I need a drill for some sanding.
What I really want is a drill that is both corded - when I have access to power - and cordless - when I am at my lock up.
Do such things exist?

You really need a very good cordless drill, most are glorified electric screwdrivers. The Bosh/dewalt ones that sky engineers use are as good if not better than most corded drillsbut they are expensive.
And a cheap corded one would be fine though, they all have plenty of torque.
You could always get a cheap compressor and use air tools or power a corded drill with it?

I have a 24V Bosch one but find it a bit heavy to use for a long time and it's definately not as good as my cheaper Bosch corded when using wire brushes etc.
Buy both. :-)

I have an Makita one I bought years ago (Cordless).
For the car, it's been spot on, and it's still going strong a good 17 years after I bought it.

I use Makita 18V Li Ion gear It's not cheap but it is some of the best kit out there. I've got the combi drill, grinder and jigsaw, all of which have more than enough power. Will be getting the circular saw as well NOTHING beats good quality power tools. You'll get fed up with cheap stuff because it's awkward, heavy, underpowered and the battery life is poor. Good power tools will find themselves new uses and they will last ages, plus as a bonus the batteries are interchangeable in the same range. |

Never heard of a dual powered one but's a nice idea.
It's true with the cordless, you get what you pay for. I have a 18v B&Q and even the 12v DeWalt I use at work is way, way better.
Look at the Amp-hours rating, not just the volts.
Absolute best I've ever used is Panasonic. Powerful and the new ones are tiny; great for tight spaces. (But not the cheapest)
Personally I'd buy a good 13mm cordless (around 14v) and a cheap corded with a hammer. A lot of them have SDS too.
