I saw this the other day on HD.com. $159 is a decent price for 9AH batteries, but I think I’m going to wait to see if they show up cheaper for BF sales.
On a side note, I’m not entirely sure what I’ll use these for. The work light is the only Ryobi tool that I have that I can think of off the top of my head where the extra size and weight won’t be a problem. I don’t have the dual miter saw or vacuum. What else are people looking forward to slapping these monsters into?
It’s a good question. Ryobi doesn’t exactly have a plethora of high-draw tools. Even their miter saw is a dual-battery which largely obviates the need. I see some utility being able to run the fan endlessly though, and a very specific utility for me is to letting my many camp mates at Burning Man drive dozens of lag screws into hard-packed playa at a time.
