Badaptor MAK-RYO Makita to Ryobi Battery Adapter

Product Information

Cost effective – Badaptors save you money by converting your existing 18V Makita battery to work with the entire range of Ryobi One+ tools. So far I have only tested it out on my Ryobi lantern (I didn't dare use any of my other tools because it was 2:00 a. When I have time I am going to try putting a little epoxy or something like that in the well where the battery lock goes and see if that won't solve the problem, I imagine it will though. Idk what a "star battery" is, but I have used a genuine Makita 5aH battery and I do see a star on it if that is what you are talking about.

I then read multiple reviews from major tool brand reviews (user reviews, not manufacturers) that said the Ryobi cordless (battery) 16 gauge finish nailer was the dogs wotsits. So I am a cheap azz that doesn't want to introduce a new battery platform on my shelf just for one tool.When a battery is inserted into the Badaptor, the clip mechanism ensures it cannot be easily removed from the tool until the battery has been removed. Whilst this combination works just great, I was increasingly finding it cumbersome to lug the compressor/hose/extension to wherever I needed to nail something. I am primarily a Ryobi user, but after getting this I plan to switch to Makita for batteries and certain heavy duty tools i. Now, here's the important bit: the small voltage difference between the two doesn't really matter when using a battery adapter.

With a selection of gardening, cleaning, and even crafting tools, they offer daily-use tools other brands don’t cater for. This means that a Badaptor opens up a whole new world of tools you would never have thought about using. The bit you squeeze to remove is just a recessed hook and needs a good bit of pressure to bend it out the way. As you can see, because of the increase in thickness (this is with a 6aH battery) the pump no longer sits on the floor, but it seems to work fine regardless. Simple to attach and detach – The clip mechanism means that attaching and removing the Badaptor could not be easier.

A second slightly more serious issue is that the back of the adapter seems to be a little off so that the battery can rock back and forth a little bit and occasionally that can cause a power interruption. I generally use Makita tools but when I needed an 18g nail gun I opted for a Ryobi brushless one based on extensive reviews beforehand. Along with the cost-saving benefits, Badaptors enable you to get more from your batteries that may otherwise never see the light of day.So if you’re looking to use your 18V Makita batteries with Ryobi One+ tools, grab yourself a Badaptor at badaptor. Simple to use and easy to attach, the DeWalt to Makita Badaptor clips securely into any Makita 18V tool with no movement. There are very few battery platforms that are truly universal, with each tool manufacturer using their own unique battery ports and connections.
