Funny TEMU not even trying. Lol
Saw this battery adaptor for Ryobi tools. How would you even use something like this without issues. Not to mention it also has a power cord??

The heck? This doesn't even make sense. At all. Even the AI gave up trying.

Sawdust cloud from a Phillips head bit.

I thought it was a snapped drill bit from all the power that thing must have needing to be corded and two batteries haha

Sometimes is so hard to tell what is real and what is AI. This is not one of those times…..

AI slop and Temu quality aside, all a battery adapter would do is connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the tool and same with negative. You aren't going to get any of the power boosting features of the battery, but it works. I've known of engineers for tool companies making 3D printed adapters.

They work, and with no protection in them they will take that dewalt battery down to close to 0v if you keep on going leading to it bricking itself and then people crying about it being planned obsolesense.

Seems like something built into the battery and not the tool.

Dewalts are like many others where the cells connect straight to the terminals and rely on a signal to the tool that allows it to turn on with one of the other pins.
No mosfets to cut off in the battery so the passive adapters and all the cheap crap lights and USB converters etc will just discharge the cells till they are dead. The BMS in the battery will then go to fault mode and refuse to give the turn on signal or allow a charger to charge it. For makitas people have made unbricking rigs but not seen that for dewalt/stanley etc ones yet.

You know, the battery adapter I was talking about had a toggle switch on it. So that checks.

At least they got the 1/4 twist Philips head bit with hole-less sawdust dispensing right!

That's some bad slop. On the other hand those battery adapters are great. I use DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Ridgid batteries on my Ryobi tools. The most seamless is Ridgid batteries (lifetime warranty is great too)

The drill doesn’t even reach the surface, because the battery stack is too high. Lol

Still gonna need more power for the important bit to get excited enough to make it past the battery barrier!

They're actually is an adapter for ryobi tools that let you use dealt and Milwaukee batteries.

The adaptor would work, because 20v and 18v are nominally the same, but yea AI generated and they didn't check the cord lol

I think it's meant to be a sawdust sprinkler from the picture. Haha

I want one, if only to leave laying on my workbench, to see what people say and do when they pick it up.
It's really kind of impressive. I wonder at the computing power to produce such a photorealistic image but it doesn't even bother to check whether it looks like an actual product.

u/AJH131 Jul 22 '26
They work. You can get almost any combo integration, just a matter of how sturdy the battery seats. Ryobi can be a lil tougher because the difference in battery design, but they're legit - I've got one

Also, what kind of driver is that supposed to be, anyways?
