| 1423395 | 2016-07-23 09:00:00 | I had a Bosch that knew no stopping and would sink and then twist off a screw head so fast you couldn't control it. It wasn't operator's error....at least not so much that I'd admit it anyway. It couldn't have been. I'm truly sorry that Milwaukee Tools are so dear in Upsidedown Land as they are delightful to own, use and stare at. Hey... how's about Porter Cable? Or Fein? I know Mr. Fein personally. They build many of the armatures and fields for a lot of other badges. I see that Milwaukee drills can be tracked and performance altered (gizmodo.com) (Gizmodo article) , e.g. speeds with an app, and custom profiles can be stored and uploaded to the internet. Nice and neat - including their drills. Therefore.... Why not focus on self or creative charging when insitu - i.e. as the drill is being used. Can't be hard. Drill motor rotating, creating electro - magnetism, with relatively low voltage - surely can generate a charge output direct to the battery(ies)/ or a "shake type" live infinity cell(s) (www.saikatbiswas.com) to recharge drill battery packs. Or wireless charging. Google doing it to their cars, and mobile phone companies to their batteries. Cordless Drills been around much longer...and seems nothings been done to self charge power tool batteries. |

| 1423396 | 2016-07-23 10:46:00 | Surely you're not suggesting perpetual motion? :) Not enough momentum to get any useful power from any kind of regenerative breaking type deal but wireless charging should be a thing by now. It's been suggested for decades. Self charge is not what I'd call it though, sounds like something for nothing which is impossible. |

It's been suggested for decades. Self charge is not what I'd call it though, sounds like something for nothing which is impossible. Not perpetual - but any kind of motion, even inversion a few times at certain rpm's possibly tripping or connecting a reserve cell (aka top up) to main chamber cells. Then that replenishes. So inducing a form of charge/top up.Or slot in a small booster cell to the battery pack after removing one, like filling up a handgun's chamber with live bullets to continue shooting, similar to a drill to continue drilling. |

Even if that would work, which I doubt, it would be far more expensive to implement than the current solution which is to just have a second charged battery on standby. |

Me, I still have my grandfather's Yankee screwdriver with three bits that he had in Africa, also a brace which I bought here, and a Stanley hand drill. I used Yankee's and brace and bits when I started my apprenticeship the mid 80's, battery technology was only just emerging then in the UK. Batteries took 4 hours to charge and lasted about 20 minutes max so total waste. When I moved over to here I left them in my parents shed where they still reside. I have found a new use for braces thoughI made them into a coat rack for our laundry. I'm making a smaller one at the moment with only two on to possibly sell. 7321 |
