Everyone should have a corded drill as their primary/backup

Perhaps. Mine has not been touched since I got a cordless about 5 years ago.


And don't start the "they should have a second battery ready in the
charger
all the time" argument.
As no one ever does. LOL

I have two ready to go.


If you can plug in a charger, you can plug in a drill.

Right, but the charger will charge a battery a few feet from the receptical
while the battery powered drill can be taken hundeds, thousands, of feet
away and still work, no extgensio cord needed. Damned handy to have
cordless up on the roof.



And to be honest, a REAL SCREWDRIVER works great too, a bit slower, but
NEVER has to be recharged or plugged in g

True, but putting in those 2 1/2" screws up on the second floor for shutters
was much faster using a powered tool.

People used to ride horses and cut firewood with hand saws too, but few will
today. But don't let me stop you from enjoying old technology.
