Some of the links are affiliate links and I may or may not make a few cents off of them. If you can wait a month you can get them for a few dollars less from China.

One word of cation with Ryobi(and possibly Ridgid): They are the only current made tool with no low battery shutoff built into the tool itself. They control this entirely through the battery as their tools are backwards compatible with their 20+yr old Nicad packs. So you will need to monitor battery voltage and stop when the meter shows or when the tool starts to slow. Continuing to use the tool when it's dying could damage the Dewalt, Makita, etc battery pack.

You will need to stop using the tool before you drain the battery too low. Don't continue using the tool to the point that the tool is getting weak(low battery) or worse stops. Stop and Charge the battery. Lithium packs can be charged anytime and have zero memory effect unlike the old Nicad. Continuing to use the tool when it's dying could damage the Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Black Decker etc battery pack.

Impact Wrench, Drill, Hammer Drill, Impact Drill, Rotary Hammer, Band Saw, Circular Saw, Reciprocating Saw, Angle Grinder, Lights, etc.

I have everything DeWalt. But a lot of my tools are the older 18 volt NiCad types. So I bought adapters for the 20 volt lithium Ion batteries to fit the older 18 volt tools and never looked back. And then bought some used tools that are designed to use 20 volt Lithium Ion batteries and the charger and they fit everything now. Amazing how much longer the tools run now... The charger charges a lot quicker and every tool uses the exact same battery without any issues. No more old tech NiCads!

[nateand]

Awesome info man. Actually pretty life changing in the cordless power tool ownership world. At work i was issued an out of date dewalt impact, an adapter, and a new style battery and charger. I thought it was going to be shit, but I've been using it pretty much daily for a year and a half without any problems. I told my coworker, only a matter of time before they come out with adapters to cross brands....and totally forgot about it till now. I appreciate this video so much man.

[alaskanken]

I was hoping that the day would come when we could use any battery on any tool. Awesome

[arlenmargolin]

I live in Holland and I just use my windmill to power all my tools it's a little cumbersome all the tubes and hoses but hey it's a living

[jamesjohnson]

Hey Thanks for turning the mic down while cutting. Didn't think I'd appreciate it did ya ??? 🎧😁

[crandallwoodworking]

I had all Craftsman cordless power tools, and my wife bought a massive DeWalt kit for me for Christmas. Now I can still use all the tools and not have to worry about deleting tools and batteries. I appreciate the video. Got a new subscriber because of this video!

[panzerkfw]

This guy blows my mind.  He comes up with the best "why didn't I think of that" stuff.  And he comes up with his own original stuff that almost boggles the mind.  A different kind of genius he is!

[davesrepaircom]

Thanks! Had no idea these adapters were even available!
In a perfect world, cordless tool batteries would be standardized, as with D, C, AA, and AAA. But this will really help me with tool battery expenses and charger clutter. Really appreciate this, thanks again!

I've used a Milwaukee 18v NiCd tool to a Milwaukee M18 adapter for several years. It was one of the best purchases I've made since I'm a Milwaukee tool fan. It runs my older reciprocating saw, metal circle saw, and wood circle saws. I am so impressed by the longevity of M18 batteries and tools. I also like Makita tools, but have always balked at purchasing them due to the battery incompatibility with Milwaukee so this video does in deed "open up the world". Thanks.

This might finally be the thing that pushes me over the line and gets me to actually get more cordless tools. I didn't want to play the battery game, so I have avoided many of the tools that I've wanted for a long time.

Thanks for sharing this information. I didn’t know they had come out with battery adapters for hand tools. I should’ve checked because I recently donated my 18V Hitachi tools that were 8 or 9 years old but in very good condition because one battery died and the other two were starting to develop a shorter operating time. I was going to replace them with the 20V Hitachi set but I decided on the 20V Dewalt due to cost. Oh well, at least the charity I donated them too will be able to get more use out of them. I’m going inform the charity labout the adapters in case they aren’t aware. Thanks again!

Four years later, I just found this video. I looked it up because I recently just started doing this and it is the best thing that has ever happened to battery powered tools.

[dienekes]

This is definitely awesome. I had several 18v DeWalt tools and had to buy a new cordless circular saw, so I went to the 20v. I have a 18v jig saw that I thought I had to replace until I found the 20v battery to 18v tool adapter, which I thought was SO cool. I also have a bunch of 18v Ryobi batteries and tools. Knowing that there's an adapter out there that allows me to swap batteries between my various tools is a real game changer!

[steveherr]

Dude thank you! That is an awesome trick. The headache of all these older stuff not working with newer stuff you completely kicked that right out the door, your the man

[MP-zfkg]

It's been really helpful to be able to keep using my old ni-cd tools, primarily black and decker stuff. I actually used to wire up my own adapters until I finally found some pre-made ones online.

[PARDS]

IF THIS CATCHES ON AT ALL, IT WILL MAKE THE TOOL MFG LOWER THEIR BATTERY PRICES BIG

[who_cares]

Holy shit, I've been saying that these should be a thing for years. Someone finally did it!

[kimchee]

Insane to have so many brands. Imagine the different chargers and batteries before those adapters were available.

[IainFoskett]

Your an absolute legend mate :) (Yes I'm Australian, hence the word mate....lol). For WAY TOO many years there has been restrictions on which battery you have to buy with branded cordless tools. I'm so glad I stumbled onto your video, and just wanted to give you a huge thank you for sharing this, with this information I can now buy whichever brand I want to.
