Corded vs Cordless Core Drills
Quick decision: Corded favors continuous duty and larger stand capacity in the value catalog, cordless favors jobsites without convenient mains power within documented battery capacity.
| Factor | Corded | Cordless |
|---|---|---|
| Power continuity | Mains limited by circuit | Battery runtime / platform |
| Typical catalog capacity | Often higher stand ceilings in value set | Documented class (e.g. MXF301 6") |
| Jobsite flexibility | Needs power access | Strong where power is inconvenient |
| Platform cost | Usually tool-focused | Batteries/chargers separate |
