    This is why I prefer wired tools when practical.
    I can’t justify buying the one brand I have batteries for when the other really good brand has something good on sale.

    Obviously won’t get a wired drill, but my angle grinder and miter are both 230V. I hate locked ecosystems

      It’s why Bosch’s Power4All is a bit frustrating.

      Shared batteries…with about 4 manufacturers…and not on the Bosch’s professional tools.

      Don’t get me wrong, I still achieve a lot with my Bosch green tools. And my Flymo ones on the same battery.

      But it’s a real shame more mfgs weren’t involved.
