Default Makita Track Saw: Tail or no tail?

My first inclination is, except for a drill driver, to use corded
tools because I like having good power all the time. But maybe for
this tool I should re-think that. I'm going to use it for now to cut
OSB for a flooring project and then later I expect to break down
plywood sheets. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks!


I bought the Makita cordless track saw a few months ago and it's
incredible.
I would never go back to corded.
The DC brush-less motors are so efficient and smooth.
Corded AC saws always feel like you're a second from losing control.
All that torque on startup and the feeling a huge amount of power in
your hand.

The DC brush-less motors are totally opposite. Very smooth on start-up
and when running. They feel like they are hardly working but still cut
very fast.

I actually bought another cordless Makita circular saw for regular
framing type cutting.
The 5ah batteries last a really long time and charging is fast.
I will never go back to corded.
