If you buy their brushless line, you can add a few decent tools to your lineup while using the cheap stuff for everything else. Same battery platform generally.

- sitkack 6mo agoYou can buy or make adapters so there is no battery platforms. If we had a functioning FTC there would be no battery platform.
- peatmoss 6mo agoDidn't realize adapters were common! I agree on the FTC / standardization point.
- sitkack 6mo agoI have many cheap ryobi niche tools, but use Makita batteries in them.
- pandaman 6mo agoThat would suck, because even the same company might have 2 or more different battery platforms. I, for one, have Milwaukee tools from both M12 and M18 platforms. They are for different applications and I specifically bought some M12 tools because their M18 equivalent was too big for my applications, and, on the other hand, I bought some tools in M18 because their M12 counterparts were underpowered for my applications. Imagine running a driver to assemble your PC and an SDS MAX hammer off the same battery?
