Re: Corded vs Cordless Power Tools

I personally prefer corded tools, but for the team, we went cordless for most of our hand-held tools, because we often need to use them away from the shop (and that will get worse this year as we may lose the space where we ran most of our corded power tools.). If you do cordless, pick one brand & voltage, and buy/use it consistently. We were not satisfied with Ryobi (does not stand up to student [ab]use), but we get good performance from our DeWalt 20V tools.

If you go cordless, assign a "tool battery czar", just as you probably have a "robot battery czar". They may or may not be the same person, but the job is nearly as critical.
