Although cordless power tools have been around for decades, the advancements in technology, size, and capabilities just within the last couple of years have come a long way. Even tools that have not been traditionally thought of as being battery operated (think grinders) are now going cordless.  

Whether technicians are making the switch to cordless for the purpose of enhanced features or convenience, cordless power tools continue to gain momentum in shops. One thing to highlight when making the sale on cordless power tools is safety.

Safety is always a concern no matter the size of the shop or number of technicians. Note that with cordless tools, technicians are not tethered to cords and hoses; this can help prevent trips and falls. Not to mention, without a cord or hose, they can move around the vehicle and shop more easily without the risk of getting tangled or having to stop a task because the cord or hose got in the way.
