That is the big problem with the power tool world, non-interoperabliliy. I just wish, at least the batteries were interchangeable. That would make life a whole lot easier. The plug-in variety don’t need to be interoperatable.

I had to do a whole lot of routing one time. I went to another place to do it and brought one fully charged battery. When I was almost done, the battery went dead and I didn’t bring a replacement. There were plenty of different batteries where I was, but none of them went into the Ryobi router. What an absolute pain in the a**. I had to finish the project another day.
