Anybody has used one of those adapters intended to cross-use batteries between Ridgid and Makita? Either direction. I see some 3D printed affairs on ebay starting at around $35, which could be a good move depending on your battery situation. But they are big and fairly clunky looking. That is that, but maybe more importantly for some tools, there is also the question of whether the use of the adapter would reduce the power of the tool, if the adapter wiring is too limiting, perhaps. And there is also the issue of communication between tool and battery to avoid overheating etc. Do you have first hand experience with one of those? How is it working out for you?
