over time unless you really need it now.

The caveat to be concerned is thermal management. I haven't watched that particular video but make sure you understand how the thermal management & safety aspects work. Lots of adapters bypass these or use unregulated batteries. Best case scenario in these situations the battery will run do low that it bricks & is unrecoverable. Worst case can result in fires & such. It can be done as evidenced by an adapter I made to adapt my 20v DeWalt batteries to an older 18v B&D weed eater I got tired of rebuilding the old Ni-Cad packs on.
