/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2007639
They used to
But people companies have spent a lot of time and money in marketing to brainwash people into buying their batteries, they arent going to cannablize those battery sales by selling corded stuff anon.

Pic related, I actually own this and its been to hell and back. Its every bit as functional as my Fuel impact driver

>>2007639
They do, at least makita does.

>>2007642
>greed
should have known.

shit I really want that now, but probably impossible to find

>>2007649
nice but kinda pricey

>>2007651
There's some fuckery going on with 'murican makita prices. Here the small one is ~$100 and the big one is ~$250. Was comparing prices on some of the tools i have and the price in the states shoots up right to the retardosphere.

>>2007651
Impact with a paddle but is a bad plan...

>>2007639
I bought the bare xr DeWalt for $80 and had two little batteries from the 100 sale on the drill. I've used both many times a week since may as I restore the old house we bought. A corded one would not be nearly as handy.

I run up stairs, mount pictures and molding, go the kitchen and take dishwasher apart, patch drywall in the hallway, install anchors near the fire stove, and the move outside to work on the fence. It's really handy.

>>2007654
Not really, I'm in Serbia and I bought this for about 105€ for my workshop and I love it. All professional tools are expensive and Makita has several levels of quality
I would never buy a battery one unless I needed it for working on site somewhere

Funny how tools are more expensive here than in developed western countries but our average monthly wage is 300 euro

>>2007717
> i want to buy a corded tool

Battery jew confirmed.

I got this kobalt from lowes. Its huge. Good for tractor and car

>>2007651
>spade bit
Why do I instinctually feel like this is an awful idea?

>>2008327
>impact driver
But it’s the same thing. The tech in those corded impact wrenches is like 80s or early 90s tech, the current DeWalr corded gun looks exactly like my B&D Industrial gun from before it became a budget brand. All of the good new tech goes into the cordless tools.

>>2008361
>But it’s the same thing.
Exactly, the design worked just fine for 40 years.
>All of the good new tech goes into the cordless tools.
And as far as good tech is concerned, what do you consider good? If i can't fix it when it dies after the warranty period that is not exactly good in my eyes. And if you look inside one of the "good new" tools it's all drowned in epoxy so you can't even take a look to find what's fuckered. Quite an advancement from: it's either the brushed, the switch, the bearings or something simply burned out (cause that is really the failure checklist of a corded brushed tool). The only semi advancement in cordless tools is the brushless motor, and even that comes at the price of questionable duty cycle. Other than that and new cells all the tech in those is from the 80s and 90s really. And the new cells were necessary to stop cordless tools from sucking.

>>2008332
I've run a spade bit on an impact, not very clean but worked just fine for being a hole for water lines.

>>2008434
Same, never had any problems using a spade bit in an impact driver.

>>2008361
>>2008327
That's different, lots of companies make corded versions of those. What we're talking about here is corded versions of impact DRIVERS, like ones with hex chucks that use screwdriver bits, drills, etc.

>>2008399
It’s 2020, the days of having replacement parts for the next 50 years is coming to an end.

If price is more important than performance, ergonomics, weight, portability, and overall usability of the tools, I understand.

And the control board is coated in epoxy. For the average guy, that’s probably much more important than having a tool that fries faster but somebody with lots of electronics experience can replace some SMD on the board. One more component to replace, but you don’t have brushes to get chewed up, so give a little and get a lot. Go Milwaukee with a 5-year warranty and order an entire board for a couple bucks more than just the trigger on a brushed tool if the thing gets shitty after 7 years. Or buy a new one for $99, because that’s a lot cheaper than paying $249 in 1980s money for a single bulky tool.

>>2007639
they last too long

go with what the pros use

>>2007639
>small ones for driving wood screws, not the mechanic impact drivers for tire nuts
Doesn't a regular drill work for driving wood screws? Why do I want an impact driver for screws?
A bigger one for the garage makes sense, stuck nuts and whatnot, but I don't understand why I'd need an impact driver for screws when I already have a drill with screwdriver bits.

I'm not trying to be snarky, I legitimately don't understand the benefit (but will buy an impact driver if I should be using one instead).

>>2008997
They're a nice way to make Philip's bearable, and they have so much torque you can drive you screw all the way through your wood for a party trick.

If you live in canada and have Robertson screws everywhere I could see never needing to touch one.

Some of the current gen impact drivers appear to be the same drive as even the 1/2" drive impacts from the same manufacturer and generate similar torque.

>>2008990
I have never seen one like that IRL without the long anvil.

>>2008997
Because you can drive big screws without the torque going back into your wrist.

