Forget electric-car research, the way DeWalt is going they will be able to make their own all-electric cars soon. Lol. I think these tools could be very useful. However, I'd imagine it's main market will be construction (since these things are way heavy duty) and battery life is always an issue with stuff like this being used in the field for extended periods. I think something like this could be a nice addition to many workshops though (for DIYers and FIRSTers alike) because it allows you to easily work on things out in the yard or away from other things without the issue of power cables. These things are at the point where they can efficiently power these massive tools that you would want to plug in in the past (i.e. circular saws). If I did more DIY work (considering I'm in an apartment I don't tend to go building things that require tools like that lol) I think something like this would be a nice thing to have if the price was right.
