Battery Extension Cord for Cordless Tools

Allows using your battery away from the tool, making the tool lighter. I used this with the router jig I made for my lathe, both to reduce the weight of the tool and to use the battery as a counterweight. I’ll link those videos below. I did an Amazon search and it looks like this can be made for other battery brands as well. Imagine using this with a weed-thwacker and how much lighter it would be!
