Professional tools are tested down to -20°C, and some models down to -30°C. Lithium-ion batteries temporarily lose 20–40% of their capacity in extreme cold. Store batteries at room temperature and use models with built-in thermal protection for optimal performance.

For occasional use, 2.0–3.0Ah batteries are sufficient. Professionals usually prefer 5.0Ah or higher for the best weight-to-runtime ratio. Heavy-duty tools (grinders, circular saws) may require 8.0–12.0Ah. High-capacity batteries reduce charge cycles and extend overall lifespan.

Each brand excels in specific areas. DeWalt leads in construction with its FlexVolt line. Milwaukee is the top choice for plumbing and electrical work with the M18 system. Makita is preferred for fine carpentry. FEIN specializes in industrial metal applications. Choose based on your main trade and existing battery ecosystem.

Cordless tools offer full mobility and eliminate cable hazards — perfect for job sites. Corded tools deliver constant power for heavy-duty stationary work. Modern cordless technology now matches corded power, with up to 12.0Ah batteries offering a full day’s runtime.
