It's a scam like printers. The machine is just to get you to buy into their battery (or ink) ecosystem.

I hate this. I just need a battery byt I dont want a bunch of tools. My boss has like 4 sawzalls because of this nonsense.
>>
>>3007083
Rebuild the battery packs and sell them back to your boss at $1 less than retail value. Keep pressing him on what a value it is, especially in this economy. lmao

>>3007063
what kind of drill? just bought a 12 v with battery for 55 dollars
buy fromchina?
>>
it's not hard to adapt batteries between brands if you already have them.

>>3007087
Always a coinflip whether chinesium tools will last 2 minutes or 20 years before falling apart
>>
>>3007063
just buy the tool and then the knock off battery, ez
>>

Buy the decent drill and battery and buy knock off tools that fit the battery where you don’t need finesse and precision. Don’t buy knock off batteries they are shit and stop holding charge. Someone wants to buy me a present then I tell them to get me a battery.

unless you're trying to flaunt your tools online, you really shouldn't pay that much. when you open these fanciful machines they're nothing but a motor and a gearbox. get something cheap like picrel that doesn't use carbon brushes, and you're good to go. bits aren't system specific like batteries thank god.
>>
just get a corded drill bro
>>
do generic drill batteries exist?
>>
>>3007063
The kits are by far the best bang for the buck. Drill and impact plus two batteries and a charger is usually a negligible amount more than just a drill and battery.
