The problem with battery drills is that the batteries run down and have
to
be expensively replaced. Most DIYers, once a project is done, leave the
drill in the cupboard for maybe years on end.

That's way too much of a sweeping statement.

A mains drill will always
work and has far more torque than a battery drill.

That's generally true.


Once you start doing
any serious amount of work the lack
of hassle of fiddling about with
extension cables and untangling cables
when using a cordless is priceless.

That is project work which is another matter to normal DIY.

But what is "normal DIY". We already covered the point that it's
different things to different people.

Doing a large job, like ripping out the bathroom and replacing all, even
bath, tiles, lights, floor, etc, is a project. Replacing a basin or putting
up shelves is a very different. Light DIY vs heavy DIY. Most fall into the
former.
