Do Cordless Tools need a Cord Option?

This is awesome. Sometimes I don't want to worry about charging

[abelesparza]

I wish more tool companies had ac/dc adapters.

I’ve been saying for years Milwaukee needs this type of an accessory for this exact reason

[collinsmith]

We need to be heard about this! This would be great for sawzalls.

I would love that on my dewault mini chop saw. The small chop saw with the battery is great to carry around and use. But having the ability to plug it in would be so nice when im set up in a spot for a long time.

That’s not crazy that’s keeping the task going! Respect!

[HauntTechTips]

Pretty cool for when you have a workbench or manufacturing type setup. I appreciate the dual voltage Ryobi tools like their soldering station and fans

[thalegacy]

I'll take one for Milwaukee. Stationary tools need this, great job metabolic tools!

I have talked to some tool reps in the past( before the multi amp hour battery ) They all said that they would lose money on selling batteries if they did this .

I've always said MILWAUKEE needs to do this with the M18 LINE UP
Especially since MILWAUKEE doesn't make corded table saw, chop saws etc anymore. The cord would be great way to go

I made my own cigaret lighter adapter with an old M12 battery for my m 12 tools .I use 20 feet of 12/2 cabtire .and 15 amp thermal cut out and 15 amp fuse .Works perfect

Helps when you’re looking at a mitre saw and going back and forth deciding between corded or cordless. If you’re on a job all day corded is better if I’m at home and have a handful of cuts to do it’s easier to throw a battery on it and get it done.

I feel like the homeowner/diy market is often overlooked when it comes to professional power tools, and the corded option would be great for that market. I'm not building houses and I'm not using my tools every single day. I bought a Milwaukee drill and driver so that I have them for a long time and I dont worry as much about if I drop it or I'm hard on it. I'm still mostly just drilling holes to mount shelves, or building some little DIY projects. Or sometimes even using the drill as a mini barrel sander. It would be nice to have a corded option in case I forget to charge a battery, or if I lose or break a battery pack and cant get to Home Depot to buy a new one.

Also, tools like Milwaukee's Chainsaw or the angle grinder could benefit from a corded option. You're usually not super mobile while using those tools anyway, and those tend to drain my batteries more than anything.

Being able to use my Milwaukee grinders on corded wall power would be a game changer for doing fabrication work on site. That or using a cord on a cordless SDS. The flexibility gained by being able to run corded when convenient or while batteries are charging would definitely be an improvement to productivity

[Notimewaste_tito]

Yes I love that option and I feel it should be the same price as the battery operated tools but I know they'll call it hybrid and charge us about $75 more than just battery operated tools

[Who_datt_]

Can’t have too many options especially with the salsa for sure. I’ll always prefer to use my batteries/cordless tools first but having that option is definitely clutch.

Every company should already have this as an option ten years ago. A recent example I can think of is the milwaukee grinder since It has a low run time.
Having the portability is great in the field, but I don't want to run cycles on the batteries in the shop. Now you have to buy a second grinder that plugs into the wall since milwaukee doesnt make a corded battery adaptor.(That I know of).
Making the tool less versatile and costing the consumer more money in the long run.

Go Vince!
I would love to have that option.

I like that idea, I always wanted to have the ability to use a cord if the battery runs out power. I think that's a great idea

I love the new Metabo platform, my guys are using them more than our Dewalts and Milwaukee's
