The main difference between an electric and a cordless drill is that an electric drill typically has a power source, such as an electrical outlet, while a cordless drill uses batteries. Electric drills are generally more powerful than their cordless counterparts and can be used for heavier tasks, like drilling concrete or metal, whereas cordless drills are better suited to lighter duty tasks, such as fastening screws, driving nails, or cutting wood. Additionally, electric drills tend to be more expensive than cordless drills.
