The problem with your April 1 videos is that they are bloody good ideas. Still looking forward to that sleeved earth cable.
That cable with the earth already sleeved is called earth sure and has been on the shelf’s since last month.
The sleeved earth does actually exists its in screwfix now
We've had sleeved earth cables in NZ for about 40 years.
Shame it's an April fool. This is my biggest gripe about battery powered tools.
All they need to do is design keys into the casework to make sure that 18V cannot be used in a 12V tool for example and specify size and location of where the battery vent port is and we're good.
Thanks for commenting 👍🏻
It's a shame you think that. It's a terrible idea. Only idiots think it would be good
@@justjames1348 Why?
We have it for virtually every other type of battery. They pretty much all conform to set sizes and connectors.
Tell me why it's a terrible idea so I can decide whether you're an idiot or not.
Ya buggers... nearly had me there...😂
Genius idea, pity is April Fools Day
And metabo also do a common battery which most European manufacturers use anyway
had he said 1st of January 2026, I wouldn't have taken this as April Fools joke
CAS is a great system - shame it’s not standard.
Haha April fools..😂
Genius? You serious. It's a terrible idea. Terrible
I was so hopeful, damn it!! 😢 The very last second is flippin' hilarious!! 😁
Thanks 🤣
You Brits have that deadpan comedy that makes me think it was serious -- literally watched to the end and was like "well.. that's.. interesting.. wait.. how?"
You got me, sigh. Once again, well played 😂
😉👍
Let me start by saying love the vid and idea for it. But Americans dont get British humor, and channels like ours are getting dozens of comments and corrections telling people the EU is enforcing this soon. Not just my channel either. We for instance update 4/1 videos with the date in the title after. We humbly encourage something similar. People are lost.
Jokes aside this is more meaningful than the Apple decision
True
How so? Sales of electronic devices far outstrip tools hence why apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world.
I wonder how many takes that took without smirking and laughing…😂
love the skid mark
🤣🤣🤣
About time batteries were regulated. Thank goodness for the EU, the skid mark champion.
Sure are 🤣
April Fools 😂
You had me there untill you said Ryobi battery
🤭
Heh, same
God I hate April Fools Day
Ya, the one day you can't believe anything you see a on the Internet.🙃
I was waiting for the Made in Yorkshire EBAI Great Universal Module
Long overdue although I think we should have had a draft for public comment before we choose ryobi to be the one.
April Fools 😂
You've got me with this! It was a good one!
Would be wonderful. Imagine charging all those batteries with a usb-c charger!
👍🏻
I'm gonna share this video so hard that this becomes reality. We need a common interface.
At least you can buy adapters to cross platform tools. This part thank goodness is not April fools
I should have realised that such a sensible well thiugt out piece of legislation would only be released on this day before midday.
I kept watching with willing delusion that this could be true all the way until you named Ryobi as the standard.
Great idea..?
@@efixx all the way up to using Ryobi as a standard, it sounded like what should be on the books. There is no single brand that makes the best of every tool.
Standardising a 18v, 36(40)v and ~90v battery and charging system would be to everyone's benefit. Something similar to the USB C communication protocols to allow for fancier charging voltages/currents would allow for flexibility. All decent batteries have charge controllers integrated in the battery, so there really doesn't need to be any objections. When you started talking about cables power connectors, it was like a tradesman's wet dream. (Sorry)
Obviously it would be an irritation during the change over. But many brands are introducing a change over as higher voltage platforms are being introduced. I have resisted personally upgrade to Makita 40v system purely for the hassle of the change over, even though there is a noticeable improvement in performance across the range. I did get my employer to start making the change though, one work crew at a time.
i got to the last minute before realising todays date !
Congratulations 👍🏻
No one is locked into a system. We have the freedom to choose a second or even a third system.
Nearly got me, next thing you will be telling that they are insulating the CPC wire in twin and earth cable
Ah but then what happened, these April fools jokes seem to be a bit prophetic 😂
Gary, you look amazing. Well done. Keep it up!
Guys, your channel videos are consistently lower in volume than pretty much everything else out there. Could you please do an analysis and should you agree could you up the volume? As soon as I start an eFIXX video up goes the volume. Then I go to watch something else (yes, really, there are other videos out there) I forget to turn down and my speakers blare out until I can get to the volume control.
Thanks for the feedback (literally) - which other channels do you tune in to regularly and we’ll have a listen to calibrate.
@@efixx Thanks for replying.
Without listing my entire 100 plus subs (it is great being retired!), here are the main ones: Everything Electric Show, Cutting Edge Engineering, RSymons RSEV, Out of Spec Motoring, Munro Live, Veritasium, Fully Charged Show, Just Have a Think, James Shack, Colin Furze. I think all of these have more volume than your channel. Please bear in mind that I play my sound from my PC via a stereo amplifier and hifi quality speakers. I am a bit of an audiophile in this regard, so most listeners on headphones or with economic speakers probably won't suffer in the same way.
The only thing unrealistic in this video is the 2 years from memo to execution. Give it 8-10 years, and it will be true.
And a raft of legal battles and a veto
Wasn’t until he kept saying skid mark I realised I had been duped
🤣🤣
very entertaining 🤣🤣🤣 How did you keep a straight face, I was in tears when it came to the skid marks.
parkside x-team 20v have a lovely little chip in them to protect 'you'. if you over discharge one somehow then it will no longer send its secret password to the charger.
