That's why they invented generators.

My kids both use cordless tools. The "however" is, they both do
A/C work, and don't have access to power most of the time. So, as part
of their work they pretty much have to - hand tools would slow them down
too much. I think it's DeWalt they swear by, all the workers in this
area do. Circular saw, drill, sawzall, the whole package.

However, they both normally use corded tools, or air tools, when
they do anything at home.

As long as I've got access to power, I'll used corded, or air,
tools. Otherwise, I'll use hand tools.

Then by the time you buy a generator for the corded tools, you would have
spent more than buying the cordless
My parents did finally buy a generator last year though, but its a pain to
carry on a John Deere.
