Hello,
Since I now need to make about 40 holes in my home for lamps, shelves, etc., my cordless screwdriver is not sufficient.
Unfortunately, it runs out of power after about 1 hour, and it takes me quite a bit of time to drive in each screw.
Are there any cordless screwdrivers that, for example, allow for mains power operation? Or are those impact drivers any good? I would really prefer a tool that can be plugged in, as I basically have access to electricity wherever I’m working.
Looking forward to your advice.

nordanney29 Sep 2015 11:48A cordless drill driver is ideal for building a terrace, for example.
I have screwed in well over 2,000 screws (in IPE and Bongossi) using just a good Makita drill driver. The batteries (although not the newer lithium-ion ones) did not really hold up well, and having a bit more power would have been helpful at times.
For all other tasks, a "regular" good cordless drill driver is perfectly sufficient.

I built a multi-tower climbing frame using the same number of screws, but with two Metabo cordless screwdrivers—one for pre-drilling (with countersink attachment) and one for screwing. I was glad not to have a corded tool, as that would have been much more inconvenient. When building a deck, I could see corded tools being more practical, but I don’t see any advantage, especially if you have spare batteries, since you can work continuously with cordless screwdrivers.

DerBjoern29 Sep 2015 13:16I used a Bosch PSB 500 RE for the carport, wooden terrace, and everything else. It has more power than most cordless drills and always works reliably. You just need to handle the speed control switch carefully. The blue version doesn’t have this drawback.

That must be a massive climbing frame.
With hardwood (especially Bongossi, which was a nightmare), you definitely need power. Sometimes a corded tool is the better choice.
Pre-drilling was tricky because the screws were concealed.
