Hey everyone! I'm a bit lost and could really use your help. I've got this small drill from Harbor Freight, and I'm hoping to find a USB-C adapter to simplify my cables at home. Here's the link to the drill: https://www.harborfreight.com/48v-cordless-14-in-screwdriver-kit-59758.html.
The drill's specs say it requires 4.8V, so would a 5V adapter be suitable? I found some potential adapters online but I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right specifications. Any advice or guidance you could share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

While I found a good option for a USB-C adapter that supports 5V charging, make sure it’s compatible with your drill. This adapter I'm seeing is priced around $12.99 right now. Just ensure it can handle the output your drill needs. Here’s a quick overview:
- **YAODHAOD USB 3.1 Type C to DC Male Adapter**
- Rated 4.2 stars with 108 ratings. Would it meet your requirements?
Just a heads up, the voltage printed on the battery (4.8V) doesn't always correspond to what the input needs to be. Can you check the specs on the adapter that comes with it? You should look for the output voltage and amperage there. That'll help you figure out which adapter to get!

Thanks for the tip! The adapter is listed as a class 2 power supply with an input of 100-240VAC and 8W, while the output is 7VDC at 250mA. So does that mean I need to look for a 7V adapter instead?
