Exactly.
Buy the tool to meet 90% of your needs and use a hand tool with 4' breaker bar for those rare, over-torqued bolts that come along twice a year. No reason to drag around a D9 Dozer every day when a Bobcat loader will do nearly all normal daily jobs. If you run in 5/8 lag bolts often, you need a bigger tool than the guy who mostly runs in deck screws and changes tires on his Porsche. I prefer corded drills for the heavy stuff and cordless where agility and portability is king.
Different tools for different jobs.
