Does anyone value corded power tools anymore

The first should be a 3/8" battery powered drill. This will cover 90%+ of your usage, especially if you buy a 1/64"-1/2" set of bits with the larger one turned down to 3/8".

Your second drill needs to be a 1/2" TRIPLE gear reduction, corded (because I have never seen a triple gear reduction battery powered) drill. This is the kind that will "break your wrist" if you don't have a good grip on the assist handle. DeWalt still makes one and so does Milwaukee (with a D-handle). Hopefully you can find one with a hammer drill option. These are NOT the "hole-hog" style, but they have close to the same torque.

Milwaukee -1

My old Craftsman Commercial corded, reciprocating saw will cut all day compared to my son's DeWalt NiMh brushed reciprocating saw. I have to assume the newer Li battery, brushless saw have more "staying power".

If you find even your top name brand power tools lacking, go cordless, but you had better know what you are shopping for !

If you don't know which you need you'd prob be fine with cordless. But if you may do something besides basic stuff get the corded and deal with the cord hassle. Corded will have rpm, torque + run time, none of which is gaurenteed with the cordless. With drills you know when you need to get a better one

My house i had the normal ryobis, was doing a dock roof, and it had rpm to start the metal roof screws but wouldn't screw em down into the steel. Got an 18v rigid (which has been pretty good set) it had enough torque.

For corded used a hitachi 50 dollar one for years that was getting long in the tooth (sleeved chuck, bearings a bit loose). recently had to drill in sch 80 steel pipes, dock pilings, bunch of lumber, etc....wouldn't even think of using cordless. Went and got a makita 3/4 hammer drill with solid chuck ( concrete block house i use hammer features more than anything) and was glad i did.

I'd say with the cordless if you use it a lot 2-3 years they get weak, but you can stretch it out for picture hanging,etc for 5 but i've never had them have much run time after 2-3 but the newer ones are li-ion.

Also keep in mind the kits i've never used the saws that come with them. So you're basically paying 250+ for a drill and flashlight. Next time i'll avoid the kits, flash lights are cheap.
