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.


Chuckle. I love my 24v cordless for small jobs, and it worked great for
shooting screws when I had to blacksmith my tin shed that the tree fell
on. But for any long screws or production work, I get out my real corded
drill. Those other battery tools, like the baby rotary saws and such,
seem like toys. I almost never need to do any work where 110 isn't
available within 100 feet or so.
