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.
Having the portability is really really nice.
