Hey everyone! I'm curious if there's any adapter available that can convert battery-powered Milwaukee tools to run corded. I love the convenience of battery tools, but sometimes I need to use them for extended periods without worrying about battery life—like when I have to pump out 2,000 gallons of water with my M18 transfer pump. Just wondering if anyone has found a reliable solution or workaround for this. I did try using a drill-powered transfer pump today and you can guess how that went! Looking for more insights or options—I know this might not be a common necessity, but I'd appreciate any thoughts!

Unfortunately, there isn't an adapter for the M18 line that works effectively. Battery tools draw a lot of amps, and most adapters you find are simply not capable of supplying enough power. If you decide to try a DIY approach, please be careful—safety first! It's also worth noting that corded tools from places like Harbor Freight are pretty affordable if you're looking for a more dependable option.
That info isn't spot on. A lot of battery tools can actually run on the power from a standard household outlet since 110V supplies more than enough wattage. The issue isn't the amps—it's likely business decisions. But hey, check out manufacturers like Flex or Dewalt, as they do have converters for their high-demand tools!
