vinchenzo_d_gymbag asked:


Do the cordless versions of these tools have enought power to get tough jobs done or should I stick with the corded version. I am not a contractor but i do want the ability to cut nails, and other types of metal

Thanks

Cordless do have the power, and the durability to handle most jobs.

Personally, I have a cordless version (Porter Cable?) that I use because it is convenient.

I also have a corded version, in case I find something the the cordless can’t handle! Haven’t yet though.

I have both and mostly use the cordless. If you get a good name brand like DeWalt, Porter Cable, Craftsman, etc… it will handle what you want. I’m a contractor and put mine through the test so I do know what they will handle.

i would stick with a corded one. if it is not going to be used that much, a cordless will sit around, and every time you go to use it, the battery will be dead. very frustrating. if you have a corded saw, it is always ready to go.

I like forjj’s answer

I would suggest a cordless with a voltage rating over 18 I Switched to craftsman 2 years ago and can say it’s a great tool kit around $200.00

usually cordless versions are a higher RPM, which makes for faster cutting. But you`re still a slave to the charger.
