What the hell, it's free, I'm not fussed - but why tell us you're sending it, then?

For some reason the publicity photos just don't convey the scale of the thing. I still think it's an incredibly thoughtful addition to a nearly comprehensive line of tools, but the bulk is a point against it. If I end up with a OnePlus outfit anytime soon (hint, Santa!) I'll probably try my hand at making my own battery receiver and coupling it to a 120mm fan. Oh, and while I'm thinking of common-battery systems: Why don't those "charge the 18v pack from the lighter socket" chargers include a button that says "Dump power from the 18v pack into the car, please". So we wouldn't have to carry a big lead-acid jumpstarter in addition to the arsenal of power tool packs. (I know, the chargers are designed to cut out before killing the car battery, but sometimes I jump *other* people's cars, too.) I guess an $8 set of cables is easier and more reliable.
