Innovations across the power tool industry have improved the durability, strength and maneuverability of both corded and cordless power tools. Cordless equipment, it seems, is becoming vastly more popular as battery and motor technologies continue to improve. New developments like Lithium-Ion battery technology has upped the ante for battery powered tools, but other innovations have certainly not left corded power tools in the dust. New advancements in corded power equipment designs have made corded tools, once cumbersome and lumbering, lighter weight and far easier to handle. Corded power tools still offer unrivaled power and performance, and generally have a longer life-span; when picking a tool, however, it is still not an easy choice as cordless equipment offers compact ergonomics and superior mobility.
It's important to consider a few things before deciding which tool best suits you and your needs. The type of job and intensity of applications, the materials you intend to manipulate, and how often you will use your power tools are all factors in choosing between cordless and corded.
Cordless Power Tool
"So, what are the benefits of cordless tools?" you ask. Well, I'll tell you. Cordless power tools allow craftsmen to take their equipment to the job rather than bringing work back to their tools; bringing work back to the shop or a stable power source can be a frustrating chore if not wholly impossible. Battery powered tools offer superior convenience and portability, and with greater advancements in battery technology and tool design, cordless equipment now has more power, less weight, and a longer run-time than ever before. Another striking benefit of using cordless power tools is, well, they're cordless! Lugging and dragging around heavy cords can not only be a hassle but a hazard as well. For this reason, battery powered equipment also tends to be easier to store and transport. Cordless tools are ideal for home use and for use in high-traffic areas where cords can present a bigger safety hazard. Additionally, these cord-free tools are absolutely essential when working in unfinished constructions where, perhaps, there is no electrical power source available. However, it's not all sunshine while working cordless, although their convenience is unmatched, they can't offer the constant high power that corded tools can. Battery powered equipment are less powerful to begin with and most (excluding those using Lithium-Ion batteries) lose power continuously as you work. Unlike corded, cordless power tools have a limited power source and rely on a fully charged battery to run efficiently. Working cordless also tends to be a bit heavier, and batteries can be expensive to replace.
Intrigued, you now ask, "Ah, so what then are the advantages of using corded tools?" Well, let me tell you. Working corded offers significantly more power and a constant, non-dwindling power source for continuous run-time. Corded tools offer a wider variety for more diverse applications and deliver the highest-performance for the most heavy-duty jobs. Corded equipment allows users to perform without stops ensuring projects are completed without the hassle of changing and charging batteries. Because of their superior power and nonstop performance, working corded is ideal for heavier construction jobs. They also tend to be less expensive - and you'll never have to replace a pricey battery either. Cordless tools are a stronger, more durable tool and are essential where jobs require constant and superior power. Corded equipment provides unmatched power and deliver the most professional results to even the heaviest, heartiest, beefiest applications. On the other hand, while corded power tools don't require battery replacements, they do have that lumbering cord; that heavy, fraying cord requires replacement as often as a battery does. While cords are generally less expensive to replace, they are much more frustrating and time consuming. Power cords present more problems than simply fraying or failing altogether - cords are dangerous; they present a serious electrical hazard, and are fairly easy to trip over. Corded equipment also has limited mobility, and as its generally recommended to avoid using extension cords (which present an additional safety hazard) corded tools shouldn't go too far from the power source they're drawing from.
When choosing a tool, it is crucial to consider the capacities of of both corded and cordless types. Each offers different advantages to suit different demands and applications. Know the type of jobs you expect to perform, the type of materials you'll be working with, and consider how often you'll be firing up your tools - knowing these three things should help you choose precisely which tool, corded or cordless, will be your best companion on the job.
