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

Do any of these have a plug in adapter? Like a battery pack with a cord coming out of it?

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.

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.
Patches@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Just buy a mains powered tool, they’re usually cheaper anyway.

I need battery powered tools most the time.
