Default Suggestion for cordless tool makers

Why not offer a CORDED battery replacement?

If the battery poops out, you could continue to use the tool with a
cord - much like you can with a cell phone.

The working parts business of battery charger that comes with the
tool is smaller than the battery itself, and could easily be fitted
in a case the size of the battery.

In the alternative, why doesn't some clever entrepreneur concoct the
device to sell as an after-market product? Certainly non-OEM battery
replacements are available; why not power-cord replacements for the
battery? Heck, I've got some old batteries lying about, I might just try
building a small DC power supply to fit in the scooped-out innards
of one. Just thinking out loud.

Why not use one of those old fashioned drills, you know, the ones you
plug into the electrical outlet in the wall?


Quiet. These guys are re-inventing those.


I hear they are having problems with the AC batteries.
