I still prefer having a corded model available. For drills, I have
both, because there are plenty of circumstances where a cordless

the Dremel, but I only ever used it at the workbench, so not for my
use cases. I probably should have led with that.

A couple of years ago I was working with ipe, aka ironwood, and needed to
predrill holes for the fasteners. This killed my cordless DeWalt's
batteries faster than I could charge them. So I bought a corded drill for
that, and continued to use the cordless to seat the fasteners (square
drive). Much better. (PS: I went through a lot of drill bits, too. I
think the frictional heating made them brittle.) -- Ian
