Cordless vs. Electrical Power Tools

Which is better suited for the project at hand, the enduring power of an electrical tool or the portability and convenience of a cordless one? As you have probably guessed, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The right tool for the job depends on the circumstances, the magnitude of the project and personal preference.

Professional contractors and other building professionals tend to have a wide selection of both corded and cordless power tools to efficiently meet the demands of any job. Hobbyists and homeowners typically want to find the right mix of tools to accomplish household tasks efficiently without having to purchase too much equipment. For basic household tasks such as hanging a picture frame, installing a curtain rod or tightening a door hinge, a versatile cordless drill/driver is usually the only tool necessary.

Cordless tools have the obvious benefit of not having to be plugged into an electrical outlet, which allows for portability and convenience. In some circumstances, a cordless tool is a must, such as in new construction where electricity has not yet been connected or when there is no electrical outlet within a reasonable distance. Cordless tools usually provide more than enough power to accomplish everyday household jobs and are often preferred by homeowners looking for convenience. Electrical power tools are generally better suited for larger construction projects requiring longer and more arduous use.

Traditionally, electrical power tools have been touted as more powerful than their cordless counterparts, though continuous innovations in battery technology are making cordless tools more powerful and versatile than ever before. The M12 Milwaukee cordless tool system is a prime example, giving cordless tools more power and a longer runtime than was previously possible. The gap between the power of electrical tools and the convenience of cordless is narrowing as cordless tool technology continues to advance.

What do you think about chinese power tools?

I have just bought a 24 volt cordless drill for 83 usd and it seems to work great.

But I'd like to know why a drill with the same features in another brands like Milwaukee or Dewalt are far more expensive.

I have a drill press from China. The biggest problem was the packaging. A plastic part broke during shipping. I just took it back and got another one. Some parts are made out of a lighter metal and some parts are just as sturdy as anything made anywhere else. I don't use it everyday and it has worked great so far. But back to your question. Most of the reason is labor costs. The workers are paid next to nothing.
This reminds me of Japanese products in the 60's. Same thing...everyone said they were junk and they were to some extent. But look at them now. I think I'll go buy stock in a Chinese company. Maybe I'll get lucky and pick the next Nissan or Toyota. :-)
