A person who uses these tools for a living would most likely use a smaller Ah battery on an oscillating tool. When I use mine, I usually use a 2.0 Ah so it's lighter. One of the main reasons for this is it will wear your arms out faster with a heavier battery because of the oscillating/vibrations that that these create.
The idea of battery ecosystem is more beneficial to the manufacturer than the customer. They make the batteries expensive and then expect you won't buy another brand because you would have to not only buy tools, but more batteries. Of course most of these 18V and 20V are interchangeable with an inexpensive adapter.
Yea i no thats what my slim 4ah battery is for. Its barely heavier then a 2ah but lighter then a normal 5ah and 21700 cells. Yea i hear ya about the ecosystem thing but i also have 4 makita 18v tools myself and makita batteries. And 1 m12 tool. No adapters

What's the difference? I thought xr means brushless.
