and they keep changing designs so you end up with a great tool and no batteries
In the last 20+ years, I've had that happen with ALL my cordless tools: Craftsman, Skil, PC and even my beloved Milwaukee.
I'm pretty sure all manufacturers are doing this - changing battery chemistries and profiles.
I can still find batteries for my circa 1990 Makita 9.6 volt tools, all my older Dewalt tools, Milwaukee and Bosch also. Bosch even makes adapters that are a little hard to lay your hands on, to mix and match some batts with tools.
What Milwaukee can't you find batts for? PM me the models if you want and I bet I can get them through one of my suppliers. They might not be OEM, but will do the job.
