Power Bucket Replaces Tool Batteries
 ✖  |
"Cordless power tools work great but if you've got a big job to do, you might need 6 or 8 batteries to get though one day's work," says Brian Smithers, co-inventor of the new "Power Bucket", a new batteryin-a-bucket that'll run cordless hand tools 20 times longer than standard, batteries.
A 12-volt wet cell garden tractor battery mounts in the bottom of the plastic 5-gal. pail. A 14-ft. cord runs from the battery to an adaptor that mounts in place of the battery in the power tool. When working, you carry the tool and battery bucket with you.
"It gives cordless tool users the power and dependability that they've wanted," says Smithers, noting that the battery is expected to last more than 1,000 recharges. "It has a power rating of 40 to 44 amp hours. That compares to a rating of 1.2 amp hours in a standard cordless battery."
You can carry tools and accessories on top of the battery inside the bucket. Adaptors are available to fit Makita, Black & Decker, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Skil, and Rigid cordless tools. Other makes can be custom-fit. Sells for $84.95, not including battery, which Smithers says you can buy for about $20 at a discount store.
