Choosing Between Cordless Systems

DeWALT, Makita, and Bosch all offer excellent cordless systems. Consider:

Battery Platform: Choose one main system and build your tool collection around it. Mixing brands means multiple battery types and chargers.

Tool Range: All three brands offer comprehensive ranges, but specific tools vary. Check which brand offers the specific tools you need.

Existing Investment: If you already own tools from one brand, staying within that system makes practical sense.

Budget: Prices vary between brands and within ranges. Compare equivalent models across brands.

Choose Corded When:

• Maximum sustained power is required
• Tools will be used extensively without breaks
• Working with large diameter drill bits or blades
• Budget is limited (corded tools typically cost less)
