Cordless vs. Corded Power Tools: Which is Right for You?

Benefits of Corded Tools

With competitive price and timely delivery, MrPowertools sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

One of the main advantages of corded tools is their continuous power supply. As long as there is access to an electrical outlet, these tools can operate indefinitely without the need to recharge batteries.

Generally, corded tools offer more power and torque compared to their cordless counterparts. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as cutting, grinding, and drilling through tough materials.

Corded tools are often more affordable than cordless versions. Additionally, there is no need to purchase extra batteries or chargers, which can save money in the long run.

Downsides of Corded Tools

The primary drawback of corded tools is the restriction caused by the power cord. This can limit movement and make it challenging to work in areas without nearby power sources.

Managing and avoiding tripping over power cords can be cumbersome, especially in a cluttered work environment.

When to Choose Corded Tools

Corded tools are ideal for tasks that require sustained power and torque. They are best suited for:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Tasks such as cutting through thick materials or prolonged drilling sessions.
• Workshops and Fixed Locations: Environments where mobility is not a primary concern and access to power outlets is readily available.
• Budget-Conscious Buyers: Those looking for cost-effective solutions without compromising on power.

I note that your cordless Hilti system is off limits to your apprentices, & if I'm on track, it's because the lads may not respect those quality (expensive) tools.

Unfortunately, many now are brought up with the false economy that when they buy cheap & it breaks, simply go out & get another one. I don't subscribe to that throwaway theory at all, tools are to assist us, but it doesn't give us the right to abuse/trash them. That goes for corded & cardless.

On topic, corded tools are best if you have a ready supply, or a generator.

Given the choice on a heavy duty job with power available, no matter what they tell you, cordless loses out.

Then there's the quandary of spec/brochure wars when talking quality v temporary tools.

A cheap tool may be rated at W, but be less powerful than an W quality tool, but why is it so?

It draws w of power from the mains, but it's not efficient.

A well made electrical motor has a small distance (air gap) between the rotor (rotating part) & the stator (outer stationary part) which improves the essential magnetic coupling between the two. The windings will be wound more tidily & tighter, which allows both the rotor & stator to be more compact, & lighter. The motors have long lasting bearings (needle or roller), instead of bushings (an oil impregnated metal sleeve) which deteriorate with use.

Guys, unwind a cord like your wives have had to until recently when vacuuming, & stop your whinging. ; )
