Cordless setup?
Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2024 9:37 pm
This is a weird question. Does anyone build with a cordless tool and hand tool setup?
My new garage doesn't have many power outlets, and probably shares one 120V 15 A circuit.
I'm thinking of doing the power tool stuff outdoors, and using hand tools for fine tuning things.
At my friend's workshop (where I donated my tools), I have access to heavier iron (tablesaw/jointer/drill press/router table/small belt sander).
I'm currently using a 18v Bosch drill & driver set, and a Makita 18v planer.
I also have the Bosch 12v flexiclick drill for installing stuff around the house.
I also have a Fein vac and dust deputy.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I was thinking of getting a cordless jigsaw for roughing profiles/templates, and a cordless circular saw for breaking down sheets.
Most of my stuff will probably still be by hand (shaping/carving/voicing).