>>2007639
>>2007642
because nobody buys corded tools unless the battery version is not strong enough.
abandoning some shitty line that nobody buys except a handful of cheapskates isn't greed, it's called not being retarded

>>2007642
I bought corded Dewalt oscillator multitool about 100 eurinos less than a same model but cordless.
How crazy is that?!

>>2009026
>canada and have Robertson screws everywhere
In Europe all screws used in residential construction are Torx.
Black gypsum board screws are still Philips.

>>2009360
I actually started to enjoy home improvement, building shelves etc when I switched from Philips to torx.
Fuck Philips.

>>2009381
As far as I know IKEA still never uses Torx, they only use Philips, Pozi and Hex.

>>2009316
Is that with or without battery and charger? The XR multitool has been on all the free tool deals, most cordless bare tools aren’t much more expensive if at all than the corded ones, unless they’re a big upgrade.

>>2008805
>If price is more important than performance, ergonomics, weight, portability, and overall usability of the tools, I understand.
I am actually sticking with corded becaue of the performance. I get that an average home gamer does not have the requirements i do, but just because they don't share them doesn't mean those are not valid.
>It’s 2020, the days of having replacement parts for the next 50 years is coming to an end.
Servisability is still a big part in buying tools for professional use. I don't want to lose a day to fix something i need now, i want to be able to deal with an issue with a screwdriver and some profanities within an hour or less. And that is where availability of spare parts/high durability come in. I'm not going around telling people to buy tools i'm using (most hobbyfags would not need those) and just because you have an opinion on a topic does not mean it's in any way a valid approach for somebody else.

>>2008997
>I'm not trying to be snarky, I legitimately don't understand the benefit (but will buy an impact driver if I should be using one instead).
It all depends on what you do. I honestly haven't seen a pro whoever in the last 10 years wasting time on the site with drills for screws. It's impacts all the way down, up and across. Few reasons for this: driving bigger screws into construction lumber (5-6 inch wood screws in a dense pine don't always want to cooperate), you don't have to go all caveman with pressure (impacts will hammer it in even if you don't put all your weight behind it, kinda helps on latters), driving wood screws in actual hardwood (we are talking stuff that will rub off the coating from the screws or make them go PING when you overdo it) and everybody's favorite - that one screw you mangled 9/10 way in and now the bit jumps out (good luck with that without the hammers).

>>2009026
>They're a nice way to make Philip's bearable

>>2007642
This, had a 1960's Black&Decker 3/4" corded impact that was pretty awesome, then had a corded Makita 1/4" hex screw gun.

Both eventually got retired when I could no longer get parts.

>>2009532
But... I thought corded tools were entirely serviceable and cordless tools were disposable? That’s what luddite boomer jew told me on /diy/

>>2009535
Eventually you cannot affordably find things like switches, brushes or bushings.

all tools eventually end up in the scrap pile.

>>2009543
>Eventually you cannot affordably find things like switches, brushes or bushings.
Eventually, still beats your only way of powering them getting "obsoleted" after few years. And the failure point count is way lower.

>>2009546
>failure point count is way lower
Yea, a brand new Lexus has a lot more failure points than a Model T, and you will probably want the 2031 MY Lexus when it comes out as well because it will have all sorts of useful new tech.

>>2009573
>Yea, a brand new Lexus has a lot more failure points than a Model T
LARP.
But since you chose a car analogy, nobody buys a Lexus to haul stuff around, They will get a Ford Transit or something. And guess what, transit is way simpler because that means fewer things to break down.

>>2009579
And a new diesel 2500 is going to do better than the Model A pickup at hauling half a ton of shit to different towns in basically every metric.

>>2009590
You just derailed your own attempt at making a point anon.

>>2008990
1in impact for my 1.25in drywall screws

>>2007639
I’ve got one my uncle bought from Sears in the 80s. Works like brand new still. Impact wrench and blue wrench are two of the most important tools I own.

>>2009500
Yes, with batteries and charger. I see no point to have a lot of tool and one battery.
And you are right, w/o batteries price is almost the same.

>>2009616
What is a Blue Wrench ??

>>2009592
Your corded drill from the 80s is not a 2020 Ford Transit with bluetooth and a backup cam.

You ever been in modern 2500 pickups? They’re almost always fully loaded, the things cost so much already, even for the fleet models, so most people get them with the ass warmers and such.

>>2009612
I did this once. Not 1”, but 1/2”. I also tried a spade bit in the impact and it fucking split the piece of wood along the grain when it hammered.

>>2009875
Yes but you can easily have like 10 tools on a platform with maybe 3 batteries because you’re normally only using one or two tools at a time.

