Do any of the cordless tool systems have a way of using them when all your batteries are flat? eg. a "fake" battery that contains an 18v transformer and a long mains cable?

I'm trying to drill a 6mm hole in some remarkably hard limestone. It seems that normal carbide tipped masonry bits will drill perhaps 5mm or so before getting noticeably blunt and slow. Given that these only cost about £2 each, I can live with that, but just wondering what the "Rolls Royce" of...
