Ah that's the thing I was gonna save up for. Knew I wanted a faster drill awhile ago but forgot about it and never got it. Sticking with the ryobi for now.
Also this
Is it viable to use nails instead of screws on a stand?

I know everyone loves their cordless but I wouldn't trade my porter cable corded for anything. I do also have a bargain priced Hercules drill from harbor freight probably the only thing worthwhile I've gotten from them TBH
Do I only get that comically high instantaneously drilling/screwing torque with corded? I'd imagine cordless batteries can only handle so much torque in proportion to their battery life.
There's definitely some higher end cordless drills that pack the same punch. for my purposes the spend didnt' make sense but i also dont have time to wait for batteries to charge.
for me its always the same combo of being frugal and impatient
It was only quite recently that I got a cordless battery powered combi drill, after years of using a corded one. I was one of those who continually "persuaded" myself that a cordless one was not unnecessary.
But now I wish I had changed years ago. Modern batteries have a lot of long lasting power, and if you have a spare battery too, then waiting for batteries to charge never happens.
No need to carry extension leads about on jobs far from a socket, no need to constantly be afraid of tripping over a flex, and the worse one for me is when you're precariously balanced on a ladder whilst doing a job and the flex may wrap around your legs/feet.
Cordless all the way for me now.

I would absolutely make the investment if it was something that I needed more than 1-2x a year
I just got one of these two days ago.
Wasn't expecting a free gift with the purchase. Got the $169 flood light.

Unfortunately for me my spare battery fried so once my battery dies mid project it's another half day wait before I can finish. That's not to say once it does charge it's not like it doesn't last another week, but for my purposes (and impatience) I'd like the corded.

Corded drills? Do they still make and sell those things? Or are you hunting one down in an antique shop?
Terrific tool kit. We use those constantly on my current jobsite; they are practically bulletproof. We have about 80 units, including a dozen or so that are still humming after 4 years of more or less constant use...equivalent to a few lifetimes of domestic use.I just got one of these two days ago.
