Any Power Tool, One Battery: EU's Genius Plan 

That cable with the earth already sleeved is called earth sure and has been on the shelf’s since last month.

The sleeved earth does actually exists its in screwfix now

Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

And metabo also do a common battery which most European manufacturers use anyway

had he said 1st of January 2026, I wouldn't have taken this as April Fools joke

CAS is a great system - shame it’s not standard.

Haha April fools..😂

Thanks 🤣

True

How so? Sales of electronic devices far outstrip tools hence why apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Heh, same

Ya, the one day you can't believe anything you see a on the Internet.🙃

Sure are 🤣

April Fools 😂

Thanks for the feedback (literally) - which other channels do you tune in to regularly and we’ll have a listen to calibrate.

@@efixx Thanks for replying. Without listing my entire 100 plus subs (it is great being retired!), here are the main ones: Everything Electric Show, Cutting Edge Engineering, RSymons RSEV, Out of Spec Motoring, Munro Live, Veritasium, Fully Charged Show, Just Have a Think, James Shack, Colin Furze. I think all of these have more volume than your channel. Please bear in mind that I play my sound from my PC via a stereo amplifier and hifi quality speakers. I am a bit of an audiophile in this regard, so most listeners on headphones or with economic speakers probably won't suffer in the same way.

👍🏻

Sure is

Great idea..?

@@efixx all the way up to using Ryobi as a standard, it sounded like what should be on the books. There is no single brand that makes the best of every tool. Standardising a 18v, 36(40)v and ~90v battery and charging system would be to everyone's benefit. Something similar to the USB C communication protocols to allow for fancier charging voltages/currents would allow for flexibility. All decent batteries have charge controllers integrated in the battery, so there really doesn't need to be any objections. When you started talking about cables power connectors, it was like a tradesman's wet dream. (Sorry) Obviously it would be an irritation during the change over. But many brands are introducing a change over as higher voltage platforms are being introduced. I have resisted personally upgrade to Makita 40v system purely for the hassle of the change over, even though there is a noticeable improvement in performance across the range. I did get my employer to start making the change though, one work crew at a time.

Ah but then what happened, these April fools jokes seem to be a bit prophetic 😂

Congratulations 👍🏻

Thanks 👍🏻

It was fun 👍🏻

And a raft of legal battles and a veto

👏🏼

🤣🤣🤣

Likewise 👍🏻

As does Gordon 👍🏻

Thanks. We enjoyed this one 🤭

The ironic thing is that Ryobi & Milwaukee are the same company.

Cheers 👋

Yep

Sure is

@@efixx thanks for the info

Yep

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks 👍🏻

i disagree if all the battery tech people all join forces great leaps could be made in no time at all. like the space program and neuclear bombs

Take the cover off - most are Samsung cells and the electronics are all very similar.

👍🏻

So true

You sure about that?

I was taken in so well that I was seriously thinking how can Rees Mogg screw this up

Not long to go now

Yes but we still tend to follow the regs

Guess you’ve already invested in a full suite of Ryobi.

@@efixx Ryobi was the point at which things stopped making any sense.
