and those others as basically cordless screwdrivers that you can also do light drilling with.
Yeah, usually the cordless drill is all about ease of use and something you want to be able to holster in a tool belt if need be. For more strenuous tasks or repetitive ones that may strain the battery, its best to be corded if possible. I couldn't imagine having that Makita hanging off my waist
