Designed/made by the qualified carpenter and for the real tradesman,
we are not like those profit driven people who don't look after our fellow workers,
it either solves the problem, or goes into the rubbish bin.
1x Dewalt 18v Battery Adapter to Milwaukee Tools, adaptors only.
-Fact 1, over specs materials. We only use at least abs+, thick gauge copper metal pin and thick gauge springs, etc. We work from framing to lockup to fixing everywhere here in Melbourne day in day out. We earn average $50 an hour, same with you. I can't afford using an incomplete product that slows myself down or even fails once or twice, I also won't embarrass myself by bringing this to you. For same reason, I don't care if I can save some penny dollars by using inferior materials, I have decent income from doing decent carpentry jobs. So with this, you can rely on it, just chuck it in, and forget about it, do whatever you would like to do with it.
-Fact 2, Locking mechanism, all my adaptors comes with the same locking mechanism as the original, just to make it safe for your battery and tools at the same time remain intuitive as the original brand. Again, it is a tool to help you stay productive and do your things, not something to frustrate you and cause you lose money.
-Fact 3, ergonomics I tried to use colors (ugly? maybe) to help you quickly match it when you have multiple adaptors like I did. Likewise, I only add reinforcement at where it needs to be to make it lightweight and tried to make the profile as low as it can be to maximize maneuverability.
-Fact 4, Locally made,,, or maybe not? Interestingly, you'll find most competitor sellers claim their products are made locally. While I used to indeed make them locally, at the corner of my partner's factor (as the discharge from printing isn't pleasant to smell), I later outsourced the component printing to a local commercial service provider, couldn't be happier. As the machine used are now all commercial grade, much nicer finish, shorter lead time and better precision on the final components. The result is, lower cost, better products. Hence I'm not interested to act like a so called true local craftsman like others do, I only utilize the best resource to let you get the best bang on your money.
-Fact 5, Made by the tradesman, for the tradesmen It's not just a merchandise for me to make money... It's a tool for you and me to add productivity and enable us win on the sites. The mindset is different, I care about your needs as they are also my needs so you can trust most aspects you would look at as a work person are all taken care of. These are engineered to work and have undergo so many test/development iterations..
-Fact 6, Zero risk in using. Of cause we are not nuts that just chuck in some adaptors and damage our battery. All these adaptors, depending on different battery design, will not affect how battery voltage/temperature protection. All these low volt/temperature protection is still performed from the battery side. If there is ever anything extra I've done, is that Milwaukee needs a decoder that's all.
So now, let's have a look at some other products on the market if they ever claim there is a "low volt protection circuit board" or anything alike inside, you know the vendor is talking BS, there will be nothing inside, guarantied, because they know you won't open it anyways.
And in fact I used to try to put a low volt protection board inside, and they are not small, and sometimes can burn, not because of high current, but when near the cutoff voltage (say 13.5v), the frequent change of voltage makes the switch on and off extremely frequently and burn itself. Plus, anther reason it's redundant is for some of the tools (e.g. dewalt blower, hitachi circular saw, lots of Milwaukee cutting tools), this so called board will affect how the tool work, make the running intermittent, like 2 seconds on 2 seconds off etc. And I know all these because I've actually done all these works, and have chosen what's best and keep you best informed, unlike some other full time vendors who just uses gimmick and false statement for eye catching purpose. I will not say their product won't work, it's damn simple and it should work, I'm just thinking those false and gimmick wording is funny and not necessary, just like a tradesman win his jobs by doing good job not by talking like a clown right?
Anyway, enough complains, sorry for the negative emotions, initially just want to keep you informed, then get a bit emotional and thinking those unfairness for the honest tradies (of overly promote themselves with false statement) is everywhere, and nothing wrong, just reality.
-1 year worry free warranty. A worry free warranty should be worry free, by that we mean in case the product did fail in any sense we'll fix it for you. Typically the easiest way is after you providing some photos, we'll send you a new replacement at $0 cost. Yes, simple as that, as after all, a good product shouldn't fail isn't it. If it's not good enough why not making it good enough?
Now I've launched my own website, www.yourtoolbox.com.au, you could find same products there, sometimes with slightly lower price simply because it saves me some running cost vs. ebay. So again everything here is as straightforward as dealing your fellow worker, not some pure profit seeking vendor...
Disclaimer- all adaptors are to be connected between tools and batteries only, never try to charge the battery though it (even if you did, don't panic:) your battery won't be damaged, it just won't get charged properly). But logically, this won't happen right, if you have the charger from a brand that means you are on that platform, meaning you don't need to charge other brand's battery right?
Other than that, don't baby it, use it as hard as you can and see how fast it pays for itself.
