I decided to standardize on Ryobi after buying some Craftsman yard tools and getting frustrated with the multiple charger situation. It helps that there is an outlet store about 20minutes away that sells factory blemished tools.
I do like the battery tools for convenience. I've been building some built-in cabinets on the wife's request, and dragging an air hose to run the brad nailer has gotten to be a drag. For $60, I got a factory blemished, battery power brad nailer that doesn't require a cord or hose and is barely heavier than the air powered one.
The battery chain saw is really light and convenient when I want to take out a few branches. But, when I was clearing a 1/2 acre of 60ft poplars, I had to buy a gas power one.
