If you're looking to buy a new power tool such as a drill or saw, there's one big decision to factor in. Corded or cordless. There are benefits and disadvantages of both options. Here's a few things to consider before you hit the hardware store.
The first option that most people consider is cordless. There are a lot of immediate benefits to having a cordless power tool. The most obvious is that you don't have to mess around with a cord. Depending on where you are working in your house, it can be difficult to find an empty plug to use. With a cordless model you have the freedom to move around. This is fantastic if you are doing several home improvement jobs at the same time. You can work inside and outside without having to constantly plug and unplug your tool.
Drills Cordless
There are also several disadvantages to cordless tools. The biggest is charging the battery. It takes several hours to recharge a cordless battery pack. Unless you plan ahead, this can put a wrinkle in you home fix it plans. Also, battery packs tend to lose capacity over time and eventually won't hold a decent charge. You'll need to factor in the price of replacement battery packs when making your buying decision.
Moving on to corded tools, the biggest advantage is not having to mess around with battery packs. Just plug it in and you've got full power immediately. Another nice thing is that corded power tools are usually cheaper than similar cordless models. Unless you are planning on doing projects outside far away from power outlets, a corded model may be all you need to get the job done.
