That vac immediately made me think of the CTs and then the folding tables... Someone's copying notes here!

I like that Milwaukee took it a step further and made their extractor mains-ready as well as 36v battery, although at the expense of two separate motors.

I was expecting concrete fasteners.... [eek]

Yea half the readers have been mortar-fied and talk of rebaring

It was a bit hard to tell but the router seems a strange and non-ergonomic design?

Unfortunately these are only patents ... their main purpose is not to make something but to prevent anyone else producing such ... so the more likely effect is we will not see such an arrangement for the next two decades. From anyone.

What, on the other hand, makes all kinds of sense is for the high-end cordless vacs to operate as "charging stations" when on mains. There is no (technical) reason why a CTC Midi class vac could not have a PlugIt port. The battery slots to be dual-use - charging when on mains and running from the batteries when cordless. There is the weight/space budget for this with today's available power electronics. The motor can be BLDC and take power from mains using a converter. Vacs do not need much peak power so it can be a pretty reasonable setup.

I could even see it as an "upgrade" model like a TS 60 is to the TS 55 these days.

From what I've seen in the electronics and manufacturing industries, If we're talking the US patent system, they're granted in such volumes which effectively makes them worthless, and it's only when they are attempted to be enforced by a company that they come under scrutiny, at which point many are simply deemed invalid.

The router looked like a Mouse-Sander of sorts.  Probably more ergonomic than it lets on, but definitely a non-standard shape/style.

I have said that for years about job-site radios too. It bugs me no end that I am using the full charge of a Makita 2ah battery every day. It could be plugged in, charging that battery, and streaming Spotify.
