Switching to a cordless drill can be beneficial, but it needs good battery life. Consumer Reports claims this Harbor Freight cordless drill takes the crown.
Compared to their wired counterparts, cordless drills make your home improvement projects a lot easier. You can use it anywhere without having to worry about your distance from an outlet. You won’t even need to bring and set up an extension cord — just grab your tool and battery and go on your merry way. Plus, no cables mean a safer and less cluttered workspace.
The one big tradeoff of cordless drills, though, is that you’ll be conscious about its runtime. Nothing is more frustrating than the tool dying on you in the middle of a job. It’s especially inconvenient when you’re up in a ladder — say, drilling holes for a curtain rod or mounting shelves — and have no spare batteries with you.
