Charging would probably be done using a Kobalt charger. What I am more curious about is the possibility of interchanging batteries across 18 volt/ 20 volt max line ups. Has anyone actually done this? The only similar item I have seen is the Dewalt DCA1820...

I was wondering the same thing. I was going to try this on older tools first that I don't care as much about. Kobalt 24 volt batteries have one extra cell compared to most other brands that use "20 volt" batteries.

Pictures from the eBay listing:

As some of you might have noticed Lowes has been selling Kobalt 24 volt batteries starting at $10 (started a week ago I think). By chance I came across a seller on eBay selling Kobalt 24v battery adapters. He (or she) makes them using a 3D printer. I am in no way affiliated with the seller...

I was talking to a Lowes associate today regarding the Waterloo cabinet. He stated they had over 20 in stock but they were not for sale yet. He guessed they were being saved for Black Friday. In case anyone is wondering the store shows zero in stock on their website.

I see three different listings on eBay for $100 or less. With shipping that's a great deal but something just doesn't look legitimate to me (new listings, low number of feedback, single listing with many jacks for sale). Maybe I'm a skeptic but I just wanted to put this out there for people to...

Is it me or does that cart look similar to the husky tool cart that was on clearance a while ago for $40...

These attachments also work with Black and Decker Matrix drills. The B&D batteries are interchangeable with Craftsman Bolt-On batteries. With slight modification the same batteries can be used on Porter Cable 20v tools.

I agree that the title of that blog entry is misleading at best. It was meant to grab readers just like you or me. On the topic of generational change in regards to tinkering and the garage I believe that the "garage" or workshop will become more important and advanced as time passes. I am...

I also bought from Karens Barn on ebay and their company sent me an email with the link for this auction along with some others.

Not a hot deal but I found this interesting and wanted to share. It looks like some Black Friday/Christmas special buys that didn't sell along with what are probably returns got shipped off to wholesalers and are now being auctioned at the link below...

Just picked up a Flexzilla inflator for $10.99 at the Ringoes, NJ store. They had 4 left. Thanks CarsonConcepts!

I am also curious to know if someone has painted over Gladiator Geartrack. Pictures would also be great if anyone has done this! TIA

I own 5 of the black rubber craftsman hoses. They stay outside year round. Yes they do turn your hand black as well as anything else they rub against and they do kink at times. But I have never had one fail on me. These are many times better than the black rubber hoses I got from Sam's club.

I always read that the black rubber craftsman hoses were the ones to get. They go on deep discount a couple times a year.

I also picked this up after it went on sale earlier in the year. I think I paid around $25ish after surprise points shipped to my door. Does anyone know how sears handles these safety recalls? A replacement would be great but the recall notice lists the solution as a refund.

Always interesting to see how most manufacturers use almost identical internal parts across different brands. I did the same thing using an anvil from a Craftsman Bolt on 3/8 impact wrench attachment swapped in a Porter Cable 12v impact driver and a Porter cable 20v impact driver. I looked up...

Bolt On and Matrix are completely interchangeable. I own CM and B&D drill bases along with their attachments. The chargers and batteries are also completely interchangeable between the two systems. I have almost all the attachments along with two batteries and a charger in a small tool bag. A...

I don't own any porter cable batteries but just from looking at the tools it would probably require less trimming (still needs some) if you used a PC battery with a B&D tool. As a homeowner having PC power tools, B&D Matrix system, and B&D lawn equipment run off the same battery system is...
