Most of my tools are cord based, but I have a friend really into the cordless.
Since most of his tools are cordless, it boiled down to "what battery pack style to commit to".
The batteries are where they really kill you on cost. I think he went with Rigid (Home depot house brand), and Ryobi (a couple of tools styles only in that line).
Most of his advice is for building out a cordless tool inventory: look for the promotional package deals, or the "sent to die" shelf at most Home Depot.
have a shelf set up with all the chargers that came with the different tools, keep as many batteries fully charged as possible, so when 1 battery is drained, on to the next.
He has been pretty happy with the cordless tools, works as a handyman. Has a power strip and charger farm in his on-site work van.
They are introducing larger batteries, which typically plug into the same form factor, giving more power and endurance, I think my friend has at least one cordless skill saw.
Cordless batteries have come a long way since I tried one and gave it up as junk, going back to the corded tools I've picked up over the years.
I'm willing to consider the Rigid line, if there is some need for cordless.