>>2009924
I would guess oxy-acetylene torch

>>2009948

You clearly do not understand the difference between creature comfort extras that have shit all to do with actual dependability and wiring half of your essential systems with electronics that may fail at a whim. You also seem to not be aware corded tools are still made brand new (as in both new in the box and with new tech), which is weird actually. The only reason for that i can find is that your tool knowledge comes only from YT videos for "manly men" and "consoomer" shill sites.

>Yes but you can easily have like 10 tools on a platform with maybe 3 batteries because you’re normally only using one or two tools at a time.
Sure, it's super comfy to juggle your batteries between tools when you need them. But i guess it's ok if all you do is fucking around in your garage.

As i said before, trainwreck of an argument, now also with weekend warrior raibow sprinkles.

>>2009991
>with new tech
Topkek. No, it’s like buying a “New” VW Bug from a few years back when they were still making them, have fun with your vapor lock, a problem that was solved in the 80s but you didn’t want to pay for EFI.

And no, you don’t need to juggle batteries because you’re rarely using the blower, the SDS, the impact wrench, and the circular saw all at the same time.

>>2009995
You are really hung up on all that old stuff, soon i'll start thinking you are overcompensating for something. If you really think things made in 20teens are made the same way as they were in the 80s, well, there is something wrong here. Or did you really think that they kept the same model in production for 40 years? Anyway, i see you are logic proof so i won't even try to explain all the details to you, i'll just recommend you actually have some contact with reality, will do you good.

>>2010005
>did you really think that they kept the same model in production for 40 years
They pretty much did, maybe they cut pennies with cheaper Chinese components over the years and used more plastic instead of metal.

SB&D definitely isn’t building their current corded tools to a higher standard than the cordless stuff.

>>2009546
It's just a housing full of 18650s and a couple power distribution boards. This is DIY. Restore that shit.

>>2010030
You do know that there are electronics in those to prevent just that, right?

>>2010028
>SB&D definitely isn’t building their current corded tools to a higher standard than the cordless stuff.
Bloke Dicker has been a joke for the last 20 years or so.

>>2010180
SB&D is not just Stanley Black & Decker. They aren’t building their old school DeWalt corded drill to a higher standard than their 20V XR stuff.

And batteries die because cells die. No electronics are preventing you from replacing cells if you know how to spot weld or solder them.

>>2010186
>SB&D is not just Stanley Black & Decker. They aren’t building their old school DeWalt corded drill to a higher standard than their 20V XR stuff.
I'm gonna give you a hint, i go teal or dark blue, sometimes orange. SB&DSM and DeWilt really don't come into play as tool choices. So i don't really care what are they doing with thair tool lines. And sure as hell don't see any deterioration in the quality of the cord danglers i buy.

>>2010198
This corporation, that corporation, that name brand isn’t designing a corded tool to last 10,000 hours of use and a cordless tool to last 100 hours. They want most of them to work well through the warranty period, they’re not going to spend $$$ to make them last a lifetime if they can’t sell then to customers for $$$$. They will spend $$$$$$ in R&D to design new cordless tools with better performance and features because they can sell thousands of units at $$$ea. Meawhike they make a batch of plastic fantastic corded drills from time to time because there are alcoholic luddite painters who love Teal and need the cheapest possible Teal spinny thing to mix up paint. There may not be a large demand, but the Chinese plastic is cheap enough and they don’t want to waste all the tooling so they keep making them for people who need the bare minimum teal spinny thing.

>>2010240
>This corporation, that corporation, that name brand isn’t designing a corded tool to last 10,000 hours

Everything is chinese plastic now. Also, you are still butthurt AF. It's kinda pleasant to witness, do continue

>>2010180

>>2009991

What are you doing with power cords? Leaving them all plugged in at once?

>>2010908
>What are you doing with power cords? Leaving them all plugged in at once?
Yeah, pretty much. Why would i unplug a tool i am currently using?

>>2010908
Kek, good point. Anon talks about juggling batteries, so how many 100ft extension cords do you have running to the backyard for all your corded tools?

>>2011088
What, you don't have a 3 phase break out cord? Is this africa or some shit? Or did you think that anyone with at least 3 brain cells would drag a bunch of those silly 1 line cords? And before you start some poorfag whining - 3 phase power is virtually everywhere here.

>>2011093
And anon loses even more mobility....

Meanwhile when the neighbor needs help with his boat, I roll my whole tool cart with cordless impacts into his backyard.

