I do industrial electrical work and I will take a corded tool over a battery tool any day .The other day I wanted to cut a old lead cable out of a pit . We had 2 saws and 4 dead batteries between them.When we need a battery drill we will takea drill both batteries and a charger. We also have a Burndy dieless crimper and cable cutter one is 14 volt the other is 18 voltwe take both batteries and chargers when we use them. Also we take a generator just tom charge the batteries.
