I'm looking for the most power. The corded model or the 20 volt?

From the usage I have put them through so far, I would say they are reasonably close with the corded model ahead in this department. This obviously, is at the at the expense of convenience which I view as important. Most kits that I have seen, comes with the battery operated unit anyway. I know many folks quibble about the cost of batteries and power etc. but remember this is for use around the home not for the trades. By the way, Sears sells the same unit under their brand, and yes, the accessories and battery is interchangeable.

I look at for use down the road. Batteries are a big cost. 20 volts are running $50. That ismore than I payed for the cord drill and it will last longer than the battery life. Plus, yes, there is more power than a battery powered drill. I did also pick up the 12v drill. the batteries cost half as much.You would have the portability w/t 12v and the power when needed w/t corded version. Then,after ten years when you can't buy the batteries any more you still have the cord version to use with all the attachments that you purchased. Just my thoughts.

In this case, the A/C model will give you more power and will handle more load (depending on the Amperage of the breaker). Don't ask me about the physics of AC/DC, but batteries almost never compare to an A/C power tool.

If your going to use it close to a plug most of the time, or drilling in steel or heavy use. get the electric. I have both and the 12v. If your going to build a tree stand...... the 20v is great. overhead work, I love the 12v. it's very light with the LED, awesome. Streight up power, go electic, but think about what you will be useing it for the most. good luck

I have both. The corded has by far the most power. It is bigger and heavier. I use the cordless around the house for small jobs and the corded for drilling steel and rotary files

The corded is better suited for more power and especially on heavy jobs. With the cordless you would be going thru batteries fast.

Hey thanks, lol. I asked this question quite some time ago. I went with the 20 volt. It works great. I agree with you as I have done very heavy tasks with this. I ended up buying an extra battery pack. I works great now.

Great question, and great answers from all. Even though I'm just using this for around the house, I'm going to go with the corded version. I've seen reviews on the cordless version where the battery power gets sucked up fast when using certain attachments (like the sander). Granted I'm not sanding down a whole house, but I don't want to have to stop half way through a project because of a dead battery.

This is the battery-powered model. They do have one that works with an electric cord, however, but from my research a lot of the people said it didn't work as well as the battery one so I purchased this one for a friend of mine and myself. It works great.

It is a corded model. Good machine, especially for the price. I am very happy with mine.

I prefer 40amp battery instead of 20 amp. It might more heavier than 20 amp but has more power to do the edge trimming job.

Works just fine "corded" or battery only. I've had mine for over 2 years now and love it. Has been used both ways in which you are questioning.

Vacuum has the ability to provide cordless or corded operation powered by either an 18v or 20v MAX battery or an AC outlet

this is the first time I ordered one of these. I decided to go with corded model because I slways have power. Batteries wear out too fast. I found this unit easy to handle and use.

I tried the 12V model and it simply is not up to the task for most jobs. Get the one with more power.

Am in bed at the moment so have no stats for you BUT note this is corded & guide powerful. I have Belgians & found it to be almost too much, very fast & noisy too. A bit unnerving. Got a cordless I think it is 7.5v & that is far better.

Not sure if it available on a corded model, speed control is usually more useful and it is very POOR on Dewalt drills. Other brands much better

I've had my MB-200 for way too many years because I love it, but there's no way I'll be buying another one knowing full well it will lose its charging capability withiin months. It's been a corded trimmer for me for the past few years. I think it's time to finally try out the vastly superior lithium-powered MB-4040 now.

You can't compare a light weight corded model with a cordless model.Thirty to ninety minutes run time is plenty enough for me. And NO extension

No, it is corded. I think it is probably more powerful since it is not battery powered. I would highly recommend it!

a 3/8 is best all around impact gun the 20 volt is best for extended work time

I am happy with the 20v model. I can blow out my 2 car garage, 20 yard long driveway, front porch, screened-in porch and concrete deck without running out of charge at full power (approx. 15 minutes). It is also very light and built well (ergonomically and durable), dropped it a couple of times and no problem.

20w, as I understand, is the maximum output (consumption by the two channels), so it should be the same - on battery or on external power.

Power Bright also makes a 12 volt version, also sold on Amazon. That is the one you need, Sir.
