My neighbor in Phoenix argued that cordless tools are just a fad for pros
We were talking over the fence yesterday and he said his 20-year-old corded circular saw will outlast any battery one. He pointed at my new cordless drill and called it a 'glorified toy' that will be junk in five years. That hit different because I just spent over $800 switching my main kit to all battery power. Made me wonder if I'm betting on the wrong gear for long jobs. Are cordless tools really built to last for a full career?

Glorified toy" is a bold take from a guy whose saw probably predates the internet. My cordless stuff has survived three house projects, his opinion hasn't survived this conversation.

Read an article where a contractor said cordless tools are fine for most jobs now. The battery life and power have gotten way better in the last few years. Keith's probably just mad his cord keeps getting tangled.

Seriously, @kim_davis is right. I switched to cordless for my deck build last year and never looked back. No more dragging an extension cord around was a game changer lol.
