Looking to get started building shelves, furniture, etc around my house as a hobby and to gain the skill of woodworking as I think I'd have a knack for it and enjoy it.
Would you buy woodworking tools with a cord or cordless if you had the choice?
Home Depot has a fairly large set of Rigid tools that are cordless on sale, however, there are corded counterparts that would probably work just as well (minus the occasional cord in the way) that would be a lot cheaper.
I'd be concerned with having to replace batteries or spend a lot of money on tools in general as my goal is to supply my house with furniture and give myself a way to build things out of wood in the future. Corded tools would be good for longer, whereas the cordless models might become outdated.
I guess some tools would just come in handy to be cordless, and some could be corded and not be as much of a hassle?
What do you guys think? Recommended brands and models? Are most tools going "cordless"? I don't see as many corded models listed to be in stock at my local Home Depot.
