Having a constuction background, I've had lots of corded and cordless stuff.

For production work, as in you're earning a living 40-50 hours a week, get the cords out.

But I bought a DeWalt case with a bunch of cordless stuff at an auction, just because it was a good deal. Gotta say, that's the way to go. I've flipped a few fixer-upper homes, and bringing that one big box with me holds everything I need for "fixer" type work, and would sure be more than adequate for a homeowner.

Mine is all 18v DeWalt. Skilsaw, screwdriver/drill, jig saw, sawzall, trouble light, charger, bit boxes, and a couple batteries, all in one carrying case.

Hard to believe I was even debating about it. Couldn't live without it now.

DeWalt has been good for me. Milwaukee and Rigid make good stuff, just stay away from "consumer" quality, and get what the pros use. It will last forever for homeowner use.
