The cable typically used on DC tools is a high flexibility rubber

4m of the latter will weigh about a kilo? That's not a lot, but it might
be noticeable spraying the ceiling for a long time?

You can always clip the cable to your belt, so you are only "carrying"
half the length of the bit from belt to tool. Also you will have lost
the weight of the LiIon battery, so should not be significantly worse
off than before.

The cable on my sander is about 4m long, and while its fairly heavy, you
don't really notice it because of its great flexibility and because the
machine itself feels quite "dense" in the hand even if in absolute terms
its very small and light.
