cordless power tools

I am using the 24 volt NATO outlet to power my 18 volt Dewalt cordless power tools. Previous videos showed me using one 12 volt car battery to power Dewalt cordless tools but the voltage was insufficient so I went to the 24 volt application accordingly. Let's face it, Dewalt makes outstanding cordless tools but inferior battery packs that just don't last and are outragious to purchase ($89.00 each over at Home Depot). With this application you can use any household or contractor extension cord to route the power from the source to your job site. I made the female plug adaptor from an old NATO jumper cable end that I replaced with a new part that I bought on Ebay. It got to the point where I had only one useable 18 volt battery left to power all of my Dewalt tools and eventually that bit the dust too. I just could not see spending almost $100.00 for one new 18 volt replacement battery so, as they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention". Not everyone has a military truck to use so you can accomplish the same results by hooking two 12 volt batteries in series. There are even A/C transformers that put out 18-24 volts that can also be used to circumvent the need for a Dewalt battery for your tools. Next I will show you how to use Riobi 18 volt batteries to power your dewalt cordless power tools.
