Cordless tools!!!!
Oh man what a waste of time. I have a few small-ish projects in the back yard ans away from power outlets. The materials are mostly 2X's and plywood so wrestling the full sized corded Craftsman circular wasn't appealing to me.
I have a Ryobi cordless drill that works well so I figured I'd get a Ryobi saw (6 1/2 inch) so I could use the same batteries. Get home charge the battery and set to work. Four cuts, 4! later the saw stops. I check the battery and the charger says it's full. Try again and the saw won't run under load. Screw it. I return it and get a refund.
I go online and check some more so I go out and get a DeWalt. Believe it or not the same friggin' thing! A few cuts and it stops. Back to the store, full refund, drag out the Craftsman. sigh
I'm thinking they all probably use the same provider for the batteries.
Any success stories for cordless saws?
