  Good Lord that should be a thing.

    Some of the bigger tools, like vacuums or table saw do. Unfortunately the little tools are too cluttered with miscellaneous Bluetooth circuits to fit both AC and DC motors.

      But couldn’t you just have the AC to DC converter between the cord and the tool?

        Imagine having a power brick for your battery drill. Truly the worst of both worlds.

    I’ve only ever seen the opposite…power inverters that run off the batteries…

      And they’re typically 100-150 wattage

    Just buy a mains powered tool, they’re usually cheaper anyway.

      I need battery powered tools most the time.

  Milwaukee has two: a small one and a big one.

  Yes, Festool do one for their sanders. A battery tool is usually more expensive and less powerful than a mains powered tool though, so I’m not sure what the advantage of this would be.

    The advantage is when you finally work in your own workshop, instead of on-site, you no longer have to rebuy everything.

  You mean a battery that you can plug a cord into? I have some I got from Ryobi.
