The main difference between an electric and a cordless drill is that an electric drill has a power cord that runs from the drill to an electrical outlet, while a cordless drill has a rechargeable battery pack that powers the drill. Cordless drills can be used anywhere there is an AC outlet, while electric drills require access to an electrical outlet. Additionally, electric drills tend to have more torque than their cordless counterparts due to the higher voltage of electricity they use.
