i would suggest a good cordless (rechargeable) drill,

If you only want one dirll, let it be corded.
The cordless drill is
1. more expensive.
2. bulkier, heavier.
3. less powerful.
4. Battery will die in a few years, the replacement will cost more
than the drill then.
5. The battery is not charged when you want to use it.
6. The battery will run of juice just 2 drills away from finishing
your job.

Disagree. For most small jobs in an apartment, cordless is more convenient.

"Convenient" in WHAT way?! I'd say that if she owns 5+ acres that
cordless might be the way to go for a first purchase.

Buy a 50' extension cord and use corded tools ANYwhere in a
building--Karen (cherubhollyhock?! Love yer nym, sweety) is right on
with her 6 points.

(now I'd agree that a cordless flashlight IS convenient) :-)
