      Venture Capitalism is one of my least favorite flavors of capitalism, I don’t even like the original

      Festools are OK but they are not worth it IMHO. We used to say it’s the tools for those who buy a 5000$ bike before knowing how to ride.

      I delayed buying a decent drill/driver for a goddamn decade because I was paralyzed with indecision about which battery system to get locked into.

      VCCs are why the industry has gone so hard into the battery craze. Iterative ongoing sales. Should make a skeptic out of anyone.

      I don’t buy cordless anymore. If I can have a wire I get it, it’s cheaper, and I’ve had batteries die in the middle of the job way too many times. And I’ve had batteries just break/stop charging. And these batteries cost almost as much as the tools themselves if you have to buy one by itself.

        Yep, have one for the older drill to convert to the newer battery.
