Hi,

I was wondering if one had to have an XRP tool to benefit the XRP Li-Ion batteries. I’m asking because I am looking to buy a kit that comes with the compact li-ion batteries and am wondering if I ever change them down the road for the XRP li-ion if I would be taking advantage of them. What is the benefit of having an XRP tool?

Thanks.

XRP stand’s for Xtended Runtime Performance. XRP tools are built for more rugged abuse. In the Truck world, Compact would be a Ford F150, while XRP would be a F350. Both are great tools, just different applications. Your compact tools would only see a increase in runtime if you upgraded to XRP batteries.

Hope that answers your question?

Yes… Thank you. I specifically needed to know if I would get the extended time.

Thanks.
