Kraig - I thought Art wound up his cord in his snow blower.
Had to laugh, WE had contractors working on our house for about 2 months this past fall. I had a heavy 50 ft extension cord coiled up on the garage floor mostly to plug the car in on cold nights, or run a battery charger. And this fall it ran drills, circular saws, and especially battery chargers for other cordless power tools.
I will say one thing, I definitely own the wrong brand of cordless tools! I think I have at least one of every 19.2V Craftsman cordless tool made, and I know I have FOUR 1/2" drills. And I still use my corded tools quite a bit. I used to buy myself a Craftsman Black Friday 19.2V tool assortment every year for Christmas. SON had a good collection started too but he's a "Tool Junkie", if it isn't red and say Milwaukee he won't touch it. I finally bought my first Milwaukee cordless tool, a Milwaukee pole saw. I haven't used it yet but I think it will be great.
