cordless

The term cordless is generally used to refer to electrical or electronic devices that are powered by a battery or battery pack and can operate without a power cord or cable attached to an electrical outlet to provide mains power, allowing greater mobility.
The term "cordless" should not be confused with the term "wireless", although it often is in common usage, possibly because some cordless devices (e.g., cordless telephones) are also wireless. The term "wireless" generally refers to devices that use some form of energy (e.g., radio waves, infrared, ultrasonic, etc.) to transfer information or commands over a distance without the use of communication wires, regardless of whether the device gets its power from a power cord or a battery. The term "portable" is an even more general term and, when referring to electrical and electronic devices, usually means devices which are totally self-contained (e.g., have built-in power supplies, have no base unit, etc.) and which may also use wireless technology.

    What's the best cordless angle grinder

    I've had a Makita lot 18 v lion 3.0 bga452z for only 9 months and it's packed up. i know it gets a lot of use on porcelain and 20mm stone but a bit surprised. is there a more heavy duty / robust one of any model that you could suggest.

    Makita cordless

    My 5yr old Makita 18v cordless drill chuck seized up last week. I love Makita so I'm sticking with it but undecided whether I should bite the bullet and get a new bhp458 lithium or stick with the ni-cd setup and just buy a new body. Any thoughts?
