[SEL] Cordless Tools (Semi-OT)

[Arnie Fero]

Hi Folks,

The beauty of cordless tools is that they're, well..., cordless.
Duh...

However, sometimes, you would really like to plug the sumbitch
into a wall socket for long, heavy-duty running.

Clearly, one solution is to buy double tools.  Not elegant, but
gets it done.

I'm not the first bloke to express this need.

I did run across this 24v AC/DC adapter for DeWalt.

And then there's the Robopak...  (seriously pricy)

Probably cheaper to buy double tools.

Does anyone know of an 18v AC/DC adapter that would fit the
DeWalt line of tools and plug into a wall socket?

Thanks!

See ya,  Arnie
