  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 imagine the same as every single laptop in existence. A big brick that sits on the floor and a very long cord.

        Why couldn’t that work?

        Other tools are way more power hungry than a drill. Someone gave me a m12 Vacuum as a gift and it can’t run for more than 15 minutes on battery.

  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.
