I just bought an M12 kit consisting of 3 & 6Ah batteries, charger & case for $89, on sale. That's 9Ah of battery capacity. Minus the charger and case we're talking around $65-$75. Or, 18Ah for around $130-$150. Obviously can be done because it has been done, very recently. The actual adapter &...

I was asking more out of curiosity than actual present need, but this spring I'm going to do a lot of derusting on my car's rear and underbody with the M12 die grinder, and I understand that it eats through batteries and I'd rather not keep swapping and charging. I'm talking hours of work on a...

So are multiple batteries. And I wasn't asking about a universal one adapter fits all solution, rather one per each tool and battery platform. It's literally just another battery, in 2 parts, connected by a cord. That would be inefficient with the DC-AC then AC-DC conversion. Unless you mean...

So? They still exist and I assume anyone could buy them even for DIY use. Are they super expensive?

Possibly, but seems like it might be useful in some cases. I've had situations where I had to keep changing and charging batteries and it got annoying, and something like this would have been very useful. I could have purchased more or bigger batteries, but this would have been much more...

Yes, exactly what I meant. It should be relatively simple to make at least the adapters for all the major portable power tool brands and lines. The actual battery packs could be universal and even multi-voltage and come in various sizes, shapes, configurations and capacities. What could...

Well, not everyone has or wants to buy a compressor, which requires a nearby outlet, and ditto on a power cord, which only works with plug-in tools. Lots of people, and I'm guessing most DIYers these days, use mostly portable battery-powered power tools, and this would extend their use without...

Not sure what it would be called, but basically, I was wondering if either the major power tool makers or 3rd party battery and accessory makers make adapters that attach to a given power tool like a battery would, but instead of being an actual battery, they have a longish wire or cable that...

What "silly" ideas? I'm not a pro or serious enthusiast like most here and don't know tools cold like I assume you do. You sound like you expect everyone to know everything up front and that only idiots don't. How was I supposed to know that drill/driver attachments are unsuitable for more than...

The kit I bought came with 3 & 6Ah batteries. This one comes with 2 & 4Ah ones. Again, not looking to make a killing, I'm sure that anyone who can wait a while will see the price I paid or just a bit more eventually. But it just seems a shame to return it when I'm sure there are folks who could...
