IS the $$ !! 3 years ago I could/did buy "genuine" Hitachi/Metabo 18 volt 3AH batteries for $38-40/battery  . I was on Amazon tonight and they're up to $70 ++  . I can drag an extension cord on an electric powered for a WHOLE lot cheaper  !!

Carrying them corded tools in a truck, tractor, or combine doesn’t pan out so well. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

I got several of both the smaller and larger HST batteries for my Metabo/Hitachi cordless impacts (and older Hitachi drill) with the new hammer drill and 1/4" impact driver. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

I'm slowly becoming all battery. I'll pay the price. Got Milwaukie stuff. No more corded, air hoses and noisey ass compressor to drag around. 1/2" battery impact works well but it still takes an air gun at times with just a little more balls to it. Not very often though.

Some guys at work are going all battery. I mean table saws n chop saws n such. The tools are designed for punch list work and not daily contractor work in my opinion. I use the nail guns as such. If we have a days worth of work in one spot I drag out cords n hoses. |

He is working his post count up. Thinks if he has the most posts he is king or
something. But I don't know what being king of Orange Power gets you ....................a dinner with the orange man? I better move and make other posts he is ahead of me. |

I'm going to classify you as "special"
 !! There are THOUSANDS of corded tools on "legitimate" residential/commercial job sites  !! Have you ever drug a "cordless tool" onto a 12/12 roof 20' up the run ONLY to have the battery drain ?? That's why I carry a cord up  !!! |

A shock from a bad cord killed one of my coworkers years ago. My employer since created enough rules around cords to discourage corded tool use. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

It would only be common sense to not use a dead battery.

| For sure battery operated tools are a love hate deal. They have many advantages when air or hydro is not available and great in shop too so you are not tripping on cords. I hate the high cost and the fact that you are constantly replacing batteries. They are not cheap and use a lot of precious metals. No guarantee of proper recycling. |
