Was trying to find a post by Phil, saying he would show his lab, once he cleaned it.

I'll start.

oh oh, I'm Porter Cable. I guess you'll have to kick me out of the gang. Not as good as 3 of those, but better than 1 of them

What happens for those of us with multiple brands? (Including Porter-Cable, as it happens.)

If YA fiction is anything to go by, that makes you the Chosen One or Divergent or something.

Really though it just means you have to inventory more than one kind of battery. Too bad they can't all be standard.

That makes a lot more sense then. Can't get locked in to the battery ecosystem if you're not using batteries.  
(Why yes I did buy the discounted Milwaukee starter kit and slightly regret it seeing the full price of batteries and tools)