I've tried everything to reset this and found no way to do it after a lot searching, cant even get a chip datasheet, self expiring batteries, best april fool if it wasnt real
🤔
That would actually be a great thing to have one battery platform across all brands. Yes, from a business point of view it's bad.
A friend shared this today, a month late, and totally got me. :(
Making the Ryobi post batteries standard would be just the way to really upset everyone. Make us all feel like skid marks. And I like my Ryobi set.
Great idea none the less
...
..
.
for 1st of April
Sure is
Thats easily the best announcement I've seen today 🤣
Thanks 👍🏻
Ohh maaan, I was genuinely happy for weeks and today I revisited the video to listen carefully, because I'm researching for new SDS max hammer drill and my spirit was broken
People have been 3d printing adaptors for years now.
If they can force Apple to use USB-C (which sucks) why they can’t force the tool makers to adapt single power source systems.
I was totally buying into this video until you pulled out the Ryobi platform as the basis for the common batteries... :-)
I had to be honest i went sick watching this with using 2 different battery platforms Metabo and DeWalt then i was reading the comments and got to breath again !!!!
VERY WELL PLAYED GUYS
Cheers 👋
Good one guys, but only saw this one after the 1st. It's a real shame it isn't real though but it's all part of brand lock-in to keep you buying just that particular brand's tools.
because I have a number of Ryobi tools and batteries, I really want to believe this is true
I was waiting for your latest April Fool's video and was wondering what crazy great idea you had snuck up your sleeve for this year. 😂
Thanks. We enjoyed this one 🤭
its the 0.5mm T&E that got me the other year
How did ya say “skid mark” at least twice without grinning 🙈😂
🤣🤣
Metabo already do this.
👏🏼
I rushed and brought all the Ryobi I could get!
Likewise 👍🏻
I already have plenty of skids to mark the pile.
As does Gordon 👍🏻
Nearly got me as well.Wish it was real😂😅
Can you please add "4/1" or "April 1st" into the title? People are convinced this is real
I was so happy about this until you said when it was coming into force 😅 right, I'm off to buy a Stanley SDS
Would ceetainly be good to have universal smart batteries.
This got me, great work 😂 👏
I just bash incompatible batteries in with a hammer and all my tools work fine👍
🤣🤣🤣
How do i report a video again on UA-cam
Write to the 🇪🇺
Almost fell for that, was a great start but as soon as ryobi battery's were brought up it fell apart
The ironic thing is that Ryobi & Milwaukee are the same company.
Thank fuck the comments cleared up that this video was from April fools day 😂 f*king ryobi would have killed me off 😢
I was fooled till I saw the comments because when I heard the part where you said Ryobi batteries were gonna be the standard I thought why those batteries. They are unusually shaped and will make all non Ryobi power tools already on the market unnecessarily long and I went to the comments section just to see other people's views only to see comments about April Fools. Even though I am not christian I was not expecting any April Fools in fact I forgot about it I was expecting Easter (I am pretty sire April Fools is not christian but Easter is)
The origin of April fool is unclear - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day
@@efixx thanks for the info
Thanks for the April Fools joke and update for joking about 😂😂😂
👍🏻
It may be a fools day video, but how long until the EU makes this a reality?
If only it was true😢
Yep
You had me to said royobi would be battery of choice 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Wish this was true, I was thinking wow this is fantastic news
But where does the bucket of steam come in?
🤣🤣
very good 😄
it wouldnt surprise me
should have turned off comments, might have fooled a few people if it was not for the muppets in the comments section.
👍🏻
A 'Skid Mark' Position 🤣
In a perfect world
Very good guys, but I think your full of "Skid Marks" 🤣🤣🤣
🤭
If only.
👍🏻
I guess I’ll stick to my badaptors!
👍🏻
shame it's April the first
Sure is
Good job keeping straight faces though this!
It was fun 👍🏻
If only it was all true.
Yep
Very funny! 😂
Always best folks 😂
Thanks 👍🏻
Bad , you have given the EU a idea
🥶
Non issue. Battery adapters for almost all brands on eBay.
Also April fool.
The April fools jokes are hilarious 🎉
Classic Efixx 😂
oh come on! why can't it be a real thing?
So true
April Fools.
One battery standard would be a bad idea as it would kill the developement of the batteries. Here you got few companies who update their trying to make them better than competitor.
i disagree if all the battery tech people all join forces great leaps could be made in no time at all. like the space program and neuclear bombs
Take the cover off - most are Samsung cells and the electronics are all very similar.
Yes it's true so they can use the saved lithium for car batteries 😇 😂
👍🏻
If it ever becomes law im doing a Jan 6th.
Skid marks.....
April fools 🎉
I'm sure the European union, is working on it actually, but you aren't in the European union 🤣
You sure about that?
I was taken in so well that I was seriously thinking how can Rees Mogg screw this up
Not long to go now
Yes but we still tend to follow the regs
April fools oh no
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
👍🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
👍🏻
Happy April fools
🤭
🤣🤣🤣
👍🏻
🤣
Ha ha ha 😂
☺️
Skid mark... Bullshit 😂
Well that was a waste of 8 minutes of my life
Guess you’ve already invested in a full suite of Ryobi.
@@efixx Ryobi was the point at which things stopped making any sense.
😂🤣😂😅🤣
