Corded v cordless power tools

Corded and cordless tools both have their own pros and cons. Choosing will come down to your budget, what jobs you’ll be doing, how often you’ll use them and where you will be working. It’s certainly true that there’s an increasingly high volume of cordless tools entering the market, thanks to the improvement of battery technology over the last decade. This has allowed many cordless tools to offer the kind of power you would expect from its corded equivalent.

Cordless Tools

The luxury of not being tethered to a power source while you work is not to be underrated. Versatile tools, like combi drills, are frequently used around the job site and in the home and make perfect cordless tools. Impact wrenches and drill drivers are also great cordless tools that offer flexibility and portability while you work.

Benefits of Cordless Power Tools:

Safer
More portable
Get into tight or awkward spaces without trailing cables to worry about
Work far away from a power source
Removes the risk of cutting through a lead
Easy to store
If using tools from the same range, the same battery can be used across multiple tools

Drawbacks of Cordless Power Tools:

Can be slightly more expensive, although prices continue to drop
Batteries need charging, although keeping a spare to hand means you can use one while the other charges

Corded Tools

The biggest advantage of corded power tools is the continuous high power and torque they can deliver. When you’re cutting through heavy-duty materials, corded tools like circular saws, jigsaws and reciprocating saws benefit from the consistent power offered by a plug socket.

Benefits of Corded Power Tools:

Consistent high-power output
No worry about the battery running out
Cheaper

Drawbacks of Corded Power Tools:

You need access to an immediate power supply
You are limited by the length of the power cable
Power cables can create a tripping hazard
Cables could be accidentally sliced by the tool in use
Difficult to store
Requires more stringent safety measures to operate correctly

Cordless tools do seem to be preferred in the trade thanks to the advantage of not having a power cable to worry about, but they aren’t for everyone. You’ll need to make your own decision depending on the application, how flexible you want to be and what your budget is.
