Higher Speed

Corded drills have higher torque and typically operate at more efficient speeds than their cordless counterparts, making them more suitable not only for drilling, but for mixing and buffing jobs as well. In addition, many smaller drill bits require running at higher speeds than the cordless drills can offer.

Ready to go, and go and Go

As long as there is an outlet nearby, corded drills are good to run. However, a cordless drill relies entirely on its battery for power – and if the battery isn’t charged up, it will run out of power. With a corded drill, there is no downtime to charge up the battery, no checking the power gauge, no digging out your charger. Just plug in and, well, off you go.

Ergonomic

There are cordless drill reviews that make the claim on how lightweight their models are – but they do not take into account the weight of the attached battery, which adds significant more weight to the unit. A corded drill eliminates that bulk and is generally lighter in weight. Also, there are many corded drills with softer, larger rubber grips with easy triggering, making the handling much more comfortable.

Economic

If you find that you really don’t need to use your drill every day, or even every month, then corded is your best bet to avoid running into any stored battery issues. Oftentimes when a cordless drill is in storage for a while, the battery will self-destruct or wear out. There are none of those worries with a corded drill – you can keep one stored away for decades and chances are, when you do pull it out of the shed and plug in, it will purr like a kitten.
