I finally swapped my cordless drill for a corded one on commercial jobs

Tbh I fought this for like 4 years. Every commercial fridge line I worked on, my 18V just died mid-screw or the battery sagged in the cold. Then one Tuesday in a Phoenix warehouse, I borrowed the lead tech's corded Makita and finished a 30-screw panel in half the time. I picked up a used one for $75 off Craigslist and honestly it sits in my van now as my go-to for anything with a wall outlet nearby. The cord is annoying to drag but zero battery anxiety makes up for it. Anyone else keep a corded tool around just for the stubborn jobs?

Nothing worse than tripping over my own cord and blaming the drill for it.
