Learn more about the advantages of both power tool types.
Among the choices power tool importers have to make is to source more corded tools or more cordless tools. Which is better? The answer is simple, both have pros and cons buyers are keeping in mind, according to ToolsTurf.
As regards pros, corded power tools work longer. They don't have to rely on a rechargeable battery. As long as they're plugged into a power supply, they're good to go. These tools are also said to be more consistent. They are effective all the time. Power is at the same level while plugged in. Corded power tools are also said to handle bigger repair or construction jobs. They come in large capacities to match more powerful sockets.
In the case of cordless tools, one advantage is portability. No need to be restricted by wires if a hard-to-reach area or place far from power sockets needs repair. Cordless means also space-saving. Wires take up a lot of workstation space and can be tangled, making organizing difficult. These tools are also said to weigh lighter than corded tools. Wires add weight.
For the cons, corded power tools aren't portable, cannot be brought far from the socket and can make the user trip while cordless power tools only last till the battery lasts, have lower capacity and delay the repair when charging.
Given these, it depends on the target market which power tools an importer should stock up on. If it's the professional construction industry that needs speed, for instance, then maybe a consistent and always-on tool is required. If for the DIY market where repairs are often small projects, then it's the cordless tools that are popular.
