Has anyone tried both the Craftsman CMCD710C2 and a corded drill? I'm trying to decide which one would be better for my needs.
CMCD710C2 vs. Corded Drills - Performance Comparison?

Yes, I've used both. The cordless is great for when you need to move around a lot or work in areas without power outlets. But the corded drill has continuous power. Both are good in their own ways.
I have experience with both and can give some insight. In my case, I prefer the CMCD710C2 cordless drill because of its mobility and versatility. The Overview of the Craftsman CMCD710C2 Drill provides a detailed comparison. You might find it helpful to make your decision.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @PicardToBridge. What about the power? Is the cordless comparable to the corded one?
I have used both as well. In my opinion, the cordless drill is more convenient when working in tight spaces or outdoors. The corded drill is powerful but can be a hassle to deal with the cord.
@PicardToBridge and @RambooPanda, you both make good points about the convenience of the cordless drill. But what about the weight? I'm worried it might get tiring holding a heavier drill for long periods.
That's true, but sometimes power is more important than portability. If you're working on heavy-duty tasks, the corded drill may be a better choice. It's heavier, but it provides consistent power throughout the work session.
@SpinningGale, it really depends on your specific needs. The CMCD710C2 is lighter and easier to maneuver, which can make a difference in comfort during long projects. If mobility is a priority for you, the cordless drill might be the way to go. Otherwise, if power is more important, a corded drill could be better.
Thanks for all the input! I'll have to think about my priorities and decide which one suits me best. It's great to see the pros and cons of both options discussed in this thread.
