Before we moved I was going to buy one of those big box set of battery tools.
(I forget which brand) I think it was about $400 and it even had a small chainsaw.
I asked by buddy who is a professional carpenter what’s best, battery or the old cord and plug?
In his opinion since most of the work will be done on or near the house he said to go with the old extension cord. He said with little use even the best batteries won’t last and they are big bucks for replacements.
I do like the easy of using battery tools but I took his advice and I’m glad I did.
Remember I had many plug in tools already and these would duplicate mostly what I had. Outside the battery drill I’m a plug-in-man.
