Has anyone ever messed with some old tools for fun? Rig up an adapter so a m18 battery works in a m12 tool or the other way around?

I haven’t personally, but there are some fun videos on YouTube. Search for Matthias makita frankendrill

I’ve been thinking of making a m18 to Ryobi adapter. I also want to use m12 for powering automotive aux lighting or even a blower motor.

Would like an adaptor to allow the use of a Bosch 14.4 lithium on a Bosch 14.4 volt hedge trimmer, that’d help my dad out.

I use it in my regular m12 hackzall. Probably only have an hour of use with it cutting plastic fender flares, sheet metal and 1/4″ mdf. Tool hasn’t over heated yet and actually seems to run a lot cooler than the m12 battery. Tool runs a lot faster.
