Excellent research! Very informative of what's to come, thank you Currently, I have several Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, and a Rigid belt sander. P.S. The Dewalt 4 piece set was my first tool set as well😊
this was a shokingly entertaning video my dad iand i both use DEwalt my brother uses milwakee and one of our 2 DEwalt batteries died so i might get one of theese adapters very interesting
Thanks for your kind comment !!! Glad you enjoyed it :) The adapters that I purchased actually fit both M18 and DeWalt 20V batteries, so you can swap all your batteries among each other!! lol
I've been using the adapters for a while and they will run the batteries down to one bar and then shut off, so I put them on a charger right as soon as the tool shuts off ... so far no problems, but you're right, it's not 100% foolproof.
@@kintsugimoto yeah it will probably be fine if you remember that, i'm not the only person who uses my tools so i don't really trust anyone else to keep track of it. you also lose power when going through adapters so there's that too, i didn't spend Milwaukee money to get ryobi power lol.
@@altokers Ahhh, yeah good point :) My wife will occasionally borrow a tool, but otherwise they stay within the house. Hahahaha ... that's also very true!!! I guess I'm paying a bit of a premium for the convenience of only using the M18 battery :)
I wouldnt trust any of those chinease adapters or batteries, just get 20v dewalt XR stuff, the actual dewalt adapter and keep the weird M12 tools around. Or at least get the less sketchy bootleg adapters and real M18 batteries
Yup, I switched over to the real M18 batteries after I recorded this. Home Depot ran a couple of really good deals on M18 packs, so I picked up a couple to use on the DeWalt and Ryobi tools that I don't use often.
That's the problem!! I don't have enough outlets in my garage to keep the DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Ryobi batteries plugged in all the time. So only needing to use the M18, I always have one or two that are fully charged at any time.

Thanks for your comment !!! That DeWalt set was the bee's knees back in the day, and if I remember correctly, it cost a small fortune too!!

Using these will fuck your batteries up. Batteries will have no way of talking to the tool and will drain past the point of being able to charge.
