Cordless drills are becoming more and more popular. They deliver the same functionality as a traditional drill but with an important advantage: they are cordless. So, if there is no outlet nearby, you can continue to drill holes or drill in screws to your heart’s content.

What if you’re building a house that doesn’t yet have an electricity hook-up – a logistical nightmare ensues.
