Default slightly on topic; battery chargers for cordless drills.

Hey All,
I wonder if anyone out there notices this phenomenon when charging the
batteries on your cordless drills or other tools. I have three brands
of cordless drills. My oldest is a Dewalt 12 volt, followed by a
Bosch 14.4 and the most recent is a Festool 12 volt. When I am
charging the Festool we get some interference (buzzing/humming noise)
in any radio we play in the house, both AM and FM. The Bosch and
Dewalt do not cause this interference. Does anybody notice this?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Marc



I have heard this can happen in older wired homes.... If your wall outlet
has equal sized holes that will permit you to plug in the appliance in
either dirrection, up or down, try unpluging the charger, rotate the plug
180 degrees, and replug.
