        Batteries are a hell of a lot less to deal with than finding an outlet within a couple feet of a site work space.

        I mean, is charging a device every so often really that much worse than having to basically charge it constantly while in use? Not having batteries is good for accessories that can draw power from the main machine, but not for a standalone handheld tool in my opinion
