That is where Li-Ion wins - it does not auto discharge quickly like

Corded is even better from that point of view. For *very* occasional
use, the added hassle of having to use an extension lead is far less
than the hassle of having to charge it before use or, worse still,
having to throw it away because the battery is knackered.

I find that the extra versatility of a cordless tool wins over corded
even for occasional use. Corded tools tend to have less good control and
low speed torque, and are not as good for screwdriving IME.

I have a couple of "ordinary" corded drills - can't recall when I used
either of them last. (I use the mains SDS and Core drill though)
