Esp when contrasted with the inconvenience of having to wait for a battery
to charge *or* recharge while using the device (and, when the battery
ultimately fails is some time when you are USING the device).

Depends on your needs. In a small shop or for bench work a cord is not a big
deal. Atop a ladder 200 feet from the nearest receptacle it sure is handy to
have battery operated tools.

That's why god invented portable gensets!

And, the genset will keep your frozen goods frozen regardless of how many
fully charged batteries you might have on hand!
