I hate how the batteries are always incompatible with every other tool except (sometimes) the ones by the same manufacturer. Its tempting to get a petrol generator instead and just use corded tools.

    You can buy adapters to use other batteries...it's an extra step but doable,

    Now picturing a McGregor to Parkside to Ryobi to Bosch to ....

    Massive stack of battery converters that ends up looping back round. Now you can take any tool and any battery and just split the stack where necessary. Of course if you want to go Parkside to McGregor you are going to have to have every single adapter in the stack.
