    Batteries are a hell of a lot less to deal with than finding an outlet within a couple feet of a site work space.

    I mean, is charging a device every so often really that much worse than having to basically charge it constantly while in use? Not having batteries is good for accessories that can draw power from the main machine, but not for a standalone handheld tool in my opinion

      Even if you are constantly using the device, you can still swap batteries when one dies.

  Mostly people with very cheap employers. Like, we had to keep using the old computer mice with a ball, and regularly waste time cleaning out the lint, instead of just getting us optical mice.
