I use my cordless tools (Ryobi) a lot more than my corded tools. I used the reciprocating saw today to cut some fence top rail. But yesterday I removed our back door and put a new one in. Somebody, probably the previous home owner, made an opening too short, at least for the new door. He also has rabbeted the door jambs and put little 1X pieces in them all around the door. So removal meant ripping through the 1X. I started this with my Ryobi recip but was burning through batteries pretty quick. So I went and got the DeWalt. Longer stroke and no battery issues got it done. For the taller opening, I used my old Milwaukee circular saw at full depth and then the recip to finish. I didn't even start with the little Ryobi circular saw.
Lots of things, like my little fence project today, can be done easier with the cordless. I have no outlet handy where I was working. But big heavy work is better left to corded tools, at least with my tools.
