Some real free market work going on....

The announcement came this morning via an X post titled “One Battery to Rule Them All.” The post outlined DOGE’s bold vision to streamline the power tool market while reducing waste. “We’re tired of seeing Americans juggling a dozen different battery chargers like they’re circus clowns,” said DOGE spokesperson Herah Mienta. “This is about simplicity, sustainability, and sticking it to inefficiency. Positec’s got the expertise, manufacturing, and distribution to make it happen.

To sweeten the power tool battery mandate deal, DOGE is offering a “Battery Buyback” program. This will let consumers trade in their old, incompatible batteries for a discount on Positec’s 20V PowerShare packs. The initiative, dubbed “No Watts Left” will launch nationwide at Home Depot and Lowe’s stores this summer. Ace Hardware, Menards, and Tractor Supply will follow in Q4. Elon Musk Tweeted a proposed plan to melt down unused batteries into commemorative DOGE coins—because why not?

The Industry should have done that on their own.

If that was the best way for tool manufacturers to turn a profit wouldn't they have already done that?

Yeah but it's not as profitable. I took law to make Apple switch to Type-C chargers because they made so much money on their own charging tech at exorbitant prices.
There are still plenty of people out there who will only buy the Type-C Apple brand chargers too, even though the cheap ones are effectively the exact same.
I'll say this, my shop has Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt and Ryobi power tools and six different battery types and it's a total pain in the arse. If I'm working 15 feet up a ladder with a power nut driver and an impact wrench, it would be nice to be able to just swap one battery out for the other interchangeably when one of them inevitably dies.
