The Power Tool Debate – Corded Or Cordless
In today’s modern world the durability, strength and general quality of cordless and corded power tools has increased significantly. Cordless equipment is obviously a growing trend as battery and motor technologies are constantly evolving.
Despite the new technology corded tools have hardly been left on the shelf, new advancements in corded equipment have turned what used to be clumsy tools into light weight precision tools. At the end of the day cordless power tools still offer far greater power and performance and generally speaking have a much longer life span.
Obviously cordless equipment can never be written off as what it lacks in power and performance, it makes up for in far superior mobility and nimbleness. Trying to decide which type of tool is right for your situation and a few general factors needs to be considered before committing.
There are some really basic things you need to consider before deciding on what kind of tool is going to suit your needs, for example how are the tools going to be used? Who will be using them and probably most importantly what materials are they going to be used on? If you simply want something to use every now and again get a cordless tool and make sure it’s well recharged, however if you’re facing something a little more challenging corded would be a viable option.
Cordless tools do come with many advantages, especially no battery technology is becoming more advanced and sustained performance is more achievable. One of the main advantages is being able to carry your tools anywhere with you, regardless of power points, some jobs won’t have a power point available and therefore cordless tools are a must have. However there is another clear advantage to the cordless range that is becoming ever more prevalent and that is health and safety, no cords lying around means no accidents, this is something that cannot be over looked.
OK, we have looked at the clear advantage of cordless tools, however corded tools remain best sellers, especially in the trade industry where power and performance are paramount. No matter how good a battery is it will never be as good as a constant supply, also working cordlessly tends to be a little heavier both on the muscles and the wallet with battery replacements being anything but insignificant. Corded tools mean less messing around which ultimately means projects will be finished faster and on time.
At the end of the day cordless tools are a great option for those ’round the house’ jobs or for workers who are very often away from a consistent power supply. However if your job is more labour intensive and you are working with heavy duty materials then a corded option will most likely be best. Each set of tools have clear benefits, just be sure about what you are going to use it for and pick the best fit.
