If battery powered I would want all my battery tools to share the same battery. Does this HF battery run other tools? Have to decide how far down this road you want to go.
This is precisely why I invested in Ryobi One+ tools. I have 3 LI batteries that can be attached to any miriad of tools. I routinely weed wack my entire yard on one charge. I trimmed four trees last week with a reciprocating saw, filling my entire truck bed with branches up to a couple inches thick on one charge. Great system for camping duties. IMHO of course.
I'm with Billie on this one!
When we where ready to replace the RR on the 93 Pace I used BOTH my Ryobi with I believe 4 or 4 batteries...... I was VERY IMPRESSED how well the Ryobi's help up to the task. I always had one battery pack on the charger. NEVER lost time waiting for batteries to charge.
Yes, the newer batterires are more pricey BUT they (batteries)are at least HALF the co$t of the "competitor".
I was sold on Ryobi BUT, one more story....
I purchased the cordless weed wacker thinking I was going to return it in a week. HOLEY WEEK WACKER BATMA!! The Ryobi weed wacker came with the larger battery. wow, I coule not believe how long that wed wacker ran on ONE charge!
I was always told NEVER buy ANYTHING from HF with moving parts! LOL
I'm beginning to believe it.
