I still own two Milwaukee Holeshooter drills that are practically new and use their Quik Cord and have 6 and 26' cords. One is a 1/4" high speed that I replaced the chuck for a larger capacity and a 1/2". I to use the chuck e them with a bracket that clamps to the worktop in order to use the chuck horizontally, much like a horizontal mortiser.

The issue with cordless tools is I can't recommend them to anyone b/c of the limitations imposed by the battery system.
There is a very good deal on ridgid cordless tools at home depot right now: $150 for three brushless tools and two batteries. The tools are, by many measures, excellent. I have a friend whom I'd recommend these too as a starter set, but I can't b/c I'm not sure I can recommend the ridgid battery system.
Manufacturers need to rip the bandaid off and get on board with universal batteries. I wish Festool and Stihl would join the ampshare battery system... or any battery system really, one for 18v, one for 12v.

That would be nice yes.
