I was very skeptical but also very interested in using our Shark vacuum without the proprietary battery and charger. When I placed my order and received my confirmation email from the company, I was wondering what I had done. Since the email was all in a language/characters I didn't understand, I was wondering if the purchase was legit. Let me tell you... it sure was. I got another email with tracking info and the adapter showed up pretty quickly. It works great!!! Where the shark battery would not clean the whole house without a recharge, the Makita battery still has plenty of juice left after the job. We are VERY pleased and would not hesitate to make the purchase again.
It never fit the tool, It took several email’s.to get the credit and a long time receive it. I also bought the paint sprayer it also took a long time to receive after I received the email saying it shipped and wouldn’t track
The adapter might be good, and work well, but in my case the Ridgid battery will NOT go on the tool with the adapter. Tool is Milwaukee pole hedge trimmer, battery is a Ridgid 4 AH battery. I have read threads that say not to use these adapters because there is no connection for the tool to talk to the battery. Apparently they communicate with each other.
No fault of the adapter, I'm not going to use it.

I used it maybe for 20 min. and it stopped working, tried the battery from B&D on saw it worked, went back to your Adp. and it did not work and nothing that I have tried can get it to work...piece of crap. DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.
I'm used to using commercial Stihl blowers. Recently had one stolen so I needed a blower and not spend several hundreds of $$. So I bought this one. I have run 2 tanks of gas through this blower and this is what I have to say this far. It starts right up, and after a short warm up it runs strong. The engine occasionally, misses a beat. My guess is the spark plug. Seems to made from a lower quality plastics. The are straps and back padding although is there.. it gives you very little comfort. The power of the blower is fairly decent. I blew some wet debris and it did well. It won't blow big piles but does decent with wet and smaller areas. I'm jus bought this blower to get some work done until I can replace a Stihl that was stolen from me. And it seems..to be getting the job done. Over all, not a bad purchase for the money.
