I'm not sure if this a good idea. USB-C is way too delicate for power tools and has way too many useless contact in given contexts. Anyone would expect lots of small particles or dusts in the environment, the socket should be able to tolerate that and I really don't see how USB-C can handle that. In my home, the most damaged cables are USB-C ones followed by lightening ones which is more or less we can expect from USB-C power tools. IMO any existing power tool battery socket will do as long as all power tools use the exactly the same standard. Current sockets are simple and robust, the only problem is really there are way too many of standard. Almost every vendor have their own. Making it worse, even with the same vendor, the sockets can be different between generation or different series, which make it really hard if not impossible to share batteries between tools. USB-C kinda alleviate the exchanging issue but in turn introduced reliability issue, which might be worse actually.
