Corded Vs Cordless

For all the debaters out there, check this article out.

I'm an anomaly. I still prefer pneumatic, however my most used tool hands down is the battery powered Dewalt drill. When drilling through my frame, it had enough balls to break one of my bits (also Dewalt) but I also resorted to an old corded Sears drill to finish the job.

 

Cordless for high torque needs. My electric cordless 1/2" impact far outperforms my pneumatic impact. And is way more convenient. Corded for endurance tasks or fine finished tasks. My battery operated saws are handy for awkward, remote, cut in place tasks, but wander a bit when trying to do finer work. My nailers are all still pneumatic, and they work great, but what a pain lugging my portable compressor around the house. I'm interested in the battery operated electric ones.

 

My love for cordless tools ends in divorce when the batteries wear out. I'm still using the air compressor I bought new from Sears in 1975. A few new parts here and there but affordable maintenance.

 

I've got a covey of 2amp through 4amp batteries for my cordless arsenal and 4 chargers ready to juice 'em back up.

 

I HATE when the battery starts dying. Then God forbid you try to buy a cheaper knock off because they don't work. I've returned several sets because they wouldn't jive with my Dewalt leaf blower.

 

Well I'd have certainly received it faster had I just gone out and bought a new one, but Dewalt made good on their warranty and sent me a brand new bit for my set.