>>2007639
I can still get them just down the road.
https://www.totaltools.com.au/power-tools/corded-tools/impact-drivers

>>2011101
You are really losing track of what it all was about. If i want to do a tiny job somewhere i grab a battery toy to, but that shit does not cut it for my normal work. If you for a moment stop pretending that everybody on the planet has similar needs to you maybe you will understand. Also, if you don't have a big ass high current break out extension cord, get yourself one, great thing to have, altho not exactly cheap. As for mobility, if i need to do anything requiring more than the basic tool bag further than 100m from my workshop it involves the van anyway, so kinda a moot point.

>>2009546
>Eventually, still beats your only way of powering them getting "obsoleted" after few years. And the failure point count is way lower.

Oh no argument. I only own one battery powered drill, and have slowly been replacing the common use power hand tools with pneumatic.
Much more rebuildable.

>>2010908
Corded user here. I have this cord reel with 4 outlets built in, it's pretty handy.

Not going to pretend it's hassle free tough, everyting as its pros and cons. Sure sometimes I'd like to just grab a tool for a quick job around the yard, but for my homeowner needs I prefer the minor inconvenience of extension cords over the added costs and forced brand loyalty of cordless.

Do people really want to manage a 50 ft cord on a ladder?

>>2011148
That depends on what's at the end of that cord, if that's a drill with a 1" auger that has to go through a beam then yes, at least for me. When it's worth it, it's worth it, go figure.

>>2011152
Yes, but people are on here talking about a corded 1/4” impact driver or drill with a plastic 3/8” chuck and no clutch. All of these things, the corded versions are so shitty compared to a mid-range cordless one. Even saws, you can get a lot of cuts from a 3.0Ah battery on a good brushless saw.

>>2011148
Nope, but for the once every 3 years that the situation comes up its manageable.

>>2011186
If you scroll through the thread you will see that is not exactly the case. It all started with OP asking why "nobody makes them" any more, which is false. Just for shits and giggles, if OP wants a corded driver than he can want the damn corded driver, i actually agree with the sentiment, the makita one in the pic is a solid tool which will serve you well if your job is for example screwing together a shitton of elements in your shop (for what we know OP might be a carpenter chugging out 100 etsy shelves a day). Would i go with it on the ladder to whack in 12 screws? If i have a choice, No. Do i understand someone's need/want for the tool? Yes. And that is the point, almost every tool has it's place, and people just dropping in and going full retarded is not helping in actually staying on the topic. Did anybody, anywhere said cordless tools are pointless? No. Do "some" people say corded tools are pointless? All the time. WTF is that even?

>>2011203

>>2011384

>>2011631
PZ is still popular but getting superseded by torx for one simple reason, torx will "stick on the bit" and just works better. Drywall is PH for a less obvious reason, that is the only case when torquing out is desirable, and it works well with drywall limiter cup bits.

Those are impact wrenches, not impact drivers. They have a square drive that interfaces with a socket rather than a 1/4" hex socket that interfaces with a driver bit. They're also bigger, heavier, and may lack control sufficiently fine to effectively drive small screws, which may not offer enough resistance to trigger the impact mechanism. Impact wrenches can draw significant power, and may see extended use in shop environments, so there are abundant corded versions to choose from. Impact drivers use little enough power that modern batteries give very long runtimes such that virtually no one wants to bother with corded versions even in shop work.

>>2011960
That's a screw gun. No impact mechanism at all. It's a "normal" driver that's highly optimized for quickly driving screws. E.g. gearing that delivers the motor's output at the fastest speed for the torque typically required for screws, clutch that reliably stops driving the crews at a desired depth, and many versions can use autoloading screw magazines with a sustained driving rate better than one per second. They're commonly used in drywall installation.

at no point did you mention that the pic had anything to do with your question and your question had no mention of the small impact drivers. like all idiots on this site you post shit together and ASSUME everyone will know what you want.

Why don't they sell mini corded impact drivers? because they are a recent invention and are so much more convenient with NO CORD.

However if you want a corded one, it would not be to difficult to make one. just remove the batteries from one, run a cord in to the battery shell to a 21 volt 30 amp switching power supply voila!

Metabo is trying something like that I think. It still has a battery though, the battery picks up the slack under real high loads. It’s basically a battery charger that you can leave plugged in while using the tool.

>>2013015
Sounds a bit like a gimmick. Seriously tho, IMO the issue with converting a battery tool to corded (as in one not designed to run off anything other than a battery) is that you get no benefit from it whatsoever, no power increase, no reliability increase and on top of that you lose the mobility. It's just a retarded idea. If the one from metabo is designed to use battery as a power boost when the charger doesn't do it that might make sense but i seriously do not see much room on the market for it, since i could use the corded one and grab a cordless one when i don't want to drag the cord.

