Tools
Power tools are self-powered, portable or stationary hand and machine tools that can be used to perform various tasks that require mechanical force. At first, they were operated manually, however, as industrialization progressed during the Industrial Revolution, they became powered by a variety of means like water wheels or steam engines. Today, a wide range of power tools are available for use. Some power tools are battery-powered however batteries are not interchangeable between models and brands. This can lead to vendor lock-in and a lack of durability when a battery charger or power tool component is damaged. This can be addressed with adapters from the aftermarket that can be used to allow the use of different battery powered power tools, but this can be risky due to the possibility of security and performance issues.
