You missed the whole point. Let me be brief.

They are screwing the tool users by selling an ++NEEDLESSLY++
inferior tools at a high price. There sold these same drills last
year wtih 3 Ah batteries, but replaced them with crap.
On purpose. They replaced a 3 Ah battery with a1.5 Ah battery.

It is a PITA dragging around a 100 foot cord.

There is no reason to anymore unless you have a high consumption
tool. 100' of cord isn't that big of a deal, but what if it is twice
or three times that, or your cords would wind up in the path of your
client's customers when they want to access his business?

Do you go home? Do you turn down the work?

There is a huge void that quality cordless products fill perfectly.

Can't say as I missed the point.

Probably the smaller batteries result from user compalints about the size of the bigger ones. Given the cost of the 1.5 Ah, a 3.0 might be cost prohibitive.

Tried some of those cordless years ago,
found them wanting and never went back.

The 100 is only because I use a small, quiet generator onsite. Works for me. :-)