You didnt read the FIRST post in this thread anon?
I bought this on clearance like 5 years ago, thats even their old color scheme that doesnt exist anymore. You are stupid

You know its bad when even Bepis is correctly shitting on you.

>Would lower the price point a lot.

Not if no one buys them. Cordless is so efficient and handy for what you express wanting the few desperately poor who can't figure out a workaround but want to buy a corded impact aren't a market.

Otherwise just do what I do and chuck a hex adapter into a corded drill to get the same result, with the bonus of being able to use round shank (less expensive) drill bits for pilot holes. I have corded and cordless and no prejudice so I do what works and my corded drill pail (best way to carry multiples for drilling center, pilot then larger holes in the steel I work with) has hex adapters and extensions.

Yeah I’m not sure how well it will sell. Lithium charges so damn fast, as long as you have a 2nd battery, you will be fine.

Pic related. The battery isn’t really a power boost, it’s more like the tools pull so much power that you would need a giant power supply to get full power DC straight from the wall with no battery. So the battery powers the tool, the cord recharges the batteries in the meantime.

Kek. Do a quick Google before calling names. Home Depot and Lowe’s will sell tons of stuff online that ships from other vendors, so if it’s discontinued from their websites, it’s probably been gone for awhile already.

I may be brainwashed but after getting used to simply having two batteries and a charger that charges it before the other runs out, I can't go back to fucking with extension cords for any real work. The air hose is enough of a pain in the ass and now it's not getting tangled.
>fucking dragging an air line and an extension cord while screwing something and nailing something else at the same time.

>>2007689
Um, what?

I use a 1-1/4" all the time with my impact.
Granted its rough construction and not fine wood working, but you wouldn't use either of those things for that anyways.
Thing chews through 2×4's no problem.

Hahahahahaha, this is ridiculous. Stop buying corded tools.

you could try to tamper with the battery enclosure, remove the battery cells, connect a cable to the tinned pads and plug it to a high amp 12v source / sla battery. put a fuse on the line obviously.
12v seems the voltage they mostly run on. (10 x 1.2v nimh cells)

I have one that came with my house. Looks like an off brand of some kind

I love this post.
You bought an expensive, maimed machine, with a battery subscription to keep it long term.
And why did you do that?

Because you are afraid about image, you want to project a certain image. A certain image that advertising departments from tool companies have spent a lot of money sowing in your head.
And you bit hook line and sinker.

Very good goy!

>>2014949
Or because they’re better and more convenient for nearly every job.

You’re the boomer stuck in the 80s talkin to a 2021 Tesla owner like “You bought an electric car? What’s the top speed on that? 50mph? So you can drive 30min and then you’re out of batteries?”

>>2014953
>You’re the boomer stuck in the 80s talkin to a 2021 Tesla

A truly perfect example Bepis.
Say you want to drive to another state, look at the range on standard EVs.
The most economical one the Leaf has a range of 140 miles, takes a full day to charge, and costs $38,000

You want to buy a high end model tesla with an extended battery?
Over 60k
The cheaper Teslas only go 220 miles which is still expensive and still not very far.

They objectively cost more, they have a shorter life span, and they arent as useful.
I couldnt have thought of a more perfect analogy for a battery powered miter saw or table saw.

But hey, you get to buy that cool Tesla and Milwaukee M18 Fuel image you so want to project!

>>2014973
>only go 220 miles
Which is more than enough for 99.9% of people on a daily drive. And if they need to go 1000mi in a day, they can buy a couple extra M18 battery packs, or charge them because lithium will get 80% full in the time it takes you to order some McNuggets

Moving the goalposts and telling people that they can go "buy buy buy more batteries!" isnt helping your cause. Its just reiterating the original point.
We know you would have to buy more batteries, thats literally the problem my guy.
Just like you would have to get a hotel and charge your leaf overnight if you needed to make a 300 mile trip.

You are paying double or triple the price of a corolla, to get less functionality. Period.

And your justification is "well boomer this, old technology that, think about what that guy over there would think about you!"

>>2015031
>less functionality than a Corolla
Fun thing is with cordless drills, the 2nd battery will be charged by the time you kill the first one

>>2015035
Cool, we werent talking about cordless drills though were we
Just like you were talking about "daily driving" and now posting 0-60 times

Weird how you have to move goalposts like that huh?

>>2015039
I took the bait. I shoulda known nobody was so dumb as to defend outdated corded tools this much.

>>2008361
>good new tech
it's a tool that's supposed to turn-punch hard, there's nothing to improve upon.
