Does anyone use the Ridgid 18V batteries with Milwaukee M18 tools successfully?

 

I need a pole saw and Ridgid does not make one yet. I bought an adapter for Ridgid to M18 and physically it looks like it will work with their pole saw but want to make sure before purchasing.

Great question.  I heard they work but not sure how it protects the battery or the tools since a battery and tool are designed to talk and work together.  With that said, I haven’t heard of any issues.
