I'm sorry, but for this stuff I'm team Makita.

Yeah you can't just change brands. It's too expensive. You get the battery. You are locked into that ecosystem. Simple as that.

This is why I prefer wired tools when practical.
I can’t justify buying the one brand I have batteries for when the other really good brand has something good on sale.

Obviously won’t get a wired drill, but my angle grinder and miter are both 230V. I hate locked ecosystems

Having the portability is really really nice.
