Cordless power tools are growing in popularity these days because of ease of use. This doesn\u2019t mean you should throw your corded drill out, there are always reasons to hold onto the forgotten old piece of equipment buried at the bottom of the toolbox. Here are 5 reasons why.<\/p>\n

1) High Top Speeds<\/span><\/h2>\n

Corded drills have higher top rotational speeds than their cordless counterparts, this makes them perfectly suited for heavier applications. They can also be used as non-drilling accessories for metal buffing wheels and paint stripping. Plus smaller bits require higher rotation speeds for effective results. The higher top speeds of corded drills should come as no surprise, corded drills rely on their batteries which can never match the raw power of an electrical outlet.<\/p>\n

2) Corded Drills Won\u2019t Stop Functioning Unless the User Wants<\/span><\/h2>\n

The power grid won\u2019t run out of power (unless someone forgets to pay the bills that are), but your cordless drill battery might run dry. Users of cordless drills will always have to face with the possibility of their unit coming to a stop right in the middle of a job, and nothing can be more frustrating than to run out of power when you\u2019re close to finishing the job.<\/p>\n

While corded drill users are always limited by the range of the wire, it doesn\u2019t detract from the experience too much if you plan the work from the get-go.<\/p>\n

3) More Ergonomic<\/span><\/h2>\n

While cordless drills are a more lightweight and compact version of corded drills, they can become more uncomfortable when heavier used for heavier applications because the user will end taking longer to finish the job than if they had used corded drills. On the other hand, the heavier weight of a corded drill limits long term use because the tool\u2019s weight will eventually cause fatigue.<\/p>\n

4) More Reliable<\/span><\/h2>\n

Professionals and enthusiast DIYers don\u2019t use cordless drills regularly because the tools run into problems with the battery. Plus the battery\u2019s capacity will dwindle in the long term, requiring you to either get a new pack of batteries or replace the drill, which can be expensive.<\/p>\n

This is fairly common because the manufacturer will have moved on to a different form factor and will discontinue servicing older cordless drill models entirely.\u00a0 While your old corded drill which is probably collecting dust under the auxiliary toolbox, it will still get the job done.<\/p>\n

5) Cheaper<\/span><\/h2>\n

Corded drills are cheaper to buy off the shelf than their cordless equivalents. This means you will never have to break the bank when buying one for your DIY project. The only downside is that the corded drills take a lot of storage space and may cause your garage to become crowded. You can\u2019t use your corded drill outside without using extension wires, but you can get around to this by using cordless drills.\u00a0\"Garage101\"<\/a><\/p>\n
