Multi power tools with slide-in battery

Slider

— this method involves the use of special guides - a kind of "sled" along which the battery moves during installation and removal; such "sledges" are usually placed at the bottom, at the end of the handle. The slider is suitable for batteries of almost any size and weight, including the most powerful and heavy batteries used in power tools. In addition, it does not have such severe restrictions on the shape of the battery as a clip-type mount. So most modern cordless tools use sliders, and for medium and high power units, this option is almost standard. Its disadvantages include perhaps the moment that the installed battery is located outside the tool and somewhat increases its dimensions. However, this point most often turns out to be unprincipled - especially for powerful and heavy devices that are initially quite large.
