Link to the Ebay seller is included in the description. The adapter does work on some Hercules tools just not some of the newer tools it seems. See description for tools known to work and not work so far. *Update: The seller sent me a revised adapter with a toggle switch (not for sale yet in May-2024 to test) that would hopefully work with the bandsaw (to mimic the signal for newer tools while still working with older tools with the toggle switch). I tested the adapter in old and new mode on a brushless bandsaw, 1/4" impact, compact recip saw, and orbital sander. None of the tools would work in "new" mode. All the tools would work in "old" mode except the bandsaw. I will post an update video once the adapter works with all my tools.
I see that on this sellers ebay page it says this adapter is not intended for use on "angle grinder or bandsaw." By any chance have you tried it on any other Hercules tool to see if the issue really is limited only to the bandsaw and grinder tools?
Purchased the same adapter to use on Hercules 20v polisher, having the same issues. Hoping in can find a workaround as I already have 25+ dewalt batteries and the Hercules brand is so close as far as battery connection and at a fraction of the price.
I bought same adapter for the impact wrench ½" I've gotten it to work for like a minute after fully charging, but never again sadly. Have you or anyone found a solution?
It appears the adapter is using a PIC to simulate the signal that the battery is meant to send to the tool. Can you please take some high res pics of the board, as I'm trying to see if its both pins that need a specific signal, or if one is just an NTC. Thanks!

Good video…I almost bought one of those adapters.
I just ordered the adapter and hopefully it will work with the Hercules vacuum.
Did it work?
Did it work??? Thinking to pick up that same vacuum

I have the same flashing light problem with my Hercules battery on my Hercules tool. Assumed it is the temp senser.

I had the same problem with adapter for milwaukee bandsaw and dewalt battery it seems they only works for impacts and drills 😢
I bought the same adapter. Lets hope it works with the greese gun
maybe not enough connections on the adapter from the dewalt end
I bought one on ebay that works with the new high torque impact, so far at least.
You have the link?
