Whether you are a homeowner that needs to complete small projects around the house or a professional that needs the right tools for the job, you have likely compared corded power tools vs. cordless power tools. While both types of tools can be used to accomplish a variety of jobs, each option provides a unique set of benefits and potential drawbacks that make them suitable for certain projects and users over others. As a leading provider of hand tools and hardware, the team at Country Lumber knows how important it is to choose the ideal solution for your specific needs. That is why we have provided some information on corded and cordless power tools to help you determine which option is ideal for you.
Learn about some power tools that every homeowner needs.
Corded Power Tools
Corded tools are ideal for jobs that require long hours of labour in both indoor and outdoor settings. In addition to endless run times, corded tools offer enhanced power for difficult jobs, allowing them to use larger attachments and cut through harder materials with ease. This power is further enhanced by consistent output, as battery-powered units may lose a small amount of power as their charge starts to run low. When the job calls for long run times, enhanced power, and unmatched consistency, corded tools are the best choice. The only potential downsides to corded tools are the lack of mobility due to being plugged in and more difficult storage as the cord will occupy additional space in a case or box.
Cordless Power Tools
Cordless tools feature long-lasting rechargeable batteries that can be used with a variety of different units. This allows users to swap between many different types of tools while using the same battery, optimizing convenience and productivity. By eliminating the need for a power cord, cordless tools offer unmatched mobility and eliminate the risk of tripping over the cord. In addition to mobility and utility, every tool is designed with ergonomic handles that provide a better grip and enhanced comfort. This reduces operator strain by offering the most natural wrist position during use. When you need mobility, utility, and comfort, but are not worried about consistent power or heavy-duty performance, cordless tools are the ideal choice.
Which Option is Right for You?
In most cases, cordless tools are the ideal choice for homeowners that need to tackle small projects or professionals that constantly work outdoors without access to an outlet. If you will be performing most of your work in an indoor setting, a corded solution may be the best choice for the job.
